Should the empeg be displaying any info since it's showing the TA symbol?
No, the empeg should just behave like any other RDS radio
Regarding the TMC signal the empeg is deaf as it does not have the bits that makes it able to hear the data-stream
Any correct me if i'm wrong
small side note: in my part of the world the goverment system provides these TMC channels and they are FREE, it's a benefit for all parts, people can move faster, and if there are roadworks or something they don't have to battle so much with cars as they are auto send on another route
