Question
I'm not ordering EBT on our car, have it on mine and don't use VC or dual BT phone connection... I'm assuming I can still stream music via BT and will get album art via a lightning cable?

I'm not sure with this model, but on earlier models, you needed EBT to stream, and for the system to display album art via the USB lightning cable.

With just base BT? That's good to know.

Noticed on ours this morning although we have the EBT there was no album art while BT streaming audio form Mrs W's iPhone. We do get the art if the phone is connected via the lightning cable. I did wonder if there is a setting that I have missed as we do get album art with the EBT in the 2 series.

Thanks great news, I was pretty sure this was the case but wanted to make sure rather than the car turn up without this functionality!

Makes sense, but I am certain that one of our cars did album art via BT. Could be my imagination though

It's not your imagination. Every modern BMW I have driven in the past two years had album art via Bluetooth. You should also have station art on XM but that is not working either. Hopefully a software update will fix this soon. You guys should mention this to your service advisor. The more people complain, the faster an update will be released.

From what has been mention in this tread, might explain why I can not get album art from the memory stick, dispite checking that the art work is embeded to each album. Had no problem with my last vehicle an Audi!! The BMW genie at my dealers has not come back to me with a solution.

What software are you using to create the USB stick? In my experience, the directory structure on the stick is pretty critical to have everything work correctly.
