I probably do, but don't know which one you refer to, TI button?

I'm keeping the function ambigious until I see how many people know what it does, where it sits and then how useful it is/can be... :D I use mine everyday... and my A2 does it twice a day for me - every day of the year regardless of me being in it or not...

I use it quite often - BBC Radio Devon's travel guy has a rather thick accent - it often helps us grockles in understanding exactly what he's trying to say... :D

Ahh, if it's what I think you mean I don't use it very often at all. I only have to travel about 2 miles to work so don't really need it. I like surprises!

Are you talking about the little button on the right hand side of the stereo?. If you are then ive used it twice.

If i remember correctly from the manual (someone actually read it [:0] ) press it once to turn on the travel info and again to listen to previous reports it remembered while you've been away from the car - all very clever.
Never acually used that function ourselves [V]

Methinks you mean the recorder function, so most mornings and evenings

Yip... you set two times from which it records all traffic announcements from the station it is tuned to for two hours. It also records during these two hours if you're driving and in the car... so if you want to listen to a report again that just aired, you press TI (TImer) and it plays it again for you... Mine is set from 6:30 and then from 17:00... so the first thing I do when getting into the car is press it and get the latest traffic news...
Not of much use I agree if you just travel same route every day and only a few miles. But if you do a lot of miles like me - 50 there and 50 back - and the M25 or M23 gets clogged up I have numerous alternative country blasts to do... BUT you need warning beforehand to get off quick enough...
I also love the fact that my car is doing something and recording things for me when I'm not even in/near it! :D No if only I can record my own reminders that get played back to me as I stop at home - like some Merc radios do...

Very useful except for the M1 between Sheffield and Leeds in morning rush hour. With Radio Sheffield, Leeds, York, Humberside, Nottingham, Derby, Ram FM, Hallam FM, Viking FM, and a few more I don't rememeber all you do is listen to travel news - CD player is redundant!
