Any way to get traffic on my 6200 in the United States

Hi, all.
I replaced my old TomTom with a GO 6200 some years ago and it's still a pleasure to use.
It has free maps and free traffic for life - in Europe. I live near San Francisco.
It seemed the problem is that the WiFi SIM is only for Europe. So I thought instead, maybe I could feed traffic to the 6200 from my cellphone, via Bluetooth.
The two are paired; I've enabled "Data for Traffic & other services" in the 6200's Bluetooth settings for my phone; I've connected the 6200 to MyDrive on my cellphone (where I can see the current traffic conditions).
Still, the two-car icon has the little X next to it.
Is there any way to get this setup to work? I have the old traffic antenna but it's not nearly as accurate as the data TomTom has.
Thanks for any help!

Contact Customer Support and tell them you have moved to the USA and ask if they can change the Settings at their end to Traffic in USA instead of Europe.
