No traffic news.

I don't seem to be getting any traffic updates on my radio. TA is on but nothing comes through. (TA shows on the display). Radio is on DAB1. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

I believe traffic news is broadcast over FM - ClassicFM to be precise in the UK, do you have reception in your area?

Or, perhaps there is "No News" Smile

On my non dab radio you need to be on FM and have pressed info so that the display show TA and TP.

I have the TP and TA showing when using DAB. The TP means the station carries Traffic News, and Mrs McSimmo who uses a DAB radio in her car gets traffic alerts, its very confusing for a simple old man like me. Big Cry Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

From memory, there's a button on the screen that says something like "link DAB FM". You need to have this ON, so that the FM traffic reports will come up when you are listening to DAB. At least that's how I understand it. Do you get traffic reports when listening to FM? If so, this is probably your problem! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

I am more confused than ever, as on Saturday, the Traffic news feed started again for no reason on the DAB setting.

Sadly I have the pauper radio, so don't have that display. I'm now loath to mess with any setting in case I loose the traffic updates again. Rolling Eyes Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

Do not forget that the radio station broadcasting has to remember to add the TA signal to the broadcast, if they forget (which all to commonly they do) then the TA will not trigger at your end.

the problem with TA is that the information is normally out of date/time

YOu drive down a motorway and the radio blips up about a jam, just as you pass the junction you could have divereted onto, you continue and you have a 50:50 chance of hitting the jam or the jam not been there anymore

or more commonly the TA anoucment comes on when you have been sat still for 30mins, like you didn't realise it was jammed up

waste of space and time, just like the satnav traffic avoiding setting as they use the same information Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
