Just got the i3 but am struggling with the iDrive. How the fk does one turn off the TP function on the radio. I've been through everything but can't seem to turn if off. No matter what I'm listening to I get local radio traffic bulletins cutting in.
Also, the music keeps playing until I lock the car, which is odd.
Thanks in advance.

Phil.

the playing music bit is easy - let go of the brake pedal after you've turned the 'engine' off and press the start/stop button again.

for i drive, (i'm guessing here)get into radio and press the options button behind the idrive controller - there are usually lots op options in there to play with

Tried that already, can't see anything that even remotely suggests I can turn off radio local traffic.

It is not in the idrive it is on the console by the radio - let me find a picture on the web and I will attach it

Also are you aware that you can push the radio Knob - the only twirly know on the radio and it will mute the radio - Effectively turning it off (Yes I know it does not but it turns the speakers off)
