United-Kingdom Problem trying to adjust Radio Traffic Volume

I seem to have a problem trying to get the Radio Traffic Volume to adjust correctly (on the CD Boost HU with HK). I have turned the volume setting down to -6 but it still does not seem to turm down when a Traffic warnig starts and blares out about twice as load as the normal program. Does anyone have any idea what to do or what the problem is.
Regards John

In my Dad's 3-series it also pumps up the volume for the traffic programme. I think it is deliberate to draw your attention to the fact that the traffic programme is interrupting what you are listening to (and it evidently works!).

I think the logic is that if you are just listening to the radio/CD etc and the traffic thing comes on at the same volume you may not realise and pay any attention.

Just my 2p.

Yes I have this Problem and its annoying-On my Prev Blaupunkt I have had_I were able to turn the TA volume down-and now you can't do it on a system that is worth twice as much?
