Hey anyone else with a 2013-2014 that no longer has satellite radio notice the traffic information on the freeways was working? It started working again after my last service (1 week ago) and I double checked my satellite radio and it is indeed shut off. Did they do a update at my last service or something?

(I thought 2015+ models no longer needed satellite radio for traffic information)

 

Sirius/XM was running a promotional free period for all the inactivated radios which ended. Most likely that is why it was working and now it is not.

 

I was wondering why my traffic alerts were working again. I rarely drive so I let my subscription lapse.

 

I saw that the Weather feature (red clouds icon symbol) was working a week or so ago when we had a thunder storm nearby. It provided live radar and the forecast. The very next day I checked it and the Weather feature was no longer working.

 

my promo is over and it is still working today morning, i will check on the ride home. I did try my sirius radio and it wasn't working.

 

update my sirius radio is not working but traffic info remains..

 

I'm in Canada, and yes I also experienced the traffic updates suddenly started working since last week, and still is working today. Is it a freebie? Glitch?

 

It started working for me after my last service.. maybe they updated my firmware.

 

Nope. I do all my own service, my car hasn't seen a dealer in 3 years.

 

When I bought my car, I received 30 days of Sirius/XM trial. On the appointed expiration date, it didn't stop working. I left it on to see if it would eventually stop. It took about 8-9 days for them to turn it off and return to the promo only channel. I haven't driven my car this week so I can't say if mine would have gotten traffic. I'm selling my old beater and trying to burn the gas out of it.

 

Same here in Canada..just noticed my traffic working about middle of May. I haven't been to the dealer, so no updates were installed. I thought it pulled it through my phone somehow.

 

Still working today when I bothered to look. It even occasionally has voice telling me about about congestion on major routes. I usually use Waze on my phone but it's nice to get a freebie. Hopefully it stays.

 

Does everyone still have access to traffic? Mine has been on all weekend, still had it on during my morning commute. I have a 2013 Lux.

I'm trying to not get my hopes up that this is permanent, but it has been pretty nice so far to have the traffic show up on the screen. Can anyone confirm if this is simply a trial or not?

 

Mine is still working also. I use Waze when I need traffic info but it is nice to have traffic on the car screen as well. It seems to be pretty accurate and in sync with Waze albeit a little delayed compared to Waze.

 

still working for me, sirius radio is not active If there was any type of promo i doubt it would last 2-3 weeks
