Getting Radio Station logo's

Has anyone worked out how to get station logo's to appear on the infotainment screen rather than a generic logo, many other car manufacturers can do it so cannot believe BMW cannot.

I was looking at some X3 dealer images of cars for sale and came across this one



Although its only the menu screen the far left tile clearly shows the Radio One logo so presumably once entered the logo would appear similarly to how the cover art appears when listening to an Ipod. Any idea's???

you can only see the logo when in Satellite or IBOC (in your case DAB) radio. I believe RDS does not do this natively.

Some manufacturer store additional radio information in their systems so when the user tunes into these stations this additional radio info is pulled and displayed.

correction - when using DAB some stations (particularly BBC ones) do indeed show the station logo

That is the latest release of Idrive .. 6.0 or something like that

Just being rolled out this year on new and existing models .. it's a new operating system and I don't think you can upgrade the previous gen to it
