Does any of you recognize this problem: I've got an iPod Touch connected to my Beemer and can view the Album Art in my nav screen. But once I add another album to my iPod, it does not show the Album Art for this new album on my nav screen. It does show it on the iPod screen and in iTunes, but not on the nav-screen. Only Album Art from albums which where on my iPod the first time I connected it to my BMW are shown on the nav screen. Does it need e connection reset or anything to show new album art?

Not sure if this would help, but whenever I download new music, and re-sync the iPod, I usually also go to the menu and re-load the album cover artwork as well. Maybe worth a try to see if you get any better results.

this could be to do with your itunes version or the way its storing album art, as previous poster said make sure you are syncing album art to the ipod.

to check if its itunes storing the art incorrectly...assuming you put the album on via itunes then do this:

- search on amazon for the album, click the album cover amazon displays and save the jpg (usually 300x300) to you PC / laptop
- fire up ituens, connect ipod
- search for the album cover in tunes, click it once then right click "Get Info"
- in the box that appears you should see an empty square on the right hand side that you can drag and drop the album are you just downloaded into.
- drag album art and click "Yes" to the message that warns about updating multiple items...basically adding album art manually like this embeds the art for each track I think
- sync ipod, disconnect then try in car....can you see the art for that album now?

i did find an article on google a while ago that explained why itunes does this....cannot recall now if it was a bug in a specific version of itunes or some option you need to check/uncheck in itunes preferences....if i find it again i'll post link here. all i know is i've followed above process for some albums of mine that were doing odd things with album art and it seems to sort it out.

I'm having the exact same issue. I'm up to date with everything. It's weird because 3 new albums I added 2 weeks ago finally showed up last night, but the 2 newest ones I added this past weekend are not. It's like I had to sync the iphone multiple times before it would work.

Thanx, I'm going to try to sync it several times. It's still strange though

[7woodman7]

Im havin the same problem here! Anyone solved it??
thx

I've also had this happen. It does seem strange that eventually the new albums do appear.

Flakey software.

Use a USB drive to update the software for multimedia and telephone

I got it fixed. I upgraded software (OS) on my iPod touch to the 5.0 version. I now can again see all the albums.

[RAMF10]

are you using the y cable the bmw sells or the regular white ipod cable?

[razfrankel]

I have 2013 bmw f10 I use Bluetooth audio but no album art cover can I code that in for the album art cover? I can’t hear audio playback from my phone photo library videos.
