Hi. It depends how much major road driving you do each year.. the system is good whether it is worth the money depends on you!David W wrote:Guys. Just bought a 1999 SX TD Xantia Estate with Trafficmaster.... and it keeps grumbling at me to re-subscribe. Is the system so useless it's not worth the £30/year?
Cheers,
David

The best thing I've found about it is that it'll prevent you from getting on a slip road only to find the motorway solid, best used in conjunction with a GPS so you can find you way easily on alternative routes.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

Stempy.
Does your current V6 have Trafficmaster? I was interested in a description of what sort of warnings it gives you, how far out from trouble and does it offer any alternatives?
Also does the Trafficmaster have a seperate booklet or are the instructions in the stereo manual?
I don't have the stereo instruction book in my car and need to know how to work the trafficmaster as it needs some sort of code phoning through to renew the subscription... and I don't know where to find it.

It gives you various degrees of warnings which I believe range to about 12 miles ahead. It'll tell you the range and severity of the delay, how long to expect to be delayed and will also tell you to avoid the area if it's really bad. The instructions for mine are in the back of the vehicle handbook.
If you go to the Trafficmaster website you can do all your subscribing from there. It's just a matter of getting the licence number from the box then entering that and the vehicle registration into the website along with your credit card number, they will then issue you with a pin number to activate the box. It's all done by button press sequences, the book should tell you and again there is some information on the website.

Thanks Stempy. I have no info at all on the Trafficmaster in my car handbook so will have to try the dealers of perhaps EBay for a used book. I think you are confirming I need to get the Trafficmaster unit in my car to display a serial number somehow as it will be needed to subscribe. I think I will try it for at least the first year.

It will speak the serial number to you, I think you have to stab the button quickly either two or three times.
