Nav / Tech question

[OldSchoolDropout]

Anybody figured out the Weather or Check Gas Prices options on the Navigation menu? I know most of you probably just use your smart phones. On my Explorer SYNC system I have these services but I have to pay a bit extra to Sirius to get it (Travel Link). Didn't know if it was the same setup.

I originally thought this used Sirius NavTraffic services, but it turns out it will use an internet-based setup when the Windows toolbox is complete.

Fuel and weather works with a tethered phone. Havent gotten traffic to work yet but I havent really had the chance to fiddle with it.

Works when wifi is on (connected to a wifi AP, could be your phone). I'm not sure how/if that works through the bluetooth connection

Just got car "flashed" to version 20.something and they both work when tethered. You must be stopped though. Jeez us they might as well just turn off the screen completely when you're going - find myself slamming brakes for yellow lights and praying it stays red for awhile so I can use anything on the system. I should start a thread about this...
