Funny enough, I noticed tonight that my Sirius traffic data is no longer coming in either - I will have to see what they say when I give them a call.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I am confused.

Just got an S5 cab. Has three months of free Sirius.

I see the traffic lines on the map. I see "slow traffic" notes during my navigation route guidance.

I drove into work today and it would not redirect me in real-time based on traffic conditions. It set a route at the start and it kept to that route, regardless of the amount of RED there was. I know there were better options because I have Sirius Traffic in my 2010 Wrangler Navigation and it redirects me "due to traffic conditions". In fact it redirects me often.

Does the Audi MMI have this capability? I have my route set to DYNAMIC. TIA.

DjPiLL, if you have your route set to dynamic, it should re-route you around if the alternate routes are faster. Meaning, even in the alternate routes don't have traffic, the faster way to your destination could still be through traffic. I believe that the nav system takes into consideration the speed at which traffic is moving, and for how long. That's what I noticed from my car on some recent trips I took to the D.C. metro.

Default One ESN or two?

Are you absolutely sure it's a separate ESN? I am having epic difficulties with Sirius right now; they can't seem to add my traffic service back on after accidentally turning it off.

My 2011 Q5 Prestige definitely shows the EXACT SAME electronic serial number for Radio and Data. I have double and triple-checked this... even after an MMI reset, it shows as the same ESN.
