When you receive warning of incidents ahead, you'll have time to reroute and avoid getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper gridlock. NavTeq, a leader in the in-car navigation industry, assembles traffic information from a variety of sources, including commercial traffic data providers, departments of transportation, emergency services, cameras, and aerial traffic reports.
Best of all, the traffic-data service works independently of your SIRIUS broadcasts, so you'll be able to navigate and still listen to satellite radio programming. And the radio sends channel, song, and artist information to your DVD player's display. Currently, traffic data is available in most major metropolitan areas.

A subscription just to SIRIUS Satellite Radio costs $12.95 per month. Adding the traffic-data service raises the total subscription price to $16.95 per month. Or you can choose to receive the traffic-data service without SIRIUS for $9.95 per month.
