Two key factors are required for TMC to work:

1. The map disc must have the TMC location database on the disc. If this exists, you can select travel info.
Once selected, TMC lights up red on the screen, as TMC is active, and looking for an RDS-TMC signal.

2. You must have an FM-RDS station in your area broadcasting the TMC data, and you must be tuned to it. One received, TMC lights up green on the screen.

I believe you are in the USA: I don't think anyone radio station broadcast RDS TMC data in the USA, and if they did, I don't think any maps exist for the Mk4 nav with a TMC database on them.

I think that i will have to dissagree with you there, in the Information menu Travel Information is POI after going into that menu, you can chouse on location or on destination...... an then for instance hotells speedcams and so on (dont know exactly i run my on Swedish, tnx to you and navtweek)

As for the issue that it is grayed out...
Insert your nav cd/dvd into the pc and check if you have folder called TPD, if not then you have old version disk that dont carry POI.
Before software carried POI and not disks, that changed allong the way, so that could be your problem. One more thing can generate randome issues, and that is bad cd-r try a brand cd-r that might help
