streaming via Bluetooth not showing album art

Hello, I have a 2015 428 with Nav. I can stream music from my Android phone (Samsung Note 3) but the album art does not display. Is there some setting I need to enable in idrive?

This only works on iOS right now. Android doesn't support AVRCP 1.4 yet.

I get album art with my iPhone 6. There was, however, a glitch where some songs didn't display art. Easy fix. In iTunes select your entire music library. Right click. Get album art. After complete, then sync to your iPhone. If this doesn't fix it, uncheck music sync to the device and sync, then check the box to sync music and then sync.

Album art needs to be embedded in the music file. Just having folder.jpg in the same folder as the music file wont work.

Does Apple Music count?
I feel like I had artwork via Bluetooth and suddenly it just doesn't work anymore.
