Multimedia unit - Radio station logos and album art
Does anyone know the new MIBII optimum resolution for the radio station logos? I'm guessing it has changed to a higher resolution from the previous lower resolution units.
Width (pixels):
Hight (pixels):
Resolution (dpi):
Thanks!
Ralfi is rocking a GTI with MIB II and he's made no mention of higher res logos. So there is a chance it hasn't changed?
EDIT: Just updated mine. I didn't think to try a different resolution. Looks good enough to me for now!

Here are a few more for Melbourne. Not sure if posting them here will retain their quality. Let me know...
(choice of 2 K-Rock's, as their proper logo's too small..)..
Looks great mate. Has anyone done something similar for Melbourne radio stations (uniform logos)?
flat_eric : I posted a link to a zip file that contains the logos for a heap of Melbourne Radio stations in my reply on the previous page (see post #21).

PS: Also have a look at the zip file on post #27 by Adam
I noticed if you have the logo with a transparent background instead of white or black the system will add in a default background, therefore if all logos were transparent they would all look uniform just with a different logo.
So I set out on getting a set of logos that are the right size for the system. Then started removing the white and black backgrounds they came with and made them transparent. They now look uniform, see the photo below.
I have uploaded these for a everyone to download, just go to Sydney FM Car Radio Logos download the ones you want.
These are just a few stations, should you have any stations from your locale and want the backgrounds removed from them, post here with a link to the image and I will make them transparent for you and add them to the download folder.
Enjoy!!

Reason: Post moved to proper thread
I've just created the logos for the whole of South Australia. I think I have made every FM and AM station in the State, in the format VW issues (160x120px, with transparency). You can download just Adelaide, or the rest of the State. I have added a few extras for new stations expected, a generic ABC logo, plus a few Golf logos. PM me & tell me how you go, please. Beware these were made on a Mac, so there may be some extra files with just dots that should not be copied to your SD card. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/jboop3kli...GjhbptbZa?dl=0

I've noticed the poor quality at which some people have provided these radio logos. I've created my own at 400 x 250 which seems the best resolution you can get without cropping occurring. I've also set them all on white backgrounds to make them consistent. I haven't had a chance to do them all but the majors are all there. If you have any suggestions please let me know and I'll make them and update the file as necessary. If you're from Melbourne please enjoy!!
turtle: When you read the literature about RDS (Radio Data System) which is the facility that FM radio uses for transmission of data, there is no mention made of logo information. All the literature talks about text based information.
But, I have read a post by "Dawson" from North Sydney in which he claimed that he actually received a station logo via RDS on a mk7 Golf (but just the one time). Click here for details of this post and a pic of what happened on his screen.
To back up 'Dawson', I've also received a radio station logo for one of the FM stations in Newcastle, however the logo is nothing like the radio stations actual logo! Wierd. It appeared about 3-4 weeks ago and its still there now
