Discover media - contacts photos and music album art?

have you looked at the nexus 10? I don't dislike any tech gryzor I just hate the way apple do things. they look nice and both android and iPhone do pretty much the same thing so inevitably it's down to personal choice. I don't dislike the gti either and in all honesty I'll seriously be looking at it if I have the same problems I currently experience with my tiguan. everything's good and if it's pointed out to me I'm wrong for whatever reason I'll hold my hands up and apologise. still not buying an iPhone though haha

Nope, not looked at the Nexus 10.  Is that native Android with no after-market skin over it?  I totally agree with you, Apple do lock you in and it alienates a lot of people.  It hasn't held me back at all yet though, which is why I'm happy to stick with it for now.  But, they're not the force they used to be.  I would never say you are wrong, or anybody else on this forum, unless I truly believed you were!  You sure I can't tempt you into buying my iPhone off me in the future?!

Anyways, I appreciate your level-headed reply, and I apologise for any of this getting personal

nexus 10 is the google device with no bloatware of any sort on. do android phones in particular the galaxy s2 or 3 or 4 show contact info? I'm sure they are fully rsap compatible but not sure if that will mean the contact problem would work? no personal offence taken gryzor we're all good

Has anyone got any proof / web sites that actually shows contact pictures being displayed on the head unit?
I could be wrong but I don't think it is in the RSAP / Bluetooth protocol to transfer these pictures.

I would imagine you could maybe upload them to the head unit via a file and they would be displayed that way but not by bluetooth alone.

As for Apple v Android. We are a very split family.
My wife, son and I have Android phones.
My 2 daughters have iphones.
My son has an Android tablet (asus transformer, won tablet of the year) and my 2 daughters have ipads.

I so wanted to prefer the Android tablet but must admit the iPad blows the Android out the water.
Just so quick, responsive and intuitive. I hate the way they like to control everything but have to admit they do build a fine product.

Regarding contact photos

The manual says 'depending on phone'.

Get out clause if ever there was one.

Is there any noticeable benefit using a Class 10 over a normal Class 4 SD card for music in the car?

To be fair to VW, they don't control the numerous phone hardware and OS variants out there, so a well justified get out clause!

I can't say from experience in the Mk7, but in terms of everyday use on a computer, I can't say I've noticed any.  FWIW, I just bought a new 32GB SanDisk Ulltra SDHC, class 10, in readiness.  Cheap enough.

I thought that typically the higher capacity cards were always a higher class anyway.

Its kind of like a guarantee, if you have class 10 then you know there will be no chopping or skipping on playback of audio or video.  Does anyone ever have issues with lower classes?  Who knows?

On the other hand why not just grab the best card possible.  Even £30 for a 32Gb class 10 is insignificant compared to the price of the car and the length of time, 3 to 10 years, that you'll be using that SD card for!

I think it's more the write speed of higher class cards so when taking high res photo's etc they are written to the card quicker. That's why I wasn't sure if class 10 has any benefit when used simply to store/read music.

I don't know if class 10 has any benefit but that's the one I bought as well and it works brilliantly

Yep, that's the same as I bought, paid about £16 delivered, and for what you get it's still cheap at twice that price!
