Sirius with NAv- Traffic update
Does anyone know if when you order the traffic and music package from Sirius if the traffic is interegated with the Q NAv system which is suppossed to give you traffic updates?
Spoke with Sirius and they told me that if the car MAnufacterer OEM Nav is either NAv-TEq or Teleatlas- GDP that it will work?
Thanks

Re: my dealer says that the nav uses nav-teq...
I know thats what I told Sirius but they say that when the signal is sent over it automatically updates you on your nav - screen is this true?

Re: As the NAV is DVD based I don't see how sirius info would be integrated
The data that's displayed on your MAP screen is being read from the DVD. I don't know how traffic information would be displayed based on how the current system is configured.
I think someone at Sirius is blowing smoke to get you to purchase additional services, but check the manual to be absolutely sure or call 1 800 Audi.

Sirius Traffic
Please see link for more info, it looks like only Alpine Navigation can access this service from sirius. Acura's Nav has Real Traffic from XM.<ul><li><a href="http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=FlexContent&cid=1134268001280 #">http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=FlexContent&cid=1134268001280 #</a</li><

I called sirius
Customer service advised to find out from audi if the nav system is compatible with real traffic and that the car navigation may need a alpine turner. I have Email AudiUSA and will post when I get an answer.
