Sat Nav Question

Hi

I tried posting this a couple of days back, but it ended up with the hello messages. Sorry if I break any rules by reposting it here, but it is a Superb question.

I'm thinking of getting a 1.9 Tdi Elegance as my next company car and have a couple of questions about the sat nav.

1 has anyone got the replacement disk that enables TMC (Traffic Managment Channel) on this, and if so where from?

2 With the TMC do you have to have the radio tuned to Classic FM (they broadcast the data) in order for it to work like you do on the Passat, or is it inteligent enough to 'listen' to this on it's own leaving you to listen to whatever station you prefer, as on my current Laguna?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Hello there I have the factory fit sat nav in my car (superb 2.8 elegance tip),and while I think the car is great,the sat nav is absolute crap.The mapping is not very clear and I encounter software problems and map errors all the time where I live in NW UK.I also have a Garmin IQ3600 which is brilliant and only cost £300.The Factory system is a waste of money.
