In November 2003 ITIS announced that Lexus GB had standardised its RDS-TMC (Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel) service commencing with the LS430 model.
| Branded as "ETA", (Electronic Traffic Avoidance), the service allows drivers to receive real-time traffic information from ITIS on their satellite navigation systems enabling them to avoid and re-route around traffic congestion on the strategic UK road network. ITIS traffic information combines journalistic traffic information and Floating Vehicle Data (FVD®) which is then broadcast using FM bandwidth licensed exclusively to ITIS by the Radio Authority until 2012. |

Stuart Marks, Chief Executive of ITIS, commented:
"We are delighted that Lexus has decided to standardise our RDS-TMC with our dynamic traffic information. The addition of the service offers clear benefits to drivers with satellite navigation equipped vehicles and further endorses TMC as the only choice for vehicle manufacturers who wish to offer real-time traffic information and dynamic re-routing."
