In February of this year I posted an article relating to receiving instructions from my 520 TomTom using the FM to my car radio. This came about from downloading the latest updates from TomTom which had removed this facility. Whilst discussing another problem with TomTom technical Dept today, I was informed that a new update was about to be released and the instructions to FM had been reintroduced. I was told that the system had been tweaked so that music was played continuously but could not be heard and it allowed for the instructions to be intermittently transmitted when required, and this made the unit comply with the new EU laws. I have not had the opportunity of investigating this further and would be interested to know from any others who have come across this information.

Isn't that interesting news.........

Thank you for posting.

If implemented, and soon, may stop some NA users from foaming at the mouth ... (the stuttering fix for most did help the foaming problem somewhat! Laughing )

The method you have described is something myself and a few others suggested on this forum as a way around this issue some time ago - It will be very a very welcome return of the missing funtionality if true -

Silent mp3 tracks might be needed though to get just the Nav instructions played via FM Wink - Mike
