I'll try to explain what happens as best as I can...

I like the travel news to come on as I am travelling around. This is all fine and good until someone decides to use the radio. Once the radio has been activated, I find it impossible to get back to the travel news coming on automatically without the radio continuing.

What happens then (after the radio has been activated and has now been turned off on the power button) is this:
Driving along, the visual black travel news box will come up on the sat nav. (sat nav is not set by the way, just visuals). Usually, all being fine, I would start to hear the report. However, at this point it is not audible. I have to twiddle the volume in order to hear it (even if the volume bars are lit up to indicate there is volume there already).
I can now hear the travel report. However, when the said travel report has finished, the radio continues. I cannot turn this off by pressing exit on the steering column as I would usually. I have to press the power button on the dash board once to turn it off and get back to sat nav. When the next set of travel news commences, I have to do this dance all over again... not good if you are driving and have half an eye on the dashboard.

I am sure it is simply a sequence of buttons or something which needs to be pressed as I have solved it once before. Be a shame if I can't listen to radio because I'm scared it will knock the travel news out...

Thanks.

Firstly there are different volume levels for radio and traffic news and parking sensors etc you can alter each in the settings menu . Are you saying that when FM radio is on you do get traffic messages but they do not revert to the station you were listening to when the traffic news finishes ? Perhaps it is just a matter of getting the traffic news volume level higher ..?
wonderful book shop by the way , i have bought 2 books from you :-)
