Default Traffic master

Hi! I was just checking the fuses in my 2000 4.0 S type (three boxes, the one inside passenger compartment almost impossible to reach in for a6'1" guy like myself) and I found, in the trunk fuse box, one 5 amp fuse (No. 10)dedicated to the circuit "Traffic master". What is this for?The fuses were all in good shape, by the way

Maybe a foreign option. Never heard of it.

I did some research on this today. Always bothers me to not know something. Traffic master was part of the navigation system basically to reroute you. However was never released. This is what I found in the wiring diagram: Traffic Master System will not be made available.
Wiring and connectors will be deleted as a model year running change.

I really thank you and your investigative nature! I guess I have another spare fuse in that box, then. Thanks a lot, again.

Maybe a UK thing, I think Trafficmaster is the name for a system of monitoring cameras which checks traffic flows etc.

Google reveals this http://www.trafficmaster.co.uk/home.php

That looks like it Norri. However Jag decided not to put it in the cars. Basically tied in with Nav to reroute automatically based on traffic conditions. Shame really. Would be a good feature.
