I apologise if this has been asked before, but I honestly couldn't find much help thru google. I did see some other people asking about similar "TP SEEK" problems in other cars, none Prius. What do all those short forms mean? Is there a manual for the radio? "TP" = Traffic Program? But what's that? "AST"? "REG"? "PTY"? "AF"? Presently, whenever I use the FM radio, it works normally for about 20 seconds, then it beeps and scans for some other channels, and the screen shows a blinking "TP SEEK". I don't know what all this means. Is it in some kind of auto-tune-to-radio-stations mode? Does the radio think that a button (physical/screen) is being pressed? I have tried pressing the PTY, AF, AST, buttons haphazardly, but can't seem to turn off the "TP SEEK". Surprised to see no other mention of this problem. Mine is a 2006 Prius, base package, South-East Asia. Do most 2006 owners here have the same radio? Thanks in advance!
Here's a four-year-old post on a Lexus forum, with some explanation of what they mean. But I would still like to know what I should do to turn off all these things, I only need to listen to FM stations that I have in the presets.
