Check the page.
Most of these navcores have not been updated for some years now - download a few and grab the mctx.dat file you require.
Regards.

Test 2 - FAILED
I managed to get tmccodes.dat and traffic.dat from Australia_835_2420 (thanks D.Sec) and mctx.dat from 9.540.2-2040-CAB-navcore-LE.cab. (thanks TomTom13E)
Overwrote tmccodes.dat and traffic.dat
Added mctx.dat and GNS folder to root of sdcard
No apparent change with no traffic bar appearing to the left when I plan a route.
I plan to try and find an older navcore (cira 2009) to use an older mctx.dat and GNS folder.
I am starting to doubt if this solution will work on the MAZDA NB1 builtin car system though. Perhaps it will only work on devices running navcore 9 or earlier?? The fact that there is no mctx.dat file or GNS folder on my original sdcard to overwrite indicates that the way TMC is configured on this system/navcore may be totally different. Comparing the root of my original sdcard to the files in 9.540.2-2040-CAB-navcore-LE.cab have allot of differences.
My original mazda Sdcard 10.854.1663560_ECR9.8-CAB-Fuji file structure looks like this:
/art
/Australia
autoplay.exe
autorun.inf
/ephem
/home images
Install TomTom HOME Mac.dmg
Install TomTom HOME.exe
/licences
/loopdir
/maps
mapshareupdate.xml
/photos
/raster
/schemes
/sounds
/statdata
/TomTom-Cfg
tomtom.ico
tthome.bif
/VAutoTTS
/voices
This is VERY different to whats in the 9.540.2-2040-CAB-navcore-LE.cab
Can anyone that is using a Mazda NB1 system and actively using TMC traffic confirm for me if they have any additional files @ the root of the SDCARD. (like mctx.dat or a GNS folder)

Test 3 - FAILED
Worked out how to find and download different NAVCORES. Tried 8.419.xl2009_live_tts.CAB-navcore-XL_LIVE
The mctx.dat and GNS folder were from 2009. Still no traffic bar or apparent change. I'm starting to think that the mctx.dat and GNS folder are irrelevant to navcore 10.854.1663560_ECR9.8-CAB-Fuji (which I am running). Hoping someone out there is running a Mazda NB1 and using RDS/TMC (in a country other than Australia) and can compare the root of their SD card to mine (listed above in previous post). If TMC is working on their system WITHOUT mctx.dat or GNS or other additional files/folder I dont have - then this may not be possible - at least this way. There is always a way :P

From the TMC wiki page: the [SUNA] broadcast is encrypted it does not work on in-car GPS navigation systems that do not have a commercial arrangement with SUNA - TT could have removed the decryption code from your present 10.854 navcore, don't know if you can downgrade to a pre 2009/10 navcore!

Nice one D.Sec. This is what a presumed to be the case. From what I had read, replacing those 5 files with pre 2009 versions got around this... As TomTom did have a commercial agreement with SUNA up until 2009. I think it would work on a device running an earlier version of navcore that uses the mctx.dat. From what I can tell, my 10.854 does not. Don't think I would risk downgrading the cars navcore- so searching for another way... Might be out of luck :/

Test 4: FAILED
Tried 7.903 and 8.010 gns folder and mctx files with tmccodes.dat and traffic.dat from 835.2420. No change, still no traffic bar.
@Fredderf - any chance of including the tmccodes.dat and traffic.dat from 7.903 and 8.010 so I have a complete matching set of TMC related files.
I think this is the last thing I can try before conceding that this will not work on navcore 10.854
I'm still sure that this is possible - but would require someone with more advanced programming knowledge to have a look at it.
