Yes I do have the Navigation option. You can use a software like Tag & Rename to add cover art to your music files (mp3, wma, etc). My music is sorted in folders, by Artist/Album. Tag & Rename offers the option of adding the cover art picture to the whole folder and/or to individual files. Most of the players on Windows computers are able to recognize the picture if it's located inside the folder. However this is not enough for BMW's onboard computer.
The second option is to add the same picture to each individual music file. Tag & Rename has a batch function that reads the jpg files in each folder and adds them to the music files. The picture becomes part of the ID Tag this way, somehow embedded in the file.
Plugged in the arm rest usb of my car, the album art showed on BMW's display without problems.
