Traffic Alerts


Hey Guys,

Sorry if this topic was raised before, I had a look but couldn't find information on the traffic alert feature that comes standard on the TL / TI range.

How does this feature work? Ive tried a number of ways to get some results but couldn't get any alerts to come up on the screen despite having travelled through two accidents so far.

Look forward to hearing your experiences with this feature

Cheers

Re: Traffic Alerts


If it is anything like the Traffic Alerts from Garmin, they only work in some Urban areas covered by the FM broadcast to the receiver.

Designed for City dwellers only.

Traffic Alert does not include my locum, but I did get one alert one time when driving in Brisbane.

Re:


My Eclipse GPS in my Ti only gives me a "traffic jam ahead" alert every now and then. Nothing about accidents. This feature only works when you set an address to go to.

Re:


Thanks for the responses.

Jalalski - Yep, I thought that too. I've turned on the nav system when going to destinations where traffic is a factor and have got nothing despite driving past two accidents (one on the monash parking lot and the other on the western ring road) and whole of lot of traffic jams.

I would have thought that living in a major capital city would mean that it's constantly being updated or at least on more congested roads... Its not a big deal if upgrades are planned for this feature but as it stands its disappointing that it hasn't worked at all in the month that I've owned the exy

I also get visual alerts of "road works ahead" but not audible ones.

Re:


Has anyone had any success in getting the Traffic Alerts to work in Perth?

I've had my Navman with TMC side by side the T31 Series 5 head unit and I can see traffic messages and traffic alerts on the Navman but getting nothing in the X-Trail.

Just taken it in for inspection to see if its faulted...

It' probably one of the following...

• Radio antenna (AV-268, "Exploded View")
• Antenna feeder (AV-270, "Harness Layout")

Re:


I've been told by the service centre that Traffic Alerts are not provided by Nissan.

It's abit of a cop-out as the sales rep used it as one of the many amazing features that it had.
