5. Check the real-time traffic display of a known-good vehicle to make sure that the XM® NavTraffic is
being broadcast in your area.
You may have to wait 5 minutes for the traffic display to refresh.
Is real-time traffic shown on the map of the known-good vehicle?
YES - Go to step 6.
NO - Call Acura Client Services at (800) 382-2238, and check to see if there are any traffic system
outages or blackouts in your area.
NOTE: Some cities feature incident icons only. A temporary lack of incident
icons may give the impression that the system is not working properly.
6. Make sure the client's XM NavTraffic account status is active. This account is separate from the
regular XM radio subscription, and it has a separate fee.
For the '07 model, real-time traffic is free for the first 3 months. For '05-06 models vehicles, realtime
traffic was free for the first 12 months.
To check the XM NavTraffic account status:
Call XM® Satellite Radio at (800) 852-9696.

Inform the agent that you are working on an Acura vehicle, and ask them to check the XM

NavTraffic account status. It is possible the client owns more than one vehicle capable of
displaying real-time traffic. Have the agent confirm that the XM NavTraffic subscription
applies to the vehicle VIN you are working on.
