Audi: Now equipped with real-time traffic information in the UK

GermanCarFans is writing that the Audi A6 and Audi A8 models are now equipped with RAC Trafficmaster satellite navigation to give drivers advance warning of traffic congestion.

Britain’s traffic jams will soon contain fewer Audis as RAC Trafficmaster is to begin beaming real-time traffic information direct to the satellite navigation systems of A6 and A8 models, helping drivers to steer clear of congestion.

Audi UK will integrate RAC Trafficmaster's RDS TMC (Radio Data System Traffic Message Channel) service initially on satellite navigation systems fitted to the A6 and A8 from November 2005. The real time traffic data technology will enable drivers to monitor traffic conditions and will automatically redirect them away from congested routes in order to minimise traffic delays.
