Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm after.
I've set up a number of FM and DAB logos on my Discover Nav Pro, and all display perfectly when in the pre-set list mode.
However, when you are on the DAB waveband, and have the ability to switch between pre-set list, station info, radio text or slideshow mode, as most of the UK DAB stations don't seem to broadcast logos or track images, it fills in the logo area with my artwork I used in the "pre-set" view above.
Trouble is, this artwork is really small, and the "holder" for the station info or slideshow artwork is many times bigger, so I end up with a very small logo showing on these pages (see below for a better explanation - no jokes about my station choice please :grin:).
Does anyone know if there is the ability to display the artwork on these views at the much large sizes ?
Pre-Set List mode

I've noticed this as well, which is why I always keep it in the 'list view' as per your first picture. I'll be interested as well should anyone know the answer! :laugh:
-
I have the same problem. Would be interested to know if it can be fixed.
btw - just playing around the other day with all the stations and noticed that the BBC World Service has a proper large logo displayed. I think it must be broadcast by the station, because I didn't program it in.
-
I also don't get them coming up in order when I'm channel hoping using the buttons on the steering wheel so for example the display may show Radio 1, Capital, Smooth but then when I toggle I get Radio 1, BBC Scotland then maybe capital. Seems odd?
-
Craig, in the settings you have the option to use the buttons on the steering wheel button to skip to the next station actually on the waveband, or (as I have it), skip to your next pre-set only.

Ah thanks for that pal. I also noticed tonight that I uploaded a different capital fm logo to you however when I flipped over to the bigger image it was the logo you have on your screen but the smaller size as well. That must mean that capital also have their logo broadcast like BBC world news but only it's small size
-
Do you guys just upload the logos to an sd card. Also my phone contacts don't come up in the info screen next to the speedo. One last thing contact photos also aren't displayed. Anyone know how to sort these issues sorry to drag off topic
-
Yes, load the logos onto an SD card, then in the radio setup menu you can select them for each preset you have saved (and have a logo for).
With regards to phone contact photos, this seems very flaky and seems to be only supported by a limited range of phones (and apple iPhones are excluded).
Finally the contacts menu not appearing in the DIS screen of the instrument panel, is something a number of us have an issue with, with no solution found yet. It affects me on an iPhone, so I don't know if its just IOS devices or other brands and platforms that are affected as well ?
-
I'm sure I get all contact info including pictures in my MDI but I'll check when I'm out today. I've got an android phone so maybe that makes a difference and maybe why vw supply the iPhone cable and not an android one. the blue collar cable for iPhone shows pictures doesn't it?
I've tried last night with all different sizes of dab logos but no matter what the pro unit just resizes them to what it needs. finding it strange that an album cover can be 400 and shows full size yet the logos don't (apart from BBC world service which broadcasts it's own)
-
A worthy effort none the less Chris :smiley:
Oh, and it's the Red collar iphone lead that's gives most functionality (videos, pictures etc) not the blue :whistle:
-
I'm going to ring the salesman and tell him he's useless. I couldn't remember which cable was the latest and he said it's definitely the blue one. the red one was the old one!! useless t4at
-
For info Chris, part number is 000051446M
-
nice one, cheers :wink:

Not sure if this is any help....found when I was looking for MK7 info

Thanks for trying Ian, but is doesn't really help I'm afriad. DAB logos show just fine when in Station List mode, it's when you switch to station info or slideshow mode on DAB, that the Icons present themsevles at the same size as on the Station list mode, i.e. very small and about a 1/4 the size they need to be to look right.
-
OK...sorry it didnt help....Ive just been collecting interesting links when looking around for MK7 info on the net.

All the links & reviews you'll ever need are in the sticky threads - we've had 5 months of waiting to scour the net for everything GTI/D related :grin:
-
I take it everyone has tried the Volkswagen supplied DAB station logo pictures?

yes tried those and they end up being small too.

I've just come across this, are you saying we should have been given a Red collar lead and not a Blue one?? I've got a Blue one :angry:
-
if you want album art and videos to play off an ipod, then yes, a Red lead is required.

Interesting, thanks! Why did mine come with a Blue lead then? Surely they'd just give you the latest one ie. the Red lead - or is that being too simplistic?!
-
They'll give you the blue one unless you complain and ask for the red one.

Hi guys,
I have only just noticed this thread, I didn’t realise there was another iPod MDI wire available, is anyone aware of any plans by VAG to produce an iphone 5 wire with the lightning connector, if so I might just hold out for that.
Cheers,
Phil

Last time I checked with VW (granted this was 3-4 months ago) they said they could give me no ETA on an iPhone 5 lead - but were working on one with Apple. So that's why I just went down the lightning adapter route.

Did you email your dealer or VW?

Yes - and true to form I got f7ck all reply. I'll give them to 11am tomorrow then ill email the manager. And then if I don't hear back in 24 hours ill email the group manager. And so on and so forth!

Just realised through this thread that I was given a blue and red lead. Tried the red lead today to watch iphone music videos and it worked brilliantly. Very cool feature. The only downside was when I changed over and closed the compartment i couldn't get the lid back open again as the cable had jammed behind it. Took me bloody ages to prize it open :grin: :grin:
-
just to check, I'm just getting the standard head unit. if i get the red cable with it can i watch videos on the screen from my iphone? or is this just for pro nav? if i can on the standard unit, that's just made the car even better :laugh:
-
I got a reply from my dealer. He tells me the red lead is only for the Nav Pro, everyone else gets the blue lead ie. what I have. Can anyone confirm or deny this is correct please?

if that's true that's a shame :(

Matchboy, don't know if it's true or not, but I have a spare Red lead if you want me to send it to you and try it (rather than buying one to find out it doens't work with the standard Nav) ?

I think it may be true GTI_Redpath - and unless your dealer is being generous :rolleyes: they won't budge.
Thanks Norbreck, but I've just bought one off Amazon (£22) - it was a bit cheaper on eBay but I thought if I buy off Amazon I can send it back more easily and get a refund with less hassle from there! There was only one review on Amazon but the chap was using it in a Leon specifically to get the artwork up so I'm hoping it will work. I'll update this thread when I get it and try it out! Thanks for the offer though!

Did anybody ever find out how to display the larger size DAB logos (and where to source them)?
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere (but I can't find a definitive answer).
Thx
-
I got both leads, and use neither!
iPhones have been disastrously unreliable for me, so I'm out on that front.
If anyone wants a lead, please PM me if you'd like one or the other...

I have a blue collared lead going spare too - i'm an apple-phobe (hate itunes slowing my computer to a crawl).

Moro - would love a red collar version if you have one spare. Willing to exchange for a USB lead if that is of any use to you as I had this in an Audi with the same connector. Sorry can't find the PM option (suspect not enough posts yet).

you cant display the large logos unless the station broadcasts the logo.

Great - thanks. To keep everyone happy and to try PM will post this and another to get me to 10 posts which looks to be the magic number! If not will send the details to your Email.

Moro - this is my tenth post so can you now PM me?

Hey, did anybody manage to find this ou for the standard unit? The red lightening connector is now standard. Can you go through pictures also on your iPhone etc?

Thanks McMaddy. That answers that question :huh:
-
it was answered before. you can't display large radio logos downloaded from anywhere. only logo that shows large is the world service and that's because it broadcasts the logo. unless a future software update rectifies this then we are stuck with tiny logos.
-
As a slight aside, has anyone actually found a station that broadcasts the Station logo and current playing artist logo's (aside from the BBC World Service) ?
I'm in Cheshire (halfway between Manchester and Liverpool), and when I got the car, the local (Liverpool) Capital FM, did show up both (and very detailed artist information with the album cover of the track playing etc). However, since Mid September onwards, no stations that I can receive (including Capital FM), seems to be showing anything. Furthermore, I'm 100% sure that when I got the car and looked at the DAB stations in list form, the ones that broadcast slideshow information, had a small logo (2 squares over lapping each other - see image below) next to their name, however now, this logo doesn't appear on any station ?
Anybody else's the same, or has my DAB receive somehow screwed itself up ?

iPhone videos play on the standard head unit with the red cable :cool:

Received my GTD today and first impressions are love it :smiley: BUT have my first issue "unable to read SD card 1" and if remove the Sat Nav SD card it says "unable to read SD card 2" if place it in that slot. when put nav SD card back in all is fine.
I eject and load cards properly.
So that would say card fault but tried cards SD, SDHC and attempted in all formats FAT FAT32 and exFAT and with and without folders.
Have Ipod hooked to the multi media and to be honest happy with that as it has all my music and listen to radio mostly anyway so all I want to do is get the DAB Logos set up.
Think it maybe a reader fault but do not want to go to garage without checking here first? any ideas?
-
Norbreck21a - Seen as you've clearly gone to a lot of trouble to find/format all the logos. Any chance of hosting them somewhere so I/we can grab a copy? It would be much appreciated!
I see that they are available here - http://www.volkswagen.de/de/models/golf_7/brochure/senderlogos.html - but not sure if you are using higher res versions?
Collecting my GTi this Saturday and putting the DAB logos in place is one of the first jobs on my list! :D
-
the website you linked to is where you get the logos from. no higher res versions just what's on that site. all the same size which is small.
-
Chief1337: Have no issue sending you mine, but all mine are local to me stations so might not be suitable for you (depending on where in the UK you are) ?
As mcmaddy said, there are no hi res versions (or at least we have created some but they won't display), so standard res icons is all you need.
-
So the standard sat nav can play iphone videos, cracking news!!!
Does this mean that if I am streaming a music video from youtube it will show up?
If I had a movie downloaded onto my phone it will display it on the unit (sight n sound) ?
I have the standard satnav unit, will I need to purchase the' red wire' ?
-
Can any1 she's any light on the above....

Hi All,
My car has come with a 'black' cable? Spoke to the dealer and he had no idea on these 'blue' or 'red' cables? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I have the right one! I have the Nav Pro Unit.
Anyone got a part numbers and/or pictures of them?

The cables are black, the blue and red refers to a little collar at one end of the lead (the end that plugs into the iPod if memory serves).
