Car Preferences in TT menus

[jpg1]

Hi there,

Does anyone know what the function of the "Car Preferences" section is in the menus of the TT GO PNDs? I have a Go 530 and this icon is always greyed out when I'm going through the options. I have the full menu displays active, so I can always see it, but I can't select it.

The user manual says :-

Tap this button to change the way your GO responds to events in your car.

• Link night view to headlights
• Instructions mute car radio

Does anyone use this, or does it even work?

Cheers,

J-P

That's been there forever in applications for all models. And always greyed out.

The idea was that the functionality would be implemented for hard wired models and control lights, etc. I believe I saw a long time ago one poster having some model where it worked but, basically, the icon shouldn't even be there........

Don't worry about it.

Thanks David.

So it's another one of TT's bright ideas that went slightly wrong along the way....!!

What amazes me is their inability to get the bluetooth stuff right. It works so well in most other devices that it has really now become a blight on their engineering.

I even have a box with the car-kit in it. It came very close to a product but never actually made it to market.

A real shame as it could have been very good (and still would) based as it was on BT.
