Trafic Master

[legin]

Hi just exchanged my 100,000+mile Galaxy for a 32,000 52 plate C5 2.2 SX auto and I am very pleased with it. Had a message today saying the trafic master is out of subscription and I was wondering if the system is worth having and the cost. Cheers!

I would also be interested in hearing someones opinion on the value of having traffic master re-enabled by renewing the subscription.

Is it worth it, and exactly what does it do please?

I have Trafficmaster in my car and it costs about £30/year. It's very useful and acquires the information as soon as it's within coverage.

 

Coverage is motorways and main A roads. It tells you of traffic jams up to 3 junctions or ten miles ahead IIRC. The C5 TM installation never needs touching - I run mine in auto mode.

 

It mutes the radio if the unit is set to auto and will allow you to avoid jams in the short to middle distance. I've found it reliable, but you must know how the system works to get the best from it.
