Traffic Announcements DAB & FM
I live in an area that contains 5 county boundaries. On my last cars; V50 & V40; I used to get a fairly steady stream of announcements from the closest areas.
Due to lockdown I wasn’t out much when I first got the XC40 but now I’m driving more I have noticed that the traffic reports have disappeared. I have gone through the settings, ticked all the boxes, no change. Unticked all the boxes and restarted and then shutdown and ticked them all again. Still all quiet out there. Has anyone else noticed anything similar or do you have any suggestions? Exmpa |

I’m starting to feel like the Captain of the USN Nimitz in The Final Countdown, the electromagnetic spectrum is nearly dead!

RDS Traffic Announcements
The car has now been for its 1st service and I mentioned the lack of local traffic announcements when I booked it in. A week later I made a longish journey and, you guessed it, no traffic news.
I have checked and rechecked the settings and all the boxes and all the appropriate boxes in the Select Announcements menu and sub-menus are ticked. Dealership is out of ideas, especially as everything else works normally. There are no complications with Apple Car Play as I don’t have it, this is plain straightforward FM and DAB. The lack of traffic news isn’t the 3nd of the world, but I’m at a loss to understand why I’m not receiving it. Exmpa |

It’s a straightforward priority override, choose what you want to hear as an override on the main menu, then refine your choices on the FM and DAB options. All the boxes are ticked on all 3 menus. Exmpa |

It's Ironic that volvo were first to use RDS back in 1984 :-)
