I have a HTC 3300 mobile phone that has Tomtom installed as standard and also has a FM radio. Is it possible to use the traffic updates on Classic FM to integrate with the Tom Tom software and if so how would I go about this.

Welcome to the forum, nice choice of hardware by the way.
Sadly you cannot use the Artemis built in radio for RDS-TMC it simply won't work, the only way you can get traffic information is GPRS and a subscription to the service from TomTom.
Another problem is the headphones have to be plugged in for the radio to work which prevents you from charging the device, even with a three in one addaptor connected the radio doesn't work - Mike

I don't believe the HTC3300 has support for processing the TMC messages within the hardware...

Having said that, there are other phones that do have the correct hardware...

TomTom only support RDS-TMC on their own hardware, not on the PDA version - other satnav vendors (Route 66 for example) do support TMC on their PDA products, but I'm not aware of anyone saying those apps have working TMC with the HTC3300 (or any HTC device).
