New info: It turns out that certain images (like in the WeConnect app) are integrated in the app itself. It is possible to extract the Android App to gather images required for your vehicle (in my case the Arteon is named 'car_passat_cc_nf_*.png'. With all images uploaded in Home Assistant, I can create a picture elements card like this:

Hi @Jaspils, awesome work! How did you gather the pictures exactly from the android app? Would be great if you can give more detail. |

Hi @Skylinar, this looks awesome. Since I probably own the same model (Passat GTE Variant) would it be possible for you to post the YAML for your card and maybe even upload the image ressources you used? If not then thats totally fine and I will figure this out myself. To be honest I just want so save some time 😄 |

There is a mqtt client project that receives the car image. https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-mqtt "You can enable ASCII Art pictures of the cars with --pictures PNG vehicle images It works perfectly.
Would it be possible to do the same thing here? |

Starting this discussion out of curiosity,
How does everyone use this integration to display nice information on your dashboard? And specifically how do you gather the best images to build it? I've based my view on the following lovelace card by endor: https://github.com/endor-force/lovelace-carnet
Example above shows my vehicle as downloaded PNG from WeConnect (as endor suggested), but this image is only static.
But I would like to enhance things. For example: show the image with certain doors open, when they are actually opened (just like Active Info Display in Volkswagen shows). And perhaps do something with the lighting like endor did in his card. However: I don't have the images to build this, and unfortunately don't have the photoshop skills to make them myself.
I wondered if it was possible to obtain Volkswagen software used in the vehicle (MIB 2.5 I think) and somehow extract the images that the Active Info Display uses. But I haven't found any readable images so for in any software or maps-update I could find from Volkswagen.
Perhaps some other users have found something, or have suggestions on how to get this.
