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

Hi I had a program on my so it opened straight away, as its a zip file you will need to download win zip or similar to your computer to unzip the file

Alternatively, I went here - http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/ - Searched under my postcode to check my reception. The results it returned was a list of icons, then I just right clicked and saved the ones I wanted, added them to my SD card and added them in the car.

I used this site http://www.getdigitalradio.com/stations/index/?showall=1

Right click on icon you want and save to external media and then upload to car DAB.

How is the DAB?

Haven't used DAB for years, do you get any drop out?

 

[welshy67]

I've never used it before getting this car last weekend so have no experience of what DAB used to be like. I can say though that I have no issues whatsoever and I live in North Wales surrounded by mountains. I haven't driven any great distance so can't comment on what DAB is like elsewhere but here it's great

The problem with DAB isn't the reception, it's the broadcast quality. Absolute 80s in 64kbps mono. Welcome back to the 1970s.

Thats not DABs fault, thats the fault of the broadcaster for accepting such a low bit rate on the multiplex.

 

[welshy67]

Yes, if you are talking quality I agree, it is not very good. At least now with DAB though I can get more than just the BBC stations, classic FM, Real radio and Heart.

I've imported my logos but if you change the radio view to the station info the logo doesn't show just a box with DAB in it.

How?

How do I do that? I can't find an "upload" facility? I only have the radio, not the Sat Nav version.

Anyone getting this to work?

Ive downloaded all the icons from the links above, but when I try to import them, they arent recognised by the car? Im downloading on a macbook, that shouldnt be a problem or is it?

Very frustrating....

I think your problem is because your using a mac.
Can u not get someone with a pc to download them to a usb stick for you

 

[ZBOYD]

Might not be the answer, but for the Mac users are your sd-cards/USB sticks formatted for MacOS journaled or MS-DOS. Might be worth formatting the transport media to MS-DOS as the cars system may not be able to deal with a Mac formatted card. Just a thought?

You can do this using Disk Utility on the Mac btw

I used an MB Pro for this and I did nothing other than save the png's onto the same USB as my music is on. I'm pretty certain i didnt have to reformat.

 

[kugaman1]

Hmm, very odd.
Ive been putting them onto an SD card which holds my music.
Maybe I should try the USB slot instead?
The system recognises the music on the sd card without any issues so I dont think its down to the card formatting.
Will give USB a try.......thanks for he replies.

Just done the above via USB. Took no more than 15 minutes. Simple.

Just wondering if any one found a way to get the icons to show in the station info box?

Nah, still not working for me, tried saving as pngs and jpegs on both usb and sd card....nothing works. When I go to the import screen, I can see all the files but I see a kind of no entry sign, meaning it wont accept them...

Im pretty computer savvy, but this is odd.
