The SatRadio mode described below requires optional satellite radio equipment and a subscription to SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Service. Further details on SatRadio are available in the "SatRadio" section.

COMAND can receive traffic reports via SatRadio and incorporate them in the navigation system. Traffic messages and map symbols can then be shown in the COMAND display.

COMAND uses high quality traffic data.

Nevertheless, there may be differences between the traffic reports received and the actual road and traffic conditions.
