That's correct, and TMC information can be transmitted via RDS too. But the receiver needs a special tuner to decode the info, something which Mitsubishi skipped for the US MMCS until today. The presence of a TMC/RDS tuner in the US MMCS is something not confirmed yet. The EU versions of the MMCS has more radio tuners (FM/MW/LW) with 3 groups of FM presets (compared to 2 groups for US).

 

bringing up an old thread here.

anyone figure out how to get FM RDS messages for the radio? FM station name, song name ect? for US


TMC traffic works fine with the jumper installed...but no RDS messages for fm stations

 

If TMC shows as N/A, then I have the solution. I forgot the part number, but here is a diagram with the PNC number. Just print this out and give it to the dealership. They will be able to get the part.

It was roughly $30. And takes 5 minutes to click in. Then the RDS works. You just have to scan and find a station. Once you find one it is saved.

Only enables TMC traffic updates. does not show FM music info. SORRY!

 

Can you make a pic of RDS screen?

I upgraded my N-02 to N-05, no antenna was included.

I've connected 2 wires between both connectors, now TMC works, I can see RDS messages in TMC setup, yet radio does not show anything new.

 

Ohh ****. My bad guys. I didnt have a solution....

What ended up happening was I got a PM at the evox forums about the jumper cable to get the traffic messages to work. and the guy posted a link to this forum. So without even reading the thread I just posted that info.....It was after a 14 hour work day.....please excuse me lol


My bad.... we can delete it now. no FM radio messages. Just traffic updates

 

Challenge has been accepted.

I will find the way to activate it on our MMCS'.

 

Haha. good. If I can be of any assistance let me know. I have a N-05 with american stations down here in good ol boston

 

Work in progress...

 

Any update on this guys?

I just installed a nav unit in my 2012 lancer. It was easy plug and play, everything works fine except it is showing TMC Antenna = N/A

I've been looking online extensively but can't seem to find anything...except this thread which appears to be dead...

Thanks!

 

Get an antenna ($40 part) or just make your own like I did. Two pieces of wire, one is being used as TMC enabling switch.

No progress with RDS reception yet
