I have had my MG4 for a couple of weeks and so far am loving it, except.....
On my MG5 I could get traffic announcements - you know - the messages from various BBC local radio stations about traffic issues in the local area, as you travel about the country, but so far I have failed to get these on my MG4. The SatNav "Traffic on " setting is fine, and the Map shows road works, hold ups etc, but the radio settings don't seem to be working.
I have worked through the radio settings and have the following set. I don't know what some of them do...
for DAB
Service Following is ON (What does this mean?)
News, Travel, Radio Info, Warning,Traffic, Alarm are all ON (What is the difference between "Travel" and "Traffic"? What is "Radio Info", What are the "Warning" and "Alarm" mentioned here?)
Weather, Sports, Finance, Special are all OFF
for FM
All settings are ON. (What do DX and RDS Regional mean?)
I am puzzled as to why I am not getting the traffic announcements as I can't see any other settings. Is there a volume setting somewhere that I am missing? The radio works fine, but I just don't get the traffic announcemnets. They would have been useful the other day as my journey from Worcester back home encountered some significant delays which I could easily have avoided had I known about the roadworks.
Any thoughts are welcome, if necessary I will take a trip back to the dealer, but I am not sure that they would be any wiser than me!
TIA

PS The manuals don't seem to have any information on this.
