dwalker Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hi I have a new fiesta with the 8" sync 3 nav system Unfortunately it keeps switching to traffic announcements, for example when playing music through bluetooth. This is incredibly irritating. How do I turn it off? I have tried pressing where it says "TA" in the top left of the screen but it doesn't seem to do anything? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbean Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 As far as I am aware the only way to switch TA on or off is to have the audio set to a radio station - the TA is then shown as a big button to switch on or off. The TA at the top of the screen is only to show if it is activated or not. I had similar problem where I was playing music by bluetooth but because of the low volume transmitted I had to turn up the volume on the Sync 3 - unfortunately, every time TA cut in it was very loud. I was under the impression that if you reset the volume whilst the TA was being transmitted the Sync 3 remembered this volume setting for the next TA - unfortunately it didn't. So after a while I decided to turn off the TA and had to go through the process of changing to radio and then back to bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonson Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Am I right in saying that when a TA is playing, the 2 on screen options of Cancel and Close both do the same thing? Ie they both stop the current announcement and leave TA turned on? I would have thought that one of them is supposed to turn TA off completely. ..?

Oldbean Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Neither of those options switch off the TA option. Pressing Cancel stops the announcement and takes you back to previous screen - but leaves TA active for the next announcement. Pressing Close allows you to continue listening to the announcement but takes your screen immediately back - so you can continue to view SatNav etc. If you want to end the announcement early you can give a voice instruction e.g "play usb" or you can go to audio screen and press Browse to select input (there might be other ways but as I don't use the Close option I have not experimented). A third option to actually Switch Off the TA might have been useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmen Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 You can switch it off, basically disconnect your bluetooth, go into your sources click on radio either fm or am(depending on what ure connected with) and you will see the TA on your right side of the screen. Press on it and it will be deactivated. If the TA is activated it will look blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapea Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I could turn the TA off by clikcing radio function and then hitting the TA button. If on it comes up red in the display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
