I do think the Touch HD has RDS (like the other HTC devices with FM). This does not mean that it receives TMC or that iGo can read TMC info. Hence my question...
We will see it ... at by next IGO version

I dont know how to test it, but according to this website it does. I am running IGO8 and it found a TMC receiver, but it says No TMC signal. I have not tried to fix that yet as I got the phone a couple of days ago. I am still playing with itI do think the Touch HD has RDS (like the other HTC devices with FM).

the pdadb.net site is the only one stating it has RDS and I think they are wrong.
HTC states on their website when a product supports RDS, like here:
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/touchdiamond/specification.html
On the specification page of Touch HD, RDS is missing.
This is consistent with the FM Radio software on the HD. When I start it there is NO RDS information at all.
I guess iGO just detects the FM radio, and this is why it THINKS that it could have TMC.
Hello,
that is a wrong link from HTC Diamond, the right link from HD Touch is hier and with FM-radio:
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/touchhd/specification.html
It seems unlikely that the HD hardware doesn't support RDS if the Diamond does. Maybe we just have to wait for a ROM upgrade. They may have left some goodies out just to get the thing to market before the iPhone rules the planet!Please read again carefully. I never said the Touch HD has NO Radio.
Diamond has RDS, Touch HD has not. Thus there will be no TMC.
Would you share a picture of it with us?
Unfortunatelly there is not RDS channel in our town, but IGO found TMC receiver hardware.
