Every capital city has the data transmitted, so it will work in Perth.

Activate anywhere, just need VCDS to change settings.

Hi there. New owner and just loving the car. Know of anyone in Sydney that can do this? And disable the stop/start rubbish?

EDIT: Found a specialist VW mechanic in Canberra who is happy to enable the traffic info for me. Just asked me to provide the coding for it. Anyone point me in the right direction? Been Googling but no luck so far. Car is Octavia RS MY16.

Are there any other settings that I should be looking at having enabled at the same time as the traffic? Like speed limits etc.. coming up?

EDIT2: Found this over in the VCDS (VAG-COM) coding for MK7 golf. 5.1 Traffic Information
5F-Adaption, Follow the screen shot. and you have to make sure RDS and TP is enabled in the settings and wait for about 40mins. The traffic report will start come.

Is it the same for the Octavia RS?

When i did a MY16 car I found that you had to go into the radio settings and make sure that "TP" was unchecked, then make the update the fee based traffic information fro 0 to 1024, then turn back on the TP setting

Hi mate, I have the same car.

Traffic was a good activation. Also recommend activating Boot closing from key/inside car.

Requested my dealer activate traffic info, disable the sound generator and enable the lap timer/stopwatch. He said the guys down at the workshop were happy to give it a go, I sent through what I could find instruction wise, though a lot of it was the ross-tech stuff rather then the official VAGCOM/VCDS stuff. Hopefully they can work it all out for me! Fingers crossed otherwise I'll just take it to the local VW mechanic here to get it done after I get it.
