Glennc91 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I accidentally hit one of the stereo buttons on the left of my steering wheel. now the stereo has a mind of its own and is getting above its station! (like what ive done there?) every now and again the volume cranks itself to a million and some posh radio 4 voice starts telling me the news in longer words than i care to use/understand. The display comes up with 'NEWS' much like the traffic announcement function. I have checked the owners manual to try and decipher how to turn this stupid function off but its a little over complicated. can anyone tell me a simple way to remove radio 4 from my life once again?? thanks in advance boys!

Andy Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I can't remember on the oem unit but it is normally a buttom with TMC or TC on it for the traffic control. P.S. Like what you did with the station thing Quote

Don't worry, as you get older Radio 4 will grow on you... I'm on the lookout for a radio that has just ON/OFF, Radio 2 and Radio 4 buttons. Also a Zed cardigan... S. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 left hand side can't remember the name but if you press it a couple of time syou'll see news flash up. press it again and the function will turn off Quote
350zStephen Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 I read this when I was in work earlier, and giggled away to myself because I had the exact same problem when I first got my zed and I remember how annoying it was. Then driving down the motorway on the way home from work, the ****ing news came on 3 times in a row. Arghhhhhh LOL Quote
Glennc91 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 left hand button on the stereo or the steering wheel? the steering wheel is how i turned the bugger on i think... over the weekend with the sun shining it seemed like less of a problem, but when im on my way into work after scraping the windscreen, freezing and late, it makes me want to put my size 9 through it!

mc Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 can't remember without looking at the radio, but its EON or PTY that you need to get rid of from the display I think! Quote
zDan Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 It's PTY (program type). Just make sure the "PTY" letters don't appear on the screen. Or check the manual Quote
Glennc91 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 YESSSS! I, the driver, once again am in control of whether i listen to the frigging news! thankyou zDan you magnificent man! and have you seen what it says in the manual?? youd think they would just write what you did, but nooooooo.... Quote
