Yes it does. When I took a test drive I could also see the real time traffic jams in the MAP. But its in Europe, I do not know if that will be same in US as well.

Even if it does have it, it all depends if there is actually service in that area. As hebsan said, Hawaii is one of the unlucky states/areas where XM won't work nor will my Acura Nav-Traffic work either.

Navi does not have live traffic standard. It may be possible with teleaid but not sure. Its the only thing missing in an otherwise great navigation system

I am amazed how few people subscribe to TeleAide. The cost, after the initial free one year service is very expensive. Most people I know have it disconnected. One would think that MB would be interested to have as many clients connected as possible. If they would cut the rate by 50% triple the amount of clients would subscribe.
Same goes for the Satellite Radio. You want to tell me that the employee from MB who made the deal with Sirius Radio could not get even a free 2-3 months trial period so we can hear the radio?
Years ago we had to pay for a rear view mirror on the right hand side, then we had to pay for a CD player for years and now it's the TeleAide and the Satellite Radio. How cheap can you get? Mercedes-Benz cheap that is.!!!!

for europe its the same as well . free service. I have to check this today once I pick up my car in few hours . In the test drives i took in all cars (3 cars different dealers ) i saw this real time traffic. I will update you guys today. But that would only be for holland mob!
I am pretty sure its free service here due to TOMTOM being so popular here with all the magic things and setting new market standards. I can be wrong as i m never tested this or have knowledge about it. I used to work for tomtom for only 2 months.
