For several years I have used a TTGo300 and linked via Bluetooth to my phone to get Traffic updates this has worked well. I wish to upgrade to a TT720T but have heard varying reports about the reception for traffic updates. My question is: can you disable the Traffic on a 720T (or alternatively use a TT720) & still link via Bluetooth to my phone for the Traffic info. None of the reviews I have read discusses this option.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Save yourself some money on the purchase price of the 720, purchase a 720 rather than a 720T and you will be able to pair up via your mobile phone to get traffic in the way you want, this also avoids paying for something you won't use.

GPRS Traffic is far more reliable than RDS-TMC, you can still use GRPS TMC even with a 720T, all you have to do is unplug the receiver and it reverts back to GPRS mode - Mike

Thanks for the advice, I'll go with the 720.
