Similar to the other thread, what is everyone's favourite screen on the main stereo/nav display ?

Mine is usually on the media screen, showing the album/artist/song and album art - although my other favourite is the map display from the nav, with the small split screen window showing the media track.

I forgot about the split screen option. I need to set that up tomorrow!

I usually have music, but today I had navigation complete with the wee speed limit symbol for the road you're on! If I could also get the track or album name or artwork as well then awesome!

USMc.. you can set the analogue clock as default for radio off in the settings. I can't remember if its under the radio setup or elsewhere. The clock does not show if the screen is set to off, but thats what the wife would prefer.

My default setting is Screen OFF after 10 sec !.
Again , if anyone finds a tweek to make this settin stick please let
me know.
I only ever use the NAV screen to look at the suggested speed for an area. the display between the guages is the best place for me for mav info.

Jeff.... You said the clock does not show if the screen is set to off....But if I turn my screen off the clock does come up. I wanted to come up while I am driving music playing and screen not being used or touched. Right now I went to settings. Clock display is ON and standby mode is also on.....screen does go to standby but clock does not displays.

If you set the split screen to show the media information, then the speed limit symbol will go back to its usual position on the right hand side of the screen (on the Discover Nav unit, anyway)

Also pressing the Nav button toggles the split screen display on and off, without having to go through the settings option at the bottom of the touch screen.

For me it would be the Station Info screen on DAB Radio if the bloody radio stations near me ever transmitted logo and artist image info (which they don't).

Other than that, I just have shown whatever source I happen to be playing (or Nav if using Navigation).

You have to save the logo to the DAB station via the SD card! Easy to do... There's a feed about it on here!

Nah, I know about those (did that day one of owning the car). They are just the place holder graphics for the Pre-set stations view screen. I'm referring to the larger images that used to come over the airwaves (when I first got the car) and displayed artist and album cover images in the "Station Info" and "Slideshow screens" on certain DAB stations.

They all seems to have disappeared around the beginning of this year from all stations so that when on the "Station Info" and "Slideshow" screens, all you see is the same tiny graphic used in the Preset list view, when infact it should be a much larger "active" graphic that changes depending on the song being played by the station.

My understanding is that only stations that display the little square icon are broadcasting a logo and artist photo, see photo below...



And where I am, there are only 2 stations broadcasting a logo out of all the stations I can receive (Heart & Capital). Not that I'm bothered, my screen is permanently on the map view.
