Right, double check that connection in the footwell.  It should say FWD for all gears except R.

no word off tmx now for ages so on friday while ann has the day of work ill be doing the sat nav myself
ive decided i'm going to use the wires at the back of the radio and do it that way
and run an extra wire for the reverse
ive taken my traffic master out but left the wiring loom at the back of the radio in so i will use that to connect to the sat nav
hopefully it will work

easier to pick up from passenger footwell plugs. Much easier.

Also, you may want tm again... ;)

check, double check, tripple check its right.  Then blame either the unit or the gps.  Connections at radio will be no different.

Which one was it not picking up? FWD/REV? Got a speed pulse on it?

you set active levels for rev and for lights.

Does it always say rev, or does it say FWD when reverse is selected?

Display should DIM when lights switched on.

it says reverse all the time and counts the speed in -

yes display does dim when i set the active levels correct for screen
just cant set active levels for forward/reverse

so its just rev wire that needs fixing then. no point pissing with radio for that.

no sure it'll resolve you prob though, if you're getting speed pulses
