When a song is playing, artist and album information is not displayed. Album art is not displayed. I'm using the BMW y-cable to connect my iPod classic.

Would love to hear from anyone that might now how to fix this issue. I searched the forum and could not find a solution.

Thanks!
Your MY2009 iDrive is not capable of displaying Album Art with the hardware installed right now.

There have been reports that the latest CIC (2009-on) iDrive update somehow is loading the MY2011.5 version by default, regardless of model year. In other words, the iDrive update is coded to Combox regardless if your vehicle has it or not.

Definitely that happened with your update. You iDrive is coded for Combox hardware -thus Album Art- and not for MULF-Hi which it is your actual iPod adapter hardware installed in your car. And because it cannot get the track information from the module that it is not installed in your car then there is no display of your iPod information.

You need to go back to your dealer for a reflash. This update is incorrect.

Most probably this applies to the OP as well.

The good news is... the Combox can be retrofitted by BMW to any CIC regardless of model year easily if they just want it to.
