Does anybody know why the DAB radio logos show for all stations in Germany but not the UK.
Are they pre loaded onto the unit or is it to do with the way the UK and Germany broadcast.
It was pretty cool to see it working in Germany with the logos and slide shows.
Also is there any other way of assigning logos to channels other than downloading from the web, putting on an SD and assigning individually? This will need constant updating and will be a real pain.
-
I'm not sure mate, but why would they need constant updating? How many unique radio stations do you listen to, and how often do they change their logos?! I'll just be updating logos for the ones that ever get listened to in our car, which can be counted on one hand with room to spare!

German Volkswagen website has a for you can download then sick onto an SD card. you then upload them to the unit and that's it.
-
Yes, I've done that and it is a pain as you have to assign to every station individually.
Any new stations that come along will also need to be done this way.
The logos are very basic compared with the German ones and there is no slide show.
Main question is though why do all DAB logos display in Germany and not the UK?
-
do they use dab +in Germany? do all the stations automatically broadcast the station logo in Germany? it's a bit disappointing that an up to date media unit from vw can't automatically show a logo from a broadcasting station when the rns510 dab I had did!
-
After a little investigation...
Some UK DAB stations broadcast a logo - most don't.
If you see a 'loading' ( rotating circular arrows) then that particular station is broadcasting a logo otherwise you just see the standard DAB logo.
So it's the SD card route for most.
-
can you not upload the dab logos to the hard drive on the unit?
-
There is an option to auto save the logos for those broadcasting one, still seems to reload everytime though.
Probably depends which unit you have also.

nothing's ever easy it seems :wink:

Help needed!
Have managed to download the logos from Volkswagen.de as shown in a thread, for some reason the logos do not appear once i search for them on the SD card inserted into card slot 2 in the glove box??
My album art is showing fine with the music i have added to the card.
I thought PNG files were good to use? any suggestions? BTW i am using a Mac.

I used the VW logos and it worked okay. Just make sure you unzip the file and move the unzipped logos to the SD card. If it's not working I'd try to wipe the card, make sure it's formatted the way the unit needs it to be and drag them over again. That way you'll only have the logos on the card and nothing else. Have you tried the other SD card slot?
On a separate note, I like the fact you can assign logos to FM and AM stations too. Even old school radio looks good!

I used the logos from the volkswagen.de site. Whatever you do don't use a mac. Once I had the station logos installed I discovered a really cool feature. Did you know that if you went to display station info, it originally displays the logo you have installed, then it shows a jpg of the current song being played! Wow! Both Capital and Heart (London) did this today... Must take a picture.

Anyone else mangaed to get logos displaying on 'station info'?
Fine on preset list but nogo elsewhere.
