Why is there a traffic info option on the setup screen, that I can not access?

It is there, try the I-Drive Main Menu, Communications Settings/BMW Service, and you will see a Traffic Info Option unchecked.

I am curious, also :'(

I believe this is the answer to the Traffic Info question. Once you activate this feature in BMW Assist, then they turn on the feature and the box will appear with a check mark. As stated in the brochure, the first time is free, and after that they bill your credit card $4.95 for each inquiry.

$4.95 for each use?

Too pricey for me man.

I'd rather listen to CBS880 or 1010WINS.

That's the BMW Assist. Over here it's called VI+ and is included in the annual fee. No extra charge in Germany.
