    not sure if this helps but I bought an XXL550 in the usa recently and can't get RDS-TMC to work in Australia at all - i am using the 855 map. thinking about selling this thing to someone overseas that can actually use the features.

    I just bought one off of ebay for my GO720. Works nicely.

    You need to go to TomTom website to confirm that a specific receiver will work with your model.

    Using 860.3101 maps, with recent cameras too. No problems.

    I get Sydney traffic from around Mt White on the F3 to the north of the metro area.

    As I understand it, all mainland capitals now have a Suna signal. Go to sunatraffic dot com dot au to verify. They also have the radio frequencies for each area, too, if you want to lock in a city.

    That is for the SUNA service.
    For the free to air service ,if using an European TMC receiver ,it is hard to find a station that gives you the signals and to make it worse for the last few map versions the free frequencies are no longer supported by the map ,so only SUNA would work.
    So would this RDS TMC Receiver with Part no 9V00.101? Would it not be able to Tune into the FM receiver for Australia in NSW and if so what is the frequency to tune into? Tom Tom UK said this receiver is multi region and should work in Australia it does not have a restrictive chip inside it.


    Kind regards,

    Please be more precise with the problem/error you have.
    "Not working" is no base to make suggestions.

    The unit is constantly looking for a TMC signal. The screen shows a green arrow in a circular motion can't get a steady solid green circle

    That is easy to solve!
    Simply replace the mctx.dat (root of your device) with a version from a previous working Navcore.
    The last one known to work fine is from the 8.351 Navcore.

    Default Problem with Go950

    Hi Downunder,

    I also have navcore 9.485 installed with Australia Map_905_4754 but mine is a Go950 but cant get TMC RDS working.
    The unit is constantly looking for a TMC signal. The screen shows a green arrow in a circular motion can't get a steady solid green circle.

    Any help would be great. Should I also simply replace the mctx.dat with a version from the 8.351 Navcore

    Many thanks!!!

    Just that and you will get the TMC working.
