it sounds like it's limited to accidents and road construction, then it assumes traffic? i long for something that will tell me realtime how dense the traffic is, irregardless of accidents or road construction. like rush hours.

Yes but the best thing is that you can now order best of Sirius on XM and get Howard and NFL

i think it always refreshes the radio with color codes just like the iphone maps does.

Did you ever figure out if you could add xm post production?

[Rec Racing]

My dealer told me when I took delivery of my 2009 GTS that the XM module for retrofit would be available "any day". Nothing yet. Worse, the guys at Suncoast don't know if it will ever be available.

[acasshmoney]

i have xm nav traffic in my 09 gts and it is pretty accurate for the most part... but it seems to me that eveyr time i turn to my Iphone and google is always acurate and has never been wrong
