VW says that the SiriusXM Traffic subscription will come standard on vehicles optioned up with its RNS 510 and RNS 850 navigation head units. The RNS 510 unit is available on a variety of VW products, while the RNS 850 is exclusive to the range-topping Touareg. SiriusXM Traffic can display current road conditions, including speed flow information, and it displays accident and road closure updates. The service works with VW's navigation to redirect vehicles if it senses road closures or heavy traffic conditions on a pre-selected route.
RNS 510-equipped VWs also include a three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM's Travel Link, which adds information like nearby fuel prices and weather forecasts. All SiriusXM-optioned VWs will continue to come with a three-month satellite audio package.
