I raised this issue some time ago but have so far not had any response......
The SatNav stopped working, and the traffic announcements have never worked since I bought the car (May this year) so I took the car into the dealership for a reset. They fixed the SatNav, and claimed to have fixed the traffic announcements, but they haven't. I am still not getting any traffic announcements - you know the thing - BBC local radio announcements that interrupt what you are listening to about every 30 minutes or so to advise on the local road and other travel problems as you drive around the country.
In the DAB radio settings I have "Service following" and both "Travel" and "Traffic" selected with all other options off (If anyone can tell me the difference between these 2 settings I would be very grateful - the dealership don't know!)
In the FM radio settings I have all 4 options selected.
However - no sign of any announcements. The dealership muttered something about setting some security codes (having claimed to have sorted them), so I didn't pursue it when I collected the car, but I am still puzzling as clearly they have achieved nothing.
I am sure that there are members of this forum who know much more about this than I and the dealership know, and if so I would welcome some ideas. I will shortly be taking a trip to Devon, and if they are still not working on this trip I will be going back to the dealership. This is just about the only feature of the car that really irritates me!
Any help to sort this would be most welcome
TIA
