The built in bluetooth chipset happens to contain the circuitry for the FM radio, so that is probably why you see it prompting for Bluetooth when you ask it to scan for TMC hardware.
I'll save the inevitable questions about if the radio REALLY exists in hardware for your specific carrier. There are many threads about that both on here and on XDA. Long story short, if you have GSM TP2 then it probably will work with some tweaks, but nobody to my knowledge has it working on a CDMA TP2.
If for some reason, the FM radio (which BTW is the "TMC hardware" that iGO8 is looking for) can be enabled on the TP2 then you should be good to go.
Otherwise, if you simply must have traffic advisories I would recommend Garmin Mobile XT, which does a fantastic job of advising you of traffic conditions because it uses internet (3G or Wifi) to do so rather than an FM signal.
