Album Art via Bluetooth on Audi MMI

Post by erik6 » Thu Nov 14, 2019 8:43 am

Is it possible to show Album Art in the car when connected via Bluetooth ? It shows all details of the song, the Album Art rectangle stays empty.
Thanks,

The main menu looks like this on the HU itself:

Hi, i have the GENERIC DRIVER selected on the phone. Still no covers. It is not a ANDROID AUTO system. In AUDI it is called: M.M.I. media connection.

So you use your car as bluetooth speaker ? I never heard of a transfer of the album art via bluetooth alone. I only ever heard that this was possible with AA. Neutron would have to support Audi's MMI https://www.audiusa.com/help/mmi for that to be possible.

I have found this: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b9- ... 9-2947319/

The Album Art is showing when I play music stored on the removable SD-card.
I don't see Album Art connecting via the build in Mini jack.

sorry - are you talking about Neutron ? Playing music stored on the removable SD-Card - that means you put the card into your headunit and play it there - what has this to do with Neutron ?

Mi question is, if it is possible to show Album Art in de car (Audi MMI) playing audio on the fantastic Neutron (Android) player, over Bluetooth?
There are lots of setting in the Neutron player. Do I have to change something there. Or is it the car and the MMI system. Do I have to change the car :o

I don't think that this is possible. This works with Android Auto because Neutron supports Android Auto. Neutron would have to support Audi MMI first. Without this special support Neutron can connect to the headunit as a normal bluetooth device. Normal bluetooth devices get the sound, not the album art, so the album art isn't shown on the headunit.
If you would like to regard this as a request for support of Audi MMI, I can move the topic to the Development forum.

Thank You for this suggestion. I will make a request for support of Audi MMI.

Only cover art is not showing up. For the rest it works fine and i have full control with the navigation button in the car.
Screenshots in the car:

It's strange, my car runs on Android Auto and I have the album art displayed. I'll check the player and its version and will give more data soon so that we can find where the issue comes from.
