Thread: Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

nothing !?

Can you check if it's the same screen from this post? if no subscription list I assume no traffic code or it's out of order.

Thank you bpb for all your help. I managed to get a camera and take some photo's for you. I will try to get them on here but been havng a heck of a time getting on this site today. I hope these pictures go through because I only have dial-up. I had 1 more but would only let me upload 5. Please let me know what you think. Thank you very much.....spoc

It shows up in the list of TMC providers, but the traffic symbol never shows up
GTM35 with Nuvi3790.
Probably needs a SA firmware/device

Can you try the 1953, 17, 17, 1 it will accept the code but acquiring FM traffic is questioning.

sid="128" ?

your unit and this GTM cable worked before? To me it's look like not a correct subscription.

Yes, It all came together when I bought it. The green and orange lights work on the plug. The green stays on and the orange flickers.When I had the 3 month sub, it worked great. Now it seems that the person talking sends ya on a wild goose chase. Only thing I did was change map to 2012.10 and mess with this traffic to try to get it working. It originally had 2009 map on it. Thank you soooo much....spoc

Situation is quite odd:
Added the previous code, it showed Subscription added, also with the name Netstar Alltech...
Then its searching the providers and suddenly the subscription is gone, like I never typed it inside.
Not sure whether its related to the Firmware, or having CN South Africa and Garmap 2011 3rd Edition installed, or that both maps are unlocked.
Thanks for the code, I will try and update here

This is the last photo. Also my daughter drove over a hundred miles with it connected today and it never did activate. She also said the unit was sending her all over the place that was out of the way and that never happened before.

Now I see you have the expired subscription. only TTN and expired in 2008

Then why not just put in the one for NAVTEQ first? You can use it during finding other solution for TTN.
Will be good if you still have the 3 months subscription code you paid for it.
