We have a Mk3 Fabia with MIB2 5Q0035842B control unit, which has Android Auto/Carplay (without navigation). The firmware is MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0369T (latest official) and radio database installed is v1.10.60 (latest). I installed these updates myself via SD card. No 5F fault codes are showing, and everything works as expected. Signal is fine and all expected stations are being received.

The DAB now playing/song/station information is being received by the MIB unit, and can always be seen if we change the view to any of the other styles. However on the main preset view (as the below extract from the manual), almost all of the time it just shows the ensemble name (e.g. D1 National, SDL National, BBC National). Every now and then after starting the car, the ensemble is replaced with the now playing/song/station information, which updates and changes dynamically. There seems to be no pattern to this.

In addition, I've noticed that when the song information is showing correctly, the bottom row of buttons collapses neatly down to icons after a couple of seconds of inactivity, as per the example from the manual below. Whereas when the ensemble is showing, the text below each icon is present and stays on. So it does seems like the icons are meant to collapse in normal use, and therefore song information is meant to be showing all the time.

Is anyone else seeing this behaviour, and is there anything we can do about it? It's a minor thing but we would prefer it to always show the song information. The only other reference I've found to it was on a Seat forum.

Usually loads of info on things like this in the Fabia Mk3 forum or other forums on Briskoda as now basically for many owners cars are more infotainment on wheels (later also battery storage on wheels).

pab567 might know about stuff like this, you could give him a shout and ask.

If the problem didn't exist before the update do you have a back up of the previous program to go back to to check if is present on that or not. Or you could try reloading this glorious update.

HTH.

That setup sounds solid, so the intermittent preset display is likely software related rather than signal or hardware. Several MIB2 users have noticed DAB text not refreshing correctly after updates. A reboot of the unit or clearing and re saving presets sometimes helps. In some cases, the issue only gets resolved with a later firmware revision, even when everything else reports as up to date.
