I appreciate the potential need but, enviseage the scenario....
Doing 70 to 80 down the M6, the traffic alert tells you there is a hold up about 20 minutes or so ahead. Great stuff, used that to my advantage more than once when on the M/ways.
Whats it look like then?
Start faffing away tring to get a 'live' update of stationary traffic on a 3 lane superslab, somewhere, then - cor, fek, bigger me - there it is in front and ABSABSABSABS.... Nearies..
Sometimes, I think info can be a tad TOO readily available.... :o ::)

This is where the far simpler Trafficmaster is far superior IMHO..... As long as you know non-motorway routes.

I find the radio type alert on my TT works reasonably well but I always retain the choice to accept or avoid.
The live TV bit is just that. Watching a stationary motorway traffic thingy, via a TT. Whats the advantage? Its either stopped or flowing - why distract yourself from whats a few hundred metres in front of you, FFS?
