    B8.5 R-line DSG TDI saloon - 8" infotainment. Liking it, but a few technology issues ....

    1) The system asks me to update, which I do and it then says update is complete. However, next journey, it asks again, I update, completes, but keeps on asking every single journey etc. Anyone else have this or know how to fix?

    2) Missing radio station logos. I go to radio > settings > station logos, but there is no way to set logos .... turning off 'auto assign logos' (words to that effect) still doesn't allow me to set one. Anyone know how to set a station logo? I presume needing a logo on a USB stick plugged into the car (which I have done), but can't find a way to set from this. On other VW systems it was fairly easy .....

    3) I can unlock my car from my phone using the Connect app. However, I'd really like to unlock using contactless on my phone (present phone to door handle). I don't think my lowly 8" system does this, anyone know if it does (or not)

    4) Seen other posts to say although brochure said the car had wireless charging, its not actually fitted. I'm pretty sure it isn't :-(

    Thanks

    Mine has never asked me to update.

    For some stations (various BBC) mine has found logos automatically, presumably they are broadcast, for others (e.g. Absolulte) I just get a grey square.

    I don't think this is to do with the size of the screen. The new Mk8 Golf has this feature but I've not seen anything to indicate that the Passat has it. From a late October '19 press release about the Golf: "People with compatible Samsung smartphones can set them up as the vehicle's key. With this feature, waving the phone near the door unlocks it and putting the phone in the centre console starts the engine".
