I wondered why TIM was not recording

[900000]

On my Audi TIM was set to record traffic updates in the morning and in the afternoon. It always did this regardless of the TP setting. I set the same times in the Yeti and yet there never was any recordings to listen to when I returned to the car and pressed the TIM button. Until this recent trip to Scotland when I selected TP to be on! When I switched off the car I got this message:

How peculiar. I HATE the TP intrusions over my music but would like TIM to record stuff for me to listen to when I want it. Is there a way or is it only possible with TP on?

What does TIM stand for? (and dare I ask what it is or does)and have I got it? (I suspect I haven't ...it's an SE) I don't think I have the phone thingy either despite it being referred to on a button on the dash.

When I were a lad...(in a broad Yorkshire accent) TIM meant the speaking clock on the new fangled GPO electric telephone.

TIM = Traffic information .... something or other. (Monitor?) Hey, we had Tim the speaking clock in Norfolk too!

Personally I never use it 'cos my Tom Tom gives me up to the minute traffic info.

Hehehe. It is the top right button (below Eject) on a Bolero labeled TIM.

And from the Bolero radio manual:

TIM function (Traffic Information Memory) recorded traffic announcements can be replayed. After entering up to two different TIM recording times in the SETUP Setup, a recording of the traffic announcements is also possible if the unit is switched off.

Oh, so I might have it then. I'm going through the manual(s) in bed by way of night time reading. Trouble is I read about a page and a half and I'm gone and snoring.

I'm sure I managed to configure mine to do that but blowed if I can remember how. I'll have a think about it when I've got the Bolero in front of me later this evening.
