How to turn off traffic announcement mid bulletin?

BanziBarn · 04-02-2010, 03:47 AM

What I want is to be able to have the TA activated, but during the announcement, if it finishes but they forget to turn if of at their end, to be able to go back to my music without actually turning the TA off in the menu.

On my previous cars, they've had a TA button which you can press to stop the announcement but while keeping the function on for the next bulletin.

Anyone know how to do it?

Thanks

I find just pressing the Source button the wheel does it without cancelling the automatic function

I just use the track/station selector (on the right of the steering wheel)

Did a long journey yesterday and it's works, so that's good.

One annoying side effect though - random play turns off every time. In fact, random play seems to have no memory, you have to reselect it every time you turn the car on or change source.

Also, when you reselect it, it changes track straight away, which is a pain if you happened to be really enjoying the track!
