Receiving traffic data using a traffic receiver

NOTICE

Heated (metallised) windscreens could degrade the performance of the traffic receiver.

If your device includes a traffic receiver, it can receive traffic data from an over-the-air broadcast signal, where available. This feature is not available in all areas or for all product models.

NOTE: In some areas, traffic information may be received from FM radio stations using HD Radio™ technology.
  1. Verify your device includes a traffic receiver.

    • An FM traffic receiver is included in product models ending with LT or LMT.

    • A digital traffic receiver is included in product models ending with LMT-D or LMTHD.

  2. Connect the device to vehicle power using the power cable included with your device (Connecting the Device to Vehicle Power).

    The power cable included with your device includes an antenna for the traffic receiver.

When you are within a traffic coverage area, your device can display traffic information and help you avoid traffic delays.
