SiriusXM Album Art Question
My son got an M235 (F22) with Connected Drive and I noticed while listening to a SiriusXM channel that he was getting Album Art for each song that came up. I have been trying to figure how to get that Album Art on the X5 (F15). At present we are just getting the channel art that doesn't change.

No album here. I think it's a new feature of the NBT_NEXT?

I had the album art on a 3 series loaner with Sirius Radio but could not figure out how to do it on the X5.

I've tried but no luck. It's really cool in the M235. I'll see if my coding guy knows.

Here is an example on the F22 the Album Art on Sirius. I'll ask the coder and report back.

Message from coding guy...
That is because he has the new NBT2 head unit which was first introduced on in 2016 models so the hardware is actually different. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be possible to enable that onto your vehicle as the hardware is different. |

It sucks that the tech changes so quickly these days but it is also awesome at the same time lol.

They are not functional unless you have the newer NBT2 hardware.

If you are playing music from your iPod or phone, then album art will appear based on if you included it when downloaded into your device.. we are talking about art from sat radio. I can't understand, how art sometimes appears and sometimes not in this case?

2016 X5 40e will have HU_NBT, not NBT2.
I neither own any apple devices nor stream music via BT or connected cable. I mainly use flash drives/external HDD, SiriusXm, and and occasional FM/AM. I tag my music files, ensuring album images are no more than 500x500 pixels to guarantee viewing on idrive. Radio art comes from a combination of Gracenotes, OTA, and online services. I sometimes see album art and sometimes I do not with SiriusXm. |
