Yeah in Aust, they sell Extended bluetooth/USB, and music player connectivity (6NK&6NF) separately to Navigation professional.
Anyhow my car arrives in about 6 weeks with Nav pro (without extended USB), so I'll be able to clear up what iPod connectivity/album art is like in that configuration.

My experience is as follows:
2012 F30 with the following options:
For reference, the software version of my nav device is:
As far as album artwork goes:
I don't have any music on my iPhone (4S) right now, but I'll try some bluetooth streaming later and update my results. Note - all my mp3 files have embedded ID3v2 tags that include the album art.

I did not expect it to work, but gave it a try.
I don't have Navigation, and have only the basic bluetooth handsfree with USB (6NH) in the center armrest, and mp3 files with embedded cover art do not display. |

Details:
Country - Australia Options - Professional Navigation Package (609) White cable recognised? No, BMW Y-cable required Album art? No album art (Y-cable, USB, & HD) Basically as we suspected. Nav Pro may provide a combox, but it has limited functionality.

I can confirm that embedded artwork (inside mp3) works with a usb flash drive (I'm using sandisk cruzer fit 32GB).
I have the technology package though on my f30. A quirk though: Some of the songs did not display artwork in spite of embedding the jpg inside the mp3 file. I noticed that the size of the jpeg was pretty big (1900x1900 pixels). I reduced the size of the image and retried. It worked but again not for all files. Finally, I tried another free software (instead of iTunes) called mp3tag and re embedded the artwork into all those mp3 files using mp3tag. This time each and every song displayed the artwork. So, if album artwork is not working for you, it might help to reduce image size and try mp3tag. |

(thread necro) For the 2 or 3 other people in the world who use WMA for everything, I can confirm the album art works with a flash drive when album art is embedded via Mp3Tag.

I found out that there's no USB port in my glove box in the recent delivery of my f30. There is only one usb and aux port under armrest. Is this the difference between 2012 & 2013 model?

I painstakingly went through my ripped CD collection using Mp3Tag and it worked! I now have the album art displaying on my screen Here's a quick video of how easy it is to do. The time taken depends on the size of your library. |

Do you use iblacklist on your jb iphone? I'm curious to see how iDrive handles incoming blacklisted calls (on my iphone they sometimes cause interesting things to happen).

If you have 609 and 6NH for Bluetooth, you can actually modify the vehicle order to 6NK or 6NS if you have NBT and you will be able to also view album cover art on a USB stick as well as well as being able to connect any smartphone to the armrest.
My car never came factory with 6NL so I never had these options to begin with but with some coding, it's definitely possible. |

I don't understand. I imported my AAC/M4A's into MP3Tag.
I verified they already had artwork in them, and they showed up in MP3Tag! But when I took that USB stick and threw it into the F30, none of the artwork is being recognized. Is is that without technology package or navigation, we don't get album art? Seems like CIC without packages just gets screwed, yes? |

If you store music with album artwork tag on the cars hard drive it won't show up right? Is there a way to have it do that? I can plug USB stick into center console and artwork shows up fine, same stick use it to rip music to HDD and I get no artwork!

It depends on iDrive hardware version. With NBT, the local storage can display album art. With CIC and earlier, it does not and cannot. Perhaps a custom re-program can get the feature.

F22 with no nav and latest firmware upgrade.
I use a HP 32 GB V150W 2.0 USB drive and it displays album art. It plugs into the USB port inside the center console storage bin. All I did was format the drive (probably FAT32) and copy MP3 files to its root folder. (Though it has picked up music from subfolders.) Each MP3 file is embedded with a JPEG album cover. Sizes for different albums range from 300x300, 500x500, up to 1000x1000. The screen has no problems with this. This drive is a back-up to an iPod 80 GB connected to the same port via an USB-to-iPod cable. |
