You may have already noticed: Your VW Discover Media doesn't display all the logos of your favorite stations. One example from my experience was Antenne Düsseldorf – only after updating the station logo database did the logo appear correctly on the display. The good news: You can perform this update yourself!
Where do you get the logos?
Volkswagen is providing the updated radio station logo database free of charge in cooperation with phonostar . You can download the corresponding ZIP file there.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Prepare SD card
- Download the ZIP file from the download page.
- Open the ZIP file with a program like 7-Zip .
- Extract the contents to a FAT32-formatted SD card (at least 256 MB).
2. Start update in the vehicle
- Turn on the ignition and start the infotainment system.
- Insert SD card into the free slot.
- Open Menu > Settings > System Information .
- Select “ Software Update / Update Software ”.
- The new database will be recognized – click “Next” to start.
- Wait for the update (do not turn off the ignition or operate the device).
- After completion: Confirm “OK”.
3. Restart
- Remove SD card.
- Select “ Restart now ”.
- Restart the system – after that the update is complete.
Note after the update
After the installation, all logos will initially disappear . However, you can display them again by saving/assigning your channel slots . After that, your missing station logo will also appear (e.g., Antenne Düsseldorf ).
My service for you
