Thank you for replying.

I was wondering, if your hardware setup, is indeed as you had it described once - the US spec BM53, and a MK4 nav computer. Obviously, the UK has the TMC, that is broadcast on the Classic FM and the US may or may not have the same type of the TMC system (broadcast on various stations, as there isn't a single frequency nationwide station).

Given two of the variable still not being confirmed, the TMC broadcast and the TMC data on the disk, I wanted to confirm at least the hardware - granted, that I might never be able to use the TMC in the US, sometimes I get to travel around the world and get to take my car with me, so maybe, I might be able to use the same hardware in some other country (which might have a better TMC operation than, say in UK... lol)

would you be able to describe in higher detail your hardware set up and your experience with using the system?

Being in a different country sometimes is hard to comprehend things that are obvious to a native...
