traffic

I've just been gifted a couple of gallon of TFR for my vans and just wanted to know the best way to apply it. This might also become a good thread for others in a similar situation. Thanks in advance...:thumb:

My wife was travelling to an appointment and got caught in a traffic jam. The client rings her mobile who's expecting her. Now, my wife points people out on mobile phones who drive and berates them for it. HOWEVER, she decided to take the risk and pick up the phone. At that precise moment...

Anyone watch Traffic Cops last night? There was an interesting part where they parked up in an unmarked car, in a lay-by on a dual carriageway, and got the laser speed gun out. It was a good place to catch people they said, as it was a long, clear stretch of road. At first, I thought this...

Does anyone know how to turn off the traffic reports on Comand?, it's a 2003 W211 with DVD based Comand.

Hi there! I have a very strange and quirky problem. Upgraded my standard halogen W221 headlamps to top quality aftermarket xenon ones. No issues on the driver's side - works 100% all the time in any scenario (Auto on/off, etc). However, on the passenger side, when I drive the car for an hour...

Hi all, I have replaced my rubbish head unit to a Becker Traffic Pro 7825 that we had lying around. However I do not have the radio code as we removed it from a car a while ago now. Does anyone know where I can find this code, maybe online or is there a generic password so to speak. Obviously...

Hi I am looking to buy a Becker Traffic pro to use either in an A-class or our Porsche Boxster, will these connect to a regular fibre optic CD changer. The Mercedes has an MB changer and the Porsche is a Porsche one. From what I understand both MB APS 30 and the Porsche CD head unit use...

(Sorry - this may be a duplicate of another thread) Is there a way to regulate the volume for the TAs only? My problem is that I like to listen to my MP3 player on a journey, and this connects through the jack plug into the AUX selection on the radio. To maintain battery life, I use the MP3...

After the misery of being stuck in snow on Saturday, and realising both the Highways Agency and Met Office sites are hopeless at real time info, looking around I found the BBC traffic info site here has up to date feeds from traffic cameras all over the country, so you can check traffic...

It irritates me to the core that when i've got the sound turned right up, listening to my favourite Burt Bacharat cd, suddenly the local traffic news comes on 2 stops louder and ruins my 'lost in the music' mood. :wallbash: Could someone please tell me how to turn this off or at least make it...

Hi everyone, I'm newbie here. I came from Poland. Sorry for my English... End offtop :) I have problem with new Comand NTG2.5 euro-unit, because is not receiving messages about traffic jams when I listen to different radio station than the one who gives them. Off course receiving TA is on...

Whilst I was in slow moving traffic today some car kept staying up my backside in traffic so my park tronic sensor kept bleeping!!! how annoying!! I thought they were only meant to come on when car in reverse? (-its C320 automatic ) Dont get me wrong - it does turn off, once I go above a...

on my 1994 W124 on my trip down south recently, i noticed that the aircon stopped working on several occasions (but not always) when the car was sitting idling in traffic at eng temp ~90deg. approx 20 degrees outside. then, when i started to accelerate and reached about 40mph it started to...

Hello The instruction booklet for my Comand unit fitted to my 2003 ML270 states that I can alter the Traffic Announcement volume during a traffic bulletin by rotating the right turn/push knob. When I try this all that happens is the traffic announcement stops and the Comand unit reverts to the...

My head unit will not load the sat nav cd it just keeps saying loading cd but doesn't. I have rebooted it as instructed in the manual but makes no difference but have not disconnected it fully from the battery yet. Also when I swapped it from my last car I forgot the microphone I have used an...

I've got an audio 10 RDS with cassette deck and CD changer. The problem is that I cannot get it to play traffic bulletins. I know they only work on the FM waveband. I have the radio tuned in to several BBC local radio stations and they all have good reception. All the buttons seem to work...

PM's convoy speed was 'safest tactic' - East Anglian Daily Times:dk:

I don't use my car very often (I've done 110 miles this month) and have just discovered a potential problem. My car (CLK55 AMG 2000) when sitting it traffic for long periods of time, starts to idle roughly then sometimes stalls. It will re-start straight away and be fine. I have narrowed it...
