Trafficmaster Oracle to cease service

I go past the blue poles every day, so always press the button for the sake of it, A three thirty nine, traffic flowing freely

The Blue Poles as you call it, and the Blue Cameras will stay, there still part of the Traffic Information System, its the Grey boxes with the 2 Poles on top (Sprayed Antennas) at the Junctions that will start to disappear or not work any more.

Still remember this on tomorrows world and top gear back in the day. Think the demonstrator used an LCD and it was in a Sierra or similar! I think it was the bearded TG presenter!

I can confirm, as of this morning, that parts of the M42 and a huge section of the M6 are now no longer receiving the Oracle service 

[TheBoy]

M40 still was getting it though.

oh noooooo, TM Oracle is dying a slow death, A339 is still working as of 3:30pm this afternoon.

Well im sure we shall see an upsurge of people buying a new or used dash part without the TM button, once its gone, ill be taking mine out, i dont want redundant equipment in the car that i cant use. And there is no point in trying to flog the unit, button and loom

Quick update

Seems as though TM has gone now, as of today, A339 dissapeared, M4 gone, the only one i know of still going is the M25 and a small stretch of the A12.

RIP TM

New dash ordered, box, button and loom being pulled out and thrown, no use to anyone now. Will have to put up with crappy radio traffic reports

A43 and A5 still transmitting. No idea if data valid though

[grain.ben]

Ive given up with it now, being ripped out as soon as the new part arrives, and a snotty phone call to TM to get the remainder of my subscription back

I can't face:
In the Facelift Elite: Removing the stereo to get TM loom out
In the prefacelift MV6: Remaking the satnav loom that is a modified TM Loom.

So the box will have to stay for now

[grain.ben]

I shall worry about the loom at a later date, i will remove the black box, tape the loom up to something else so it dont rattle and replace the drivers side glove box and all that bit, o it doesnt have the tm button there, jobs a gudden

I need to keep box in place due to external audio going through it (bluetooth, telematics)

Same as its always been then

I shall be keeping my TM system installed.  The loom has other stuff running through it, and the button may well come in handy for another function at some point in the future.

Until last month, its always been good
