Bluetooth Album Cover Art
For reference, I own a 2014 IS350 F-Sport AWD.
I hop into a family member's 2014 Toyota Highlander and pair my phone (via Bluetooth) to their truck.
And then I notice it... their display shows the album cover art?!?!!?
Why does my LEXUS not show the cover art for bluetooth streaming, but their same model year Toyota does? It seems odd.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to enable this? I seem to get cover art for satellite radio. Which makes the whole thing even odder, as the softwarehas a way to pull cover art.

I get album art via the Pandora Enform app, and via Satellite radio.
I do NOT get album art via Google Music (bluetooth).
I used the same method/app in the highlander and it did show album art.

I spent a lot of time over the last year trying to figure this out and from what I dug up the Lexus doesn't do it via BT. I understand the frustration as my buddy bought a pretty basic Tacoma two months later and his entune system which is essentially the same does. I'm streaming my personal library off an iPhone 6 for the record.
If you figure it out please share.
And before anyone tells me to just plug it into the Usb, well id do that if the audio wouldn't randomly connect and then disconnect every 5 minutes when you do that.

must be a 2015+ thing
Can those that see album artwork through Bluetooth audio take a picture of what is on display?
Also i wonder, is there difference with Navigation and Standard stereo? I know the UI system is totally different so maybe standard possibly got BT album artwork?

My 2014 IS250 (LDA audio with the latest software update) doesn't show covers when streaming audio via Bluetooth stored in iphone 5 (iOS 8.4) despite this option is ON in the car settings. When listening using standard cable the covers are on display. Still can't figure out how to make it show them when connecting both methods...
