Traffic Info Activation

**aslsw** · 05-01-2016, 09:49 AM

My son started his first day as an apprentice at Lennock yesterday. He knows I wanted to activate traffic info on my car and must have asked someone, because at the end of his day he told me that it voids the warranty. Apparently, traffic info is "illegal" (his word, not sure what law it breaks) in Australia which is why the car comes with it inactive by default. It would be interesting to know the thinking behind this.

Voids warranty? Illegal?

Sounds like the sort of crap one often hears coming from dealerships, don't know the answer so they make one up.

I'm on the northern beaches and have VCDS HEX CAN cable. Ive done a couple of mods to mine, enabling the key and button to shut the tailgate for instance as well as traffic info. All care, no responsibility, but happy to do it.

Well it's illegal for Skoda to sell it enabled, because they haven't paid Suna to use it.

Northern beaches as well. Done it on mine. Want to enable map zoom permanently but I don't have VAG can pro.

Just to clarify this will only work on MY16-onwards cars? I have MY15 RS.
