Electronics Package for 2013

Just had a question about the electronics/navigation package.

Does the navigation screen display the album art of a tack if you are using a iPhone or Android through a USB connection?

I have been searching and searching and haven't found an answer yet, if anybody can get back to me it would be much appreciated. Going to order a Deep impact blue V-6 with the MCA package and V-6 performance package and possibly electronics package on Monday. Can't wait!

That's quite a similar configuration to mine - which may be a few days out. Don't know if I'll have an answer for you prior to Monday, but if I do - I'll let you know.

EP only displays Album Art from a CD .. not sure how that works though. Either CD has to have the artwork or its in the Gracenote database.

Hmm I played with it to try and get album art for the radio and songs on my flash drive but nothing...haven't tried with the phone hooked up though. I haven't bothered to read up on what modes it would show it in Edit: just read above comment...that's unfortunate - ah well

I'm sure a software update could read the Album art from an MP3 file ... Wish Ford would do that ... I would think most people use USB sticks.

Yeah, this seems like such a dumb oversight on Ford's part. There's clearly unused space on the screen where it could be displayed. I would certainly welcome an update that addressed this.
