Product Description
This new accessory will enable users to receive traffic information via radio signal. The TomTom RDS/TMC Traffic Receiver connects to TomTom GO GPS receivers and will automatically start receiving traffic information from the device. Subscription fee required to receive service to help keep you alert of ongoing traffic issues among participating areas in USA and Canada. The device comes with a 12-month subscription. After that, the subscription may be renewed at about $60 per year. In addition the TomTom RDS/TMC Traffic Receiver provides TomTom users with alternative routes if delays occur, which ensures limited delays to any journey. The unit interfaces with several TomTom GPS car devices. The TomTom RDS/TMC Traffic Receiver works by using TMC signals that are received through a normal FM radio antenna and broadcast by national or regional providers. By simply connecting the new TomTom GO device to the RDS/TMC Traffic Receiver, users will automatically receive traffic information via the TMC connection. Once a journey is planned, traffic alerts which relate to the route are clearly displayed in the traffic bar on the right hand side of the screen. When the user taps an icon shown in the traffic bar, they receive further information, such as the cause or kind of delay to traffic, such as an accident or traffic jam. In addition, the TomTom PLUS Traffic service provides up to date information on weather and road conditions. TomTom Traffic is a subscription based service that can be obtained via wireless data connection (GPRS, UMTS etc.).

This product works very well with my Tom Tom, and is really great keeping me out of traffic.

I ordered the Tom Tom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver. No problem with the shipping, I got it fast.
However, it was not what I ordered. It came with a POST plug rather than the rather flat plug pictured.
I have contacted the company and am waiting for a reply. I would like to exchange it for the one
I paid for.
Looks good so far October 22, 2009

I just received the antenna , having bought one over the net a couple of weeks ago. I live in the Toronto area and as soon as I picked a destination it mapped the route and reported no delays. So far, so good. I hope it will perform as well here as it has for some. Picking up the FM signals seems not to be a problem in the Toronto area. I only paid a few bucks for it incidentally.
 Love it! June 17, 2009

I live in St. Paul and work in the Minneapolis area. This show me when I am approaching traffic and how long the delay is. So far, it hasn't been wrong!

Simple to use - plug it in and you're done! The traffic service has saved me many times during my daily commutes in the notorious traffic of Atlanta, GA.
There are only two drawbacks I've encountered.
1) On a recent trip to Florida the antenna could not find a radio station that provided traffic information in rural Alabama, so I had to switch over to the wireless data connection via my cellphone (which gathers the info via satellite).
2) You can't use the antenna & the iPod connector at the same time because they both use the same input point on the device.
Other than those two minor details I've been completely satisfied with both the TomTom and the antenna.
