Volkswagen radios - John Holden
Does anyone know how to turn the traffic announcements on / off on a VW Gamma or Beta radio ? I know that you can kill the announcement after it's started by hitting the TP button but how do I turn them on / off permanently ? The manual says you can do it and then changes the subject.
Thanks,
John

Have you tried holding the TP button down for about 3 secs?

On my VW Gamma radio you have 3 FM channels and a TP channel. If you don't want Traffic announcements you change to one of the FM channels.

To refine this answer further, when you change channel, the TP is switched off. When on a FM channel and the TP button is hit, the traffic announcements will remain set until you change channel again. ('97 Gamma)
