Today my XM NAV traffix does not seem to be functioning right. It is not showing route 66 and some other roads that traffic flow. Is anyone else in the area experiencing these pronlems today. Thanks

 

I didn't check today, but I'll be sure to check tomorrow.

 

Thanks allot, I was just curious.

 

Traffic flow info on I66 outside the Beltway, but none inside the Beltway. That's how it usually works for me.

 

Same problem in DC/MD area. Car is just 1 year old - i discontinued the navtraffic service. Unrealiable. Not that XM radio's traffic station is that much better.

 

Yea I now but I am a perfectionist and shit like that bothers me. I will take the car back untill all is perfect.

 

I agree that the XM traffic utility in DC is poor.

The DC traffic channel is still helpful, but only as good as the input. I have the phone number pre-set in my Handsfree connection, and call in everything I see. More people need to call in to keep the service current. They seem to appreciate the help.

Lets face it, there are few ways around the bottlenecks in DC anyway. Nothing will save you when you're stuck at the Cabin John parking lot near the 270 split. Even the Rt 15 alternate back to MD through Frederick is jammed up these days.

 

Are you getting any info? if not pull the #5 fuse from the under dash fuse box for about 15 sec. you will need to enter your radio code and nav code. Everything should work ok for a while but you may need to have your acuralink control unit replaced. I live in the metro dc area and my has been working fine all week.

 

Thanks for the input guys. Everything seemed to be displaying today that is suppose to. If you go to there website you can see a list of roads that are suppose to have flow data in your area. It is helpfull for anyone who is curious so I guess the problem seems to be that xm is not always sending out all the data?I hope it stays on because it really is helpful. I think its like allot of things that I did not notice how much I glance at it untill it was not working. Than I was like uhoh.Should I get on 66 or take the toll road for instance.

 

John - Mine displayed rt.66 today too. As a matter of fact it seemed to be more acurate, with color patterns switching from yellow to red appropriately in those area. I wonder if they updated the system or something. Until recently it seemed that the color codes on rt.66 were always delayed/late by about 10 -15 mins. . .

This was definately an XM prob and not Acura. . .

 

Yea I know what you mean. It was working flawlesly today and changeing and updating constantly. I hope it stays this way. This does tell us that it must be an XM issue and not an acura one because a few of us have noticed.
