It is for a Mazda NB1 system. I am currently using Australia 955.6746 Maps. It needs to be files from before 2010 - so around version 830, 835, or 840. I will only be extracting the files related to RDS/TMC.

As explained in my first post. I have hardware that supports RDS/TMC in a country that has a RDS/TMC service (SUNA Australia). Problem is TomTom stopped support for SUNA in 2010. TomToms produced before 2010 still support SUNA. I have read that someone had success getting RDS/TMC to work on newer TomToms in Australia by replacing the RDS/TMC related files with ones that date back before 2010.

The old files I am trying to find are:

<root directory>
mctx.dat
mctx.txt

<Australia Directory> (maps folder)
tmccodes.dat
traffic.dat
traffic.inc

Thanks to this forum, I have had some success in updating my maps and speed cams on a Mazda TomTom NB1 system. I am now looking at trying to activate RDS/TMC here in Australia. RDS/TMC service in Australia is offered by a company called SUNA. Up until 2009/10, TomTom units that supported RDS/TMC came with lifetime traffic service with SUNA. Then, for some reason (presumably licensing issue), TomTom decided to stop supporting SUNA ... BUT all previously sold units could continue to use their Rating: 5

Test 1

Out of curiosity, downloaded US North West 960.7056 map and tried replacing my tmccodes.dat and traffic.dat with its. I was aware of people using RDS/TMC in this region - so was curious if the traffic bar would at least show up. Test failed. Still no traffic bar.

Still hopeful a moderator or contributor may have an old Australia 830 or 835 map backed up somewhere so I'm able to try those files.

Also, can anyone who is using TMC confirm if they have the two mctx files in there root directory... and the additional traffic.inc file in the map folder (the downloads i have tried so far only have tmccodes.dat and traffic.dat

Thanks.
