Again maybe I haven't been clear.

There are a number "screens" available on the DAB channels, they being:

■ Preset list - Display the preset list containing only stored DAB stations

■ Station info. - Displays DAB station information, accompanying text (radio text) and images1) (e.g., artist name or programme and image type where these are broadcast)

■ Radio text - Displays one radio text

■ Slide show - Displays one image; the image will switch to full-screen view until you switch the screen back on by moving your hand towards it.

For the pre-set list, you can most certainly download station logos for the 6 pre-set place holders (as you would do for the FM stations). However, when set to station info or Slide show modes, the DAB stations should automatically supply either larger more detailed station logos, and well as current album playing art work etc. When they don't broadcast these (as none of them in my area are currently doing), then the small .jpg or .png logo you used for the Pre-Set station screen, is also used on the Station Info and Slide Show screens, but isn't up-scaled, so just appears as a tiny logo in the middle of a giant artwork place holder.

Mcmaddy and I have tried to get these screens to display much larger icons (by uploading larger resolution images in the first place), but they all downsize to the same size as the icons for the Pre-Set list. It would seem only artwork being received over the DAB network itself as part of the data stream can make use of the full size graphics. This is how it was displayed in the first few weeks of getting the car and looked really cool, however since the 24th, no stations in my catchment area are displaying any graphics what so ever, and it just seems a waste of the larger Nav Pro screen real estate.

I thought only DAB+ stations transmitted images, such as those on ze continent and world service of course.

I have never seen the logo for any UK based DAB station displayed.

I don't have the Pro, but I don't get any logos coming up 'on their own' ie. from the broadcaster.  I had to load them onto an SD as mention above.

As an aside, I find it highly annoying when the DAB drops out of signal, happens to me all the time regardless of what station I'm listening to.  On the flip side, the sound quality is good!

I didn't need to load any logos onto my old rns510 dab as they all just appeared on the screen. nav pro and RNS are made by different manufacturers but your think vw would ask for at least the same radio specifications for a newer model.

I agree with Matchboy - never had DAB before, but did not expect it to drop out so much!
