Album art enabled but not displayed (bespoke)? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mexibeetle · 12-16-2012, 10:28 PM

I turned on the album art feature, but it does not display the art from the songs on my USB stick. I have edited the tags (using EasyTag in Linux) so that the art is assigned to each song. They display fine in my Honda Odyssey. Is there a particular version of ID3 tag the Bespoke unit requires. Anyone solved this problem?

I have the same issue, so if someone has solved this I would love to know as well....does this only happen in San Antonio? lol

Ok, stupid question on my part, but how do you turn that feature on? I haven't gotten mine to work either, but maybe that's because I haven't "enabled" it? I kind of gave up on it a few months ago, but maybe I'll try it again with a fresh look.

Ok, stupid question indeed: press the "wrench" icon on the radio, then "General." There's a menu option to "Display Album Art" and I set it to on. But, still nothing either. If I come up with anything I'll post it here so the people from Google (like myself) can get some info.

I messed around with this tonight and the album art shows up fine for iPod and Pandora connections. But does not show up for USB sticks or Bluetooth. And based on the images displayed for those two, my guess is the album art is not supported for USB sticks or Bluetooth. I say this because the "default" image for both iPod and Pandora was a grayed out music note before, and now they work fine. Where as for the USB stick it has a picture of a USB and Bluetooth has the Scion logo. That's kind of a bummer if you ask me.

how did u get this working? i have it on, but it still wont display it

I borrowed an IPOD today and i have to say, it burned y fingers to touch it. I will say that it did show up all the album art and Pandora lit up as well as the BeSpoke app on the HU.

It really is a shame that the HU does NOT read ID3 data and Album art from USB/CD or even read the ID3 tags for that matter. For an UPGRADED HU, not that impressed with features. I am a Droid user but i might get a cheep IPOD in a pawnshop to load all the music on for the car.

How simple for the HU to read the file but not the data associated with it...
It clearly will play an MP3 file just doesnt know the ID3 data.
