So I saw on one of the posts for the 2011's that no one could find any reference to the FM Traffic option in the Canadian models for the nav system.
I gave up trying to get an answer through Honda's customer assistance phone line after being transferred all over the place, and 4 days later got a response to an email query.
Canadian models do not have FM Traffic capability, just the US models. That seems bizarre to me, I can't believe they'd have a separate nav module for the Canadian and US spec models. I appreciate the service is only available in a few larger Canadian cities at the moment, but I do travel frequently to the US and would have appreciated the option, especially considering Honda is making me pay several thousand dollars more for my "Canadian spec" Odyssey that it seems they've removed features from. Also... how about future proofing my model Honda, if the rationale was limited availabilty in Canada at present, how about assuming the new technology will continue to be adopted?
Makes me start wondering how may other things may have been removed. We pick up our Touring end of next week, but so far very disappointed with Honda's customer service response delays, and miffed that they are leaving out features available in the US models. Maybe they think giving us the free front mudguards makes up for the FM Traffic?
