Navigation System Symptom Troubleshooting - No HD Traffic information
No HD Traffic information
Check the vehicle battery condition first.
Check for aftermarket accessories including phones and chargers plugged into the vehicle accessory power sockets.
Check the reception in an open area. Poor reception/interference can be caused by the following;
?
The radio station is far away
?
Atmospheric conditions are unfavorable
?
Tall buildings, mountains, or high-voltage power lines are nearby
Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
