Have a 2018 440i with exec pkg, latest firmware, no bt albumn art. What's the best dongle to use to try coding this?

I use Bimmercode and one of their recommended dongles.

Do you have the extended Bluetooth package?
I feel like I saw the album art two weeks ago while on BT, I usually have the phone connected via USB. When I went to use BT the album art never appeared.

This issue is driving me nuts.

I have enhanced Bluetooth, if I use USB it works.If I use my wife's iPhone it works. I've tested my android phone and a Kindle fire and no cover art. Yes I'm using the latest update on the car software.

I've been struggling with this on Android as well. I've come to the conclusion that there are several factors involved. AVRCP protocol, the app itsel you are trying to stream from and if it actually transmits album artwork are two of them. I can't find a list for android stream apps that definitely transmit artwork and therefore have the possibility of working. Love to get this working. It does work with the native iheart and Spotify apps.

I've tried it with Spotify, Deezer and YouTube music.

Does anybody know if you can get album artwork over bluetooth on HU_ENTRYNAV?

As far as I read in the forum you need a NBT unit to have bluetooth cover art.
