Could it be the resolution? I read somewhere they can't be above a certain size.

Hi thought this maybe useful to any owners with DAB
.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/tv-channels/uk-tv-radio-channel-logos

Dowload the file pick the icons you want for the stations you use, save to a sd card, upload then to your Leon sat nav, you now have a pretty icon for the station your listening too

Cheers

I think I am being thick. I have the DAB icons on the SD Card but how do I import them?

Go to Setup then Manage Logos, select SD card as the source and then select the image.

Can you put the logos on a USB stick for uploading?

I used SD card as I already had my music on it but I can't see why it won't work using a USB stick, it does ask which source the logo's are on when you apply them.

Might be a daft question this, I've not set mine up as yet, but just downloading the images to do it.

They pics have quite long filenames. Example - 4c0e03ec-8090-4bbe-b0e1-723cc0a80065

Did you guys leave them intact, I guess it knows which icon goes with what station based on the filename??

The filename can be anything as you have to select the image for each station manually.
When you go into setup on a station you get the option to upload an image of your choice.

Cheers, that makes sense. Not tried it yet in the car, but noticed the filenames of the images were quite long as I downloaded them and wondered if they were specific.

But I can rename them myself. :)

I renamed them purely so I knew which logo was which when it came to applying. They look ok, a little blurry probably because the original images are larger than the buttons on the screen. If you're really OCD about it you might want to resize them so they match the dimensions and look nice and clear!

Managed to get the logos to be recognised, however it only seems to apply them to the small preset buttons.

If you go into the full station view, you just get the standard DAB placeholder pic.

Any ideas, do the jpegs have to be a bigger size?

Hi all,

Do the icons/ jpeg logos have to be of a certain pixel size?

I ask as the logos I have used (for example a logo with a dark square background colour) all have a white background border when appearing on the presents view. It just looks a bit naff as the logo doesn't fill the box provided.

Thanks.

Thanks I'll give those a try. Do you know if they will properly fill the station icon box, or do they also leave a bit of a white border / background?

I just pinched the logos from Google... I noted the stations I can receive and put the jpgs on a usb stick.. imported them to the radio, and they fill the boxes, although some are a bit hard to read!

That's exactly what I did, took them from Google at a pixel size of about 300 x 300. I'm still confused as to why I get a station logo that is too small, sitting in a white icon box, which sits on the overall black screen background :think:

Same here, downloaded the icons from the VW German site and uploaded to the car. The logos fit the preset buttons perfectly.

But like other members when I switch the view to Station View the logo does not appear on the right. I wonder how you get the logo to appear here too, anybody got any ideas?
