I've had my GT a while now and I'm dead intrigued what this is.

I'm guessing its some type of early navigation but I don't want to take it out in case it adds value to the car and can still be used if needed.

Any ideas thoughts or links to what it is would be great

It's a traffic master set up - and pretty much exactly what you suggested, except it was only to warn of traffic issues I think, not to actually navigate.

It worked manually. pressing the button rang TM head office, where you told an operator where you were going, and they programmed it in - the system would then give you traffic warnings.

I know this because my parents new motorhome had the button fitted, and I, being of inquisitive mind, pressed it. Nothing seemed to happen at the time, but a short while later, as they were driving along, a disembodied voice kept saying 'hello?' to them.

lol, I have tried pressing it myself as well and I just get a 'no subscription' message after a couple of seconds.

I cant see why anyone would want to use this, not now sat navs are so cheap and can detect traffic as well with the higher models.

I think ill take it out. Just hope its as simple as unplugging stuff, taking bits of trim out and covering up the button hole.
