After using the empeg in the car for a few weeks, I must say the TA works very well. I agree however with you that the option to skip a TA should be very welcome.

I still have not discovered whether of not the unit should switch back automatically to player mode once the Traffic Announcement is over. Anyone experience with this (is this a bug in my setup, a missing feature, or a typical rt*m issue)? Until now, I'm using Hijack, which needs two knob presses to get back to player mode (tuner-->aux-->player). Is it possible to disable AUX completely (using config)?
