We were wondering where all the HD Traffic receivers intended for the x20 and x30 range had gone to, they have them in Holland and they should have been released a couple of years ago in Europe as the special accessory power cord contained a GPRS modem and SIM card.

I might be miles away from reality with this one, but my guess is the ship they loaded them on got lost and has turned up in America 24 months later! - Still if it offers better free traffic then thats a bonus although I doubt its based upon the GPRS idea due to running costs and data charges (but you can dream)

Probably more like the UK system where you purchase the receiver and its free to use for life as they have never charged subscriptions for the RDS-TMC service - Mike
