Shouldn't the real questions be:
1) Which locale in the US provides real-time traffic information? and
2) Will my command be capable of receiving it while interupting my regular listening enjoyment?

euro models have TMC which does not work in the US. US has XM navtraffic which does not work on the comand. So None of the USA mercedes support life traffic as of this post.

There are currently tests of real time traffic aimed at the top 50 US markets using FM subcarrier spectrum. The moguls are working to see if a subscription service or advertiser supported business models would work. To my mind, neither will make a penny, and this work should be carried out by government. They already have the hardware to detect traffic problems, they are just stingy about sharing it.
