    So i wasnt sure if anyone else noticed this or even really cares, but i do find it annoying. When im listening to music using Spotify on my phone (currently iPhone 7 Plus - latest updates) the image that appears for the album artwork is completely wrong or it shows the genre artwork rather than the actual album artwork.

    Has anyone noticed this and figured out a fix or is this something im just going to have to live with?

    I didn't even know Entune had a Spotify app. I thought it was just Slacker and Pandora. Pandora's album art seem correct.

    You can change that in settings. I think it is only to show image or to not show image.

    No, Entune does not have spotify

    I don't think he's using a Spotify app on the truck, but rather his phone. If you Bluetooth to the head-unit and use spotify, it will show album artwork but its not always the REAL album artwork...not sure where they pull the picture from for it.

    Yeah, im just using the bluetooth audio source and spotify on my phone. My 2012 Taco with entune showed the correct album artwork when using spotify so its got to be something with the toyota entune software.
    Its not really a big deal, just kind of annoying really.

    It usually does that when the gracenote db doesn't have the album documented. The album artwork is coming out of that DB, not your phone.
