Bluetooth Album Art

Does anyone ever get album art on their f25 (mine is a 2016) when playing audio via bluetooth? Ive tried several apps like youtube music and spotify but none seem to work. Same thing with radio stations, it seems like most of them dont update their info on the screen.

Mine works 100%, whether it's streamed from Apple Music or downloaded from Apple Music it works. (mine is also a '16)

Other services etc I can't speak to.

Via Bluetooth??? Can you tell us which version Idrive you to have? I think this piece of information is important.

I have a MY16, to my knowledge no special updates etc outside of the norm.

How can I find out more info to give you all?

I connect via Bluetooth, play a song and within a few seconds the album art pops up.

Maybe there's a nuance to what streaming service you use? Maybe your cell service isn't good enough when you play a song to load the album art?
Also, if it matters I have a 13 pro max.

If you go to "about" , "software information" or maybe "navigation version" while on your navigation section it should say something within the lines of NBT or NBT EVO or something newer.

My album art has never worked no matter the phone... Only the IPOD can push the album art to my car

BMW has always preferred iPhone over android, until recently.!
