Default Navigation traffic info not showing up

I have all functions turned on inside menu options.

I have Sirius xm subscription and they told me it's not a service they provide for Lexus.

So I'm thinking its a service from Lexus, is this true ?

Traffic and weather is free through HD radio. I've had issues in the past with my weather map not showing up (I honestly don't pay much attention to the traffic), and when that happens I delete personal info and it works again.

**Beware that deleting personal info deletes radio stations memory and sound settings, which sucks.

If your IS is 2014+, then your car actually has HD Radio Traffic, which is subscription-free. If traffic is turned on and not showing, try rebooting the system by holding down the volume button. If that doesn't work, then you might want to take it to the dealer to have check.

I noticed HD signal is kinda spotty in my area, so some traffic doesn't appear at times.

I tried both options and nothing has worked. I also just noticed its not downloading the weather info, so I think its all related.

Can I reset the hd radio, It seems like its on

Hey SilviaIS i also had this issue on my 2014 IS. I am also located in new york and spent multiple trips at the dealer trying to resolve the issue. Even software updates would temporarily help but after i had to disconnect the battery for something it went back to the old way and i was able to replicate the issue. after disconnecting my battery it the traffic and weather would not work.

-finally they opened a case with lexus and replaced my entire radio and it seems to be working just fine. hopefully it stays that way

Is the HD radio (traffic/weather) supposed to work in Canada? I know that my area supports it because I live in a major city and my dad has a Garmin GPS that can get the traffic signal.
