Technical TMC code

[Stilo owl]

I am new to Stilo ownership, so looked around for like minded people and found this forum.
I am having trouble with the radio, it shows TMC on display. I have discovered removing fuse F39 for a few minutes can rectify this but switching off and on ignition it reverts to TMC.
Any ideas?

Hi, Welcome to the FF.

TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a system whereby you can receive traffic information from radio stations in your vicinity. There should be a function on the radio to switch it off.

Well the button bashing did not work, I switched the TA off and no joy. While the TMC code is showing it plays the radio quietly and driving home tonight it suddenly switched over from TMC to the radio. Any other suggestions please

You say "button bashing" do you have the manual for the radio or was it guess work?

Which radio is it?

Dave.

I have the manual so followed that for the TA traffic setting. It is a visteon with CD but not MP3

I'm experiencing the same problem. Have you fixed this yet?

It's easily turned ON/OFF from within the radio Menu

I'm not talking about turning TA off, but about turning TMC off. I can't use the radio in any way. I can only adjust volume settings. (so no CD, Radio, Menu etc.)

When I got in my car today everything was working fine again!

Never did sort it, bought usb radio and fitting kit cheap from e-bay.
Is yours still working?
