Dear VWA, Your many loyal customers across Australia have suffered for years with an expensive factory navigation system that lacks many features available on the same system in other parts of the world. Intelematics now offer an FM band TMC in major cities around Australia. This system is compatible with the RNS510/Columbus navigation systems which Australian customers have paid a lot of money for as options in their vehicles. As part of the next map data update to be released as an optional upgrade for VWA's customers, we the undersigned request that VWA enable this missing feature to allow full use of the capabilities of the otherwise well integrated RNS510 system. Regards, VWA fans of Australia

Updates

July 7, 2013

The feedback from fellow owners continues to confirm that this missing functionality remains a significant frustration for Australian drivers. I am currently preparing formal correspondence to represent our collective position to the regional office. Your resolve provides the necessary foundation for these discussions.

$52,000 for a car and I still have to sit in traffic with no warning. Please turn traffic on

Come on Skoda...you are being left behind in the Australian Market! Please support your loyal customers who support you! I tell anyone who asks "What's your car like?" with the usual "I love it! Except for the lack of TMC enabled here in Australia"

My daughters' much cheaper Holdens have TMC as standard, I am very nonplussed that Skoda have not seen fit to activate it in my Superb

I dont understand why my 2011 Nissan X-Trail offers this feature but a Premium brand like VW does not. My Q5 Audi did not have it eiter but its just been added to the new line up. Come on VWA keep up with the times.

Poor form from a premium brand, yet budget features. The button is there! Stop teasing us.
