CiC RTTA not updating/broadcasting?
I have the older CiC pro-nav that uses the digital radio based traffic updates that are free. So, I realize I am probably one of five people that use this generation of built in navigation actively, but it typically is pretty well updated and accurate around Northern Virginia, so I tend to use the built in navigation a lot (mostly because of the HUD integration). So not really looking to argue merits of different systems, as it works fine for my usual needs.
However, I’ve noticed that for the past 4-5 weeks, I’m no longer getting traffic information on my navigation. I’ve tried toggling it on and off with no success, the TI symbol comes up when I enter a destination, indicating it is receiving a signal, but the traffic info menu says “no messages” and traffic is not displayed on my map either. I found an old thread where someone figured out the service that BMW uses for their traffic update and I looked at the web-based map of their service and they are definitely still showing up to date traffic and incidents like before. Has anyone else had their RTTA stop working? Is it a regional broadcast issue? Am I just using prehistoric technology that they stopped keeping up? |

I think you and I were the only ones using it. I posted the same question on m3post and got crickets.
My real time traffic also stopped around the same times. Looks like BMW finally shut down those services, but no news or any kind of communications about it. I used to use this feature all the time and was fairly accurate. I'd assume updates to CIC maps will also discontinue from this point on, I mean what's the point if it can't dynamically update since there's no traffic info anymore. Forced me to pony up for mr12volt and put in CarPlay/AA.
