No Traffic reports?

[adethebuilder]

I have traffic reports selected on but in the two months I have had the car I have only had one report? My BMW reports them all the time. My Tesla retail shop (Cambridge) said you have to have the radio screen showing to get them but that does not seem to make any difference. I use DAB rather than FM - does that make a difference? Should I be able to to listen to Spotify and still get reports?

Many thanks in advance.

I think it does. Traffic reports certainly work but if I recall correctly only when on FM.

I was listening on FM yesterday and got dozens. Don’t normally get them listening on Spotify or USB

I have them turned on (and do listen to FM mostly ...) but I find they interrupt whatever else I was listening too (obviously ... !!) so now I come to think of it I press CANCEL each time they come up and should really turn them off altogether.

I sue Waze for navigation, and it will have routed me around any problem by the time I hear it on the radio ... so perhaps Traffic Reports is a solution to yesteryear problem?

Thanks to all! I have used FM for Radio 2 today rather than DAB and got all my reports!

Good point WannabeOwner - perhaps I don't need the reports anymore?

Ah! the weight of all these decisions imposed on one by 1st world problems ...

Hi all. I too would like some help withh traffic reports. i have them switched on on an fm station and when one come through then the blue box appears on the radio screen and if I have the radio muted then I have to use the steering wheel button to up the volume. Problem is the radio screen must be showing. Is there any way of setting a separate volume for traffic so that it plays automatically like other cars? Again thanks in advance.
