Real Time Traffic on an 08 C class
I am in the midst of purchasing a C Class for my wife but she really wants the real traffic update that's available on the 09 C Class.

Is there anyway that this can be installed on the 08 model or is this not possible?

I think the Real Time Traffic is only available on the C class with Sirius satellite radio for the 2010 models and onwards. But maybe you can asking the dealer if it available through a program update.

I would also suggest buying a car without Navigation and installing the Universal Media Interface ( UMI ) :

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...pensation.html

https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-pictures.html

This will give you navigation with FREE real time traffic for life, the ability to play music from a USB thumb drive, full iPod or iPhone control, AUX input, and the ability to stream music via Bluetooth.

Price is around $2000 installed.

Hope that helps...

Nick

c300
it would probably be worthwhile to work the NAV+4 into the price with the dealer prior to purchase and save on labor costs

Here's more info :

It seems you can get traffic through Sirius for the 2008 and 2010 models with factory navigation, but I can't confirm if it is available for the 2009.
