Album Art

[UniqaZGB]

Hello,

did anyone manage to get Album Art (cover) working when playing mp3 from USB ?

I have 2015 Auris Style Hybrid. I use "tag&rename" to attach .jpg cover to folder songs.

I renamed cover art picture "xxx.jpg" to "AlbumName.jpg" and copy it to AlbumFolder, and stil not working :(

User manual offers no info on how to do this.

Can anyone help me ?

Regards,

Uniqa

I "think" that artwork does not display from a USB, there have been a number of posts if you search, I dont think it is possible

It looks like it only works on the Go version. :-(

Well, thumb down for Toyota. I think much more user listen to music from USB, instead of CD player :(

Nobody uses CD players, they dont exist in most models, most people play via bluetooth from their phone and not by USB ;)

The artwork displays that way

Well, i dont have space for 16gb of mp3 on phone, but its much easyer to use it from USB...

Every Auris 2015 has CD. Info from toyota principal here.

Software for displaying art work from USB or phone is the same. It has no sense to make the difference.

Data is the same, decoding is the same...there is not a single thenycal reason why it should not work from usb, or CD source for instance.

Its only slopy work.

Like mpg data. Data exist in CPU car unit. Price of 16GB memory is cheap...There is no thenycal reason why all mpg data is not stored to cars memory. You should be abile to have statistic about car milage per tank, speed, max speed, average sped, outside temperature....... for all life time of the car. Such data for let say 10years should not be over 1gb of memory space.

Al this data is availabile but is not stored. Logaritams for storing it is basic. No great mind and programers are needed for this. But its not present in the cars today.

To sum it all up. There is no thenycal reason why playing from USB should not include art work, and BT should. This is slopy work.

P.S. Sorry for my english, i hope you can u read it :)

Hello, update with BT mobile playing music.

It does not show album art (cover), even when playing music from mobile device via bluetooth.

It only shows BT icon where album art should be displayed.

Well, since 99% of Japanese use iPhones, I guess nobody cared about testing or changing protocols for other phone OS Definitely not cool, Toyota! N O T C O O L!

I can confirm album artwork also displays over bluetooth from my Samsung Galaxy S5, Car is a 2015 Auris Excel 1.6D4d with Go+ navigation it did not display on my pre facelift model so must be a new feature on the facelift cars I haven't tried it on lower spec cars or one without navigation added yet

I have the facelift HSD model, but my Galaxy SIII doesn't display the artwork - only a bluetooth image.

I have a 2016 holiday with touch 2 (not go) iPhone 6s and I get no album art from usb or bluetooth. :-( very disappointing. This is certainly not made clear and I can see no logical reason for it.

Maybe firmware upgrade is possible ?

Works on Auris Icon Plus 1.4 D (with Nav) too, I am about to swap in Auris Business Edition Hybrid so will advise what that is like next week
