“Do I have to connect this to my phone data to get traffic updates?”

1-3 of 3 Answers

• Hi Mousie, you don't need a phone for this device to connect to Traffic. Please note that the Traffic information on this device is via an RDS-TMC receiver that is included in the box; it's not Live Traffic like some of our other devices. This means that the updates are not as accurate or timely, however as a result the device costs less. I hope that helps! - Cameron at TomTom

• The TomTom Traffic Receiver utilizes local FM stations that broadcast the low-frequency Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel. It does not require data.
