TerminatorX5 is on a distinguished road
supposedly, one can retrofit (unconfirmed!!) a TMC module back to iBus cars with MK4 (and possibly MK3) vehicles with maps with TMC info on them.

That is my quest right now - I am trying to see, if the Sirius subscription service ($5 a month) passes that TMC info to the MK4, or the TMC module (a dedicated TMC receiver for BM53-single tuner) is needed.

Shelling out $600-700 just to try it out and who knows, if it will work or not - not a best perspective... So, last few days I was combing the English and Russian speaking sites for more info... no luck...

I would want to try it out but I also want to know if it is a no-go, would I be able to return the nit back...

That part number is a whole retrofit kit containing a dozen other part numbers, if you need those individual numbers, I can post them too...
