Sirius Traffic

Jon_Hanson · 01-10-2006, 04:36 PM

I was wandering around Sirius' website and saw that they offer a traffic information service like our friends in Europe have (I'm not talking about the traffic channels). The data shows up on your navigation system to alert you of road closures or traffic jams. I doubt it is but does anyone know if the iDrive navigation system is compatible with this (it may be since it's the same data format as in Europe)?

No such luck. The only car I know that has this ability built in the the Acura RL with XM Traffic. I suppose it requires a more robust receiver/display system. But who knows what's in the future?
