    In the 458 I had two separate Sirius XM ids for Traffic and Radio, which was great as I only wanted to subscribe to the traffic service.

    On the 488 Pista I can't find a traffic ID, and the Sirius XM website just gives me one ID for my VIN. It only gives me the option to sign up for Music. Were both services combined into an all-in-one radio and service, or does the 488 Pista not come with traffic radios by default?

    Sorry for the boring topic...

    I never found the Radio/Nav combo to be user friendly. I only have one ID for both. Although I have not fiddled with the traffic function. I just find it quicker to use my iPhone for such a purpose. I would imagine the application for any 488 would be the same.

    I guess what I'm wondering is if signing up for the radio service will get me realtime traffic on the 488. The Sirius site is making no mention of traffic at all for my VIN - it just tries to sell me radio. It's a very different experience from the 458.

    No doubt the traffic data and interface in general on the car isn't that good, but I really try not to mess with my phone when I'm driving and we get enough random traffic jams in my area that it'd be nice if it just showed up on the in car NAV.
