TMC stands for “Traffic Message
Channel”.
The car sound system provides con-
nections that allow you to connect ex-
ternal amplifiers. You can also connect
a subwoofer to the device’s integrated
low-pass filter. In order for this to work,
the amplifier and subwoofer must be
connected in the manner described in
the installation instructions. We recom-
mend you use well-matched products
from the Blaupunkt or Velocity product
ranges.
Traffic reports are broadcast digitally
using TMC, which means they can be
used by compatible navigation systems
during route planning. Your car sound
system has a TMC output, which you
can use for connecting Blaupunkt nav-
igation systems. You can find out from
your Blaupunkt dealer which naviga-
tion systems can be used with your car
sound system.
