Default Music artwork over bluetooth/radio

Anyone else notice that artwork doesn't show up when you're playing from bluetooth? Needs to be from a wired connection for artwork to show up. Is there anyway to fix this? BMW and MB I believe both show artwork over bluetooth. Idk its just one of those little things that I care about, isn't important but would be cool to have

and for the radio, I have satellite radio also and there is never any artwork for the music playing, my brothers challenger had satellite radio and his would display artwork for some songs on satellite radio

on my 14' GS the artwork only show in Pandora. My 2013 accord shows the artwork in USB but not the GS. I use USB most the time and really wish the artwork could show up.

Can anyone comment about artwork on the 13 models?

I always bluetooth, but wouldn't mind USB connecting my iPhone if artwork shows up (I wonder if it would work for Spotify)

I see the artwork using bluetooth via the Pandora App in the car/Enform. However when using Pandora via BT just on the phone, no Enform or car app, it does not show up. Different interface.

'13s will only show album art using the USB connection and not Bluetooth. If you're not seeing any art while connected via USB, check the settings. There's an option to turn them off somewhere.

I noticed this in my '17. Occasionally, if it's a fairly well-known album I'll get the album cover displayed. Other times it's a stock photo of the artist.

Sometimes it tries to grab the proper artwork but fails and the results are unintentionally funny:




I'm really annoyed by the Gracenote genre illustrations, like the one for 'Alternative' music:




Odd that you can toggle all modes of album art *except* Bluetooth. I'd rather turn it off instead of having this hit-and-miss weirdness. Our Nissan/Infiniti systems don't offer Bluetooth album art of any kind, which I would prefer here.
