Golf/GTI VII :: Radio Not Displaying Album Art?
Sep 22, 2015
I have a 2015 SportWagen S (Same radio as the Golf. This forum gets more traffic) and I had a few questions about the radio that I keep finding differing answers on. I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 9. I'm disappointed that the contact pictures don't work, but it seems that's an iPhone thing. I'm a little more disappointed that the album art doesn't work with my iPod connected with the MDI cable. I found some stuff about the file extension or size being the issue, but no definitive answers. Am I doing something wrong? I can't understand how VW could design a radio that doesn't work with what is overwhelmingly the most popular media player in the world. otherwise the radio is pretty impressive. Leaps and bounds above the one in my old '14 GLI. I only wish I could have gotten the '16 with CarPlay, but the '15 was a much better deal.

I just received a new 7th Generation iPod Nano and it does not display album art on the head unit. It works when using my iPhone 6, but the Nano shows nothing...

I just got a new 2015 toyota camry with 9k miles tonight! i have the basic entune setup without the apps library thing. i noticed while i was playing lindsey sterling during my drive home that the album covers are not showing up. instead, the device icon displays on usb, bluetooth, and fm radio. The album cover box is checked on the settings screens so it is enabled. disabling and then enabling it doesn't work.
I looked through the manual and nothing seems to indicate of a way to get the album cover to really show up. i have all my music files properly tagged and the album covers came up just fine on my pioneer touchscreen radio installed in my recently sold 2001 infiniti qx4. Do I have to do a re-tag of my files to get the album covers to work or is there another workaround to this?

I turned on my car and for some reason the radio unit isn't displaying anything. I can see the backlight come on, but there's no text. I can still switch between BT, CD, XM, radio, etc. but nothing is displayed. This is not a nav or touchscreen unit, just the one that comes on the base model.

I have 2014 0.5 Camry with Entune Premium Audio with Nav & App Suite. The radio will not display any info from the station I'm listening to, other than the station number. I know that not all stations provide that info in their streams, but I've never found one that will show the song name, artist, etc., although the music sounds fine. Is there a fix for this?

I just bought a 2002 Grand AM, and the radio displays 'LOCKED'.
I tried: p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
Looking at the face of your GM Delco radio, hold down the preset buttons 1 & 4 OR 2 & 3 (Depending on year and model) for approximately 10 seconds or until a set of 2 or 3 numbers comes up on the display. Write the numbers down. But the radio continues to display 'LOCKED', and no numbers appear.

Just got my new 2012 GTI with touchscreen radio, I think it's the RCD-510. I've noticed with my iPod plugged into the MDI, all of a sudden, i can't actually browse by artist or album. I was able to browse by artist a few days ago when I first got it (I know this because I was putting on some beastie boys in honor of MCD passing), but as of yesterday when I try to browse by artist or album, instead of getting the list of artists or albums to select, the radio just goes back to the screen that shows whatever song is currently playing.
For some reason, I'm able to browse by playlist and song, but to by artist or album. I've tried unplugging the iPod (it's an iPod touch) to no avail.

Yesterday my MFI started displaying three dashes, with "mph" above them, and a speedometer icon next to it instead of the mileage icon when the car is moving. When stopped, the icon goes back to mileage.

Yesterday morning my wife's JSW TDI wouldn't stay on after starting it. The screen kept displaying, "Key not in range". I swapped keys and every one of them did the same thing. It doesn't have keyless start, so it's not that. It would start then shut off like an immobilizer issue. I disconnected the battery terminal and reconnected it and that fixed it...for now. I did some research and everything I've found said the cluster needs replaced. I made a video of the display and the car shutting down.

I picked up my GTI a few weeks ago and have been travelling a lot. I noticed that the HVAC units are displaying in C instead of F. I checked all other settings and they are correct. I even called VW Car-Net and they suggested a reset procedure which did not work.

Ever since I've been using my SD card to play music, I have been getting an intermittent error that reads something like "Error reading SD Card" (I can't recall the exact wording). It seems to happen randomly, and sometimes I have to take out / reinsert the SD card a bunch of times before it reads it again...starts playing music for awhile...then gives me the error again.
It was mildly irritating at first, but now it seems to be happening more frequently and is downright maddening. Here are the details:
I have a 2011 GTI with the Premium stereo HU (what is that...the RDS-510?)
I am using a 16gb SDHC class 2 card
The error happens mid-song...not at the beginning or end of a song (so I don't think it's a particular file/s that is screwing things up)

For the last 3 months I've been bringing in my vehicle in and out of the VW dealership trying to find out why once in a while when I turn off my my vehicle the accessory part turns back on by its self and error message displaying "Error: Brakes service now!" In the middle of the cluster & then the car turns off completely. The first time I brought it to the VW dealership they called corporate and they said to change the cluster so they did. Two days after I pick up my car the error message came back on. Took it for the 2nd time and they said that it was the gateway .
And one day later after picking up my car the error message came back on again. I'm getting tired bringing in my Golf R and not fixing this issue. What it could be? Just an FYI, It is a push start. Here's a quick video link so you can see what I'm talking about [URL] ....

Is there any way to change the Album/Folder from the steering wheel controls?, It seems like you can only change tracks.
Is there button to change the Album/Folder from the RNS510, I mean one button you can press to change the album, not going through the menus.

I drive a 2012 Prius Two without the GPS or e-tunes. I also use a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Jellybean.
So far I've been able to get the music information to display on the navigation unit (artist, album, song) but it just shows a little box where the album art will be (bluetooth or usb logo). The information also only displays if I use the "Play Music" app on my phone, other apps (Doubletwist, Fusion, Winamp) will play the song, but won't show the info. I most of all just want the album art to display though.
I borrowed a friend's iPhone 3GS and tested it with Bluetooth and USB. Bluetooth would play the song but would not show any album art, or song information.

I have 2014 RX350 and using Bluetooth audio with Samsung S5 on Verizon. I am noticing an issue with specific album in specific folder on the S5. Once I attempt to play the music on my RX, the same album title is repeated many times and the songs are split into different folders. Why that's happening?

I have the Premium 8 stereo in my '13 Tig. SE and when streaming music via Bluetooth on my iPhone 5S, the album art does not display on the head unit. It does not make a difference whether it is iHeart Radio, Pandora, iTunes Radio, Tune in Radio or straight off the iPhone 5 hard drive. The album art displays just fine when I am listening to HD radio.

I have the jukebox, sync and large screen backup cam in dash. When I play a commercially made CD, I see the album cover on the screen. So we downloaded some .MP3 format albums from internet on USB stick that come with a .jpeg file containing the album cover. When playing, the system sees the album and track names, and they are callable by voice command & all working fine, but how do we link the visual album cover to be picked up on screen? Does it require a special file name or must it reside in a special standard directory structure to be seen?

I tried using voice control to select an album to play and it wouldn't work. I have about 150 songs on a USB stick which works fine using the pointer, but I can't select using voice. I've had the car for 2 years and this I the first time I tried using it. Do you state the album name, the artist name, or the song name? Does it have to be listed by file number?
