traffic reports on our nav?

let me repost this in the correct section:

I saw this little snippet in a magazine about NavTraffic being super cool. Apparently, Navteq and XM have teamed up to provide traffic updates through certain navigation systems.

Do you think there's a way to get it to work with our stock navigation systems?

For more info:

Hmm, you would probably have to send the hardware in for an upgrade to accomidate the xm radio-nav connection. It would probably have to be sent back to the factory, as you would need both new hardware and software.

Looks cool, but in my small city I doubt any of those features would be available

that would be a damn shame. i'd pay 4 extra bucks per month to get traffic piped into my nav. maybe we can hope that the aftermarket can help us.
