07 MC Radio Traffic Announcement

Antz4 · 08-22-2012, 03:39 AM

Hey guys,

I've got a 07 M Coupe with Nav.

She has just come back from her 40,000 km service, but the dealership seems to have reset some settings on my radio. How do I get rid of the Traffic Announcement setting (Says TP)? I hate my music getting interrupted by a traffic update broadcast?

I'm also not sure which model of sound system I have as I bought this second hand and the car came without any user manuals. I've been trying to find the manual for the radio on the net but with no luck.

Can anyone help with locating the Radio Owner's user manual or let me know how to change the TP setting?

Thanks in advance!

(I've tried a search. btw)

I have no idea! But I'd like to know, since if US spec cars have this feature, it would be nice to be able to both turn on and off!

Is it this? I get to it by pressing the right knob while in NAV Map mode.
And, no. Unfortunately this feature doesn't work in the U.S.
And why does mine think the entire Chino valley is a borough of Ontario?
(California, not Canada).
HeHe, and I apparently sunk 20 feet into my driveway while taking the pictures.

Thanks for your responses.

No Stickmon, it's not that. That's on the Nav console.

I'm trying to post a pic but something not allowing me to do so. It is something to do with the radio. If a radio station is broadcasting a traffic announcement, this tunes automatically to that station.

It's very annoying.

EDIT. Pic posted below - It's the TP sign above "P3"... I'm in South Africa btw - hence the names of the different radio stations might seem a bit weird to you guys.

Ok, I've managed to find the answer. Whilst in Radio mode, press the info button twice and it removes the "TP" sign.

Anyone got a link for the radio manual?
