    I only read:

    Which means that if you have it, you can expect it to be disabled by VW during your next service.
    I'm still hoping it doesn't!

      I'll take some pics or videos of it working tonight.

      I'll also see if I can remember how I enabled it.

          Any views on this?
          Seems kinda silly...I mean the whole Discover system isn't that fantastic + they already deprived us of having the option of the Pro. Don't see why they keep taking features away for no apparent reason.

            The traffic works on my GTI, December build, I don't see how they could just turn it off at a service consumer affairs might have something to say about removing features from a car someone already owns.

              Looking at the information providers website (click link below) I doubt VW would try to charge extra for this...

                I think the updates end up wiping the key and the dealers don't know any better.

                If there are any Brisbane Mk7 owners with functioning traffic let me know, I would like to look at the settings via VCDS. That way when people lose it they can just put it back on.

                  Could it have something to do with the version of maps on the SD card? Mine came with V2

                    I don't think the SUNA license will be found in VCDS - I'd expect it to be a part of the map disc/SD card.

                    Also when reading through the other thread it sounded more like a sarcastic joke that VW would unwittingly remove the Traffic feature when in for a service, yet others are taking this as a factual experience.

                      There is a code in VCDS to set the encryption code for subscription traffic. Mine is set to "1024".

                      On the other hand, to get traffic to work make sure you enable RDS and then tick the TP or traffic option.

                        But this SUNA site makes no mention of VW that I could see. Just because some manufacturers include SUNA functionality with their satnavs doesn't mean you can expect it from VW. If it can be switched on by the VW dealer, expect to pay for the "work" of switching it on.

                          sucnip: Hi. When you refer to "TP". are your referring to the reports that should appear on the Discovery Media screen when the "Traffic" button is pressed? If so, I've been trying to activate this facility for some time (without success) on my my13 series vehicle. On 15-03-2014 (12:09 PM) I posted a few VCDS shots on the thread titled "Mk7 Golf TSI & TDI - Observations and Questions" and I asked for help in completing the process. I have copied the link below, but my VWW profile is set-up to view the latest thread page first, so I hope that the link works for you



                          Anyway, I would welcome any advice that you could provide (my suspicion is that I'm entirely on the wrong path). thanks

                              Reader0r: thanks for the correction. I think that I need to change the viewing sequence on my "Settings" to make it more compatible with those of the other folk here.
