HI guys, have a couple of more questions if that's OK ?

For those that have the high end Climatronic AC, what does the "SETUP" button do under the fan speed in the middle dial ? Does this just allow access to the different Climatronic profiles and what's under the set-up button (gear cogs) in the lower right hand side of the SETUP screen ? Is there any way from this to have the climatronic controls mirrored briefly on the infotainment screen (like in the previous generations) ?

Secondly, from a screen display point of view, what information is additionally displayed (if any) when tuning into a DAB station verses a standard FM station ? Do the station Logos appear (or do they have to be manually in-putted), and is there track / artist information displayed etc (like Radio Text on the FM stations). Anyone got a photo of the DAB information screen ?

Thanks in advance.

I wish that I could find out more about this infotainment console before I buy as it seems far too unnecessarily complicated and being in the position it is somewhat dangerous to keep on fiddling with whilst driving. Wish there was a downloadable user's manual.

Slideshow (assume this is US based however as mine is always blank)
Radio text
Adverts etc


Do the station Logos appear (or do they have to be manually in-putted)
Logs have to be manually uploaded from an SD card. Very easy to do.


is there track / artist information displayed etc (like Radio Text on the FM stations).
Yes - although this depends on what the station is broadcasting at the time - sometimes its adverts/text numbers etc.

Thanks for the responses. One other quick question is what are the start up times like on the Discover Nav Pro units please ?

I ask as on my current Scirocco (fitted with the RNS-510), whilst the Nav system is great, my only real bug bear is the start up times, which can be up to a minute before regaining full functionality. Are the new discover generations units much quicker ?

No idea about the PRO, but the normal Nav probably takes around a minute to really get going.

the slideshow function on my dab rns510 was the logos for the dab stations. you didn't need to load station logos in. I can't believe you need to load your own logos in to a high end music system!
