No TP

[Ozsko]

I get a "NO TP" in the top of the media unit where all the icons are such as the BT, wireless strength etc. It goes away if the media source such as a USB stick is paused or stopped. Has anypne else noticed this or know what it means?

Traffic program.
Turn off traffic announcements or if it's possible with your discover unit you can enable it via adaptation with vcds or obd11.

I have traffic information enabled and see messages on the screen.

What is Traffic Program Please?

Maybe it knows you're out of toilet paper?

Do you get the message all the time or only outside metro area?

I haven't noticed TTTT, It happens at home which is only just outside the metro area. I am not really fussed about it, only curious about what it was.

I wonder which station you have TMC set to...maybe try setting to another station that you get good reception at home

TP (Traffic Program) is not used in Australia. In Germany radio stations are required by law to announce traffic conditions at regular intervals. If TP is switched on, the radio will switch to TP settings when the radio station sends out a signal indicating that a traffic announcement is about to come on. With this feature, you could have the radio set to MUTE or have the volume low but when the radio receives the traffic signal, the volume is raised to a preset level so you can listen to the announcement. Even if you’re listening to a cd or other media, once the radio receives the TP signal, it will switch to that station and set the pre-programmed volume. Once the announcement is over, the radio will switch back to your previous station or music source. Like I said, not used in OZ so you can switch it off in settings. It has nothing to do with TMC either, it’s a completely different system.

OK, confusion clears and I have TMC activated, TP I know nothing about or didn't until now. I just went out to the car and yes it had been activated sometime in the past. Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I think I know how it happened. This is from the AutoInstruct page for enabling TMC

Select Control Unit 5F (Information Electrical)
Adaptations
Change Fee Based Traffic Information (TMC) value to ‘1024’
Next, in the normal radio settings, enable ‘Traffic Programme (TP)’ and RDS

Yes, Rooboy is correct in saying that if you do enable TMC, you also must enable TP in the normal car settings. If you don't enable TMC, you can leave TP switched off as it has no functionality in Australia.

Are you sure that these have no function in Aus or just that VW does not pay SUMA a subscription per vehicle?

The reason I ask this is that I also have a Touareg and if you tell the car that it has the Audi radio ( both identical but called differently) then these do work perfectly

I am waiting for my 2018 delivery of. Tiguan Highline at the end of this month so cannot check

It definitely works!

Correct, VW in OZ don’t pay SUMA hence it’s not enabled. Maybe this has changed now but I also just bought a GOLF R-LINE 7.5 and it too doesn’t have TMC enabled... well, it has now...
However, for the NORMAL VW owner out there, TP has no functionality in OZ.

Confusion has returned so let me outline what I understand, not much! TMC was enabled and a long time after I noticed the TP/NO TP message in the header bar. When media is playing from the USB and I presume the SD cards but I haven't checked that NO TP is displayed, if I stop the media then I see TP. I have noticed this in near metro areas and also in rural areas.

Yesterday after being made aware of what it is all about I went into settings and unticked TP to disable it and I haven't driven the car since but it went away as I presume it should. I have not checked TMC to see if it still works and I will do that tomorrow. Is this the expected behaviour?
