Cover is not send via Bluetooth to car stereo

[eltypo]

If I connect the phone via Bluetooth to my car stereo (BMW, if that matters), the album cover is not send to the car stereo display. 

However the same song played from a iPhone send the cover correctly to the car stereo display via Bluetooth.

Is there anything I can do to have the same with Android? Im using a Samsung Galaxy S23+.

Generally Android Auto is more reliable, if you have it. But otherwise, you might like to try turning off the various AA options in PA Settings=>Misc and see if that helps.

Also try adjusting the setting in PA Settings=>Album Art (such as Always Send, or adjust the resolution modes).

I have tried your tips. But without success. My current car does not support Android Auto. I had last week a newer car with Android Auto. There it works, but not with my car, which only supports Bluetooth. Unfortunately, I don't have a idea which protocol or AVRCP variant is used or any other details. But maybe it's a Android issue.

@eltypo does it work for YouTube Music?

I haven't installed it actually, but twill try it. I message you back, if I know more. Currently no other app send the cover. I tried Vinyl Audio Player, Media Monkey Pro, Phonograph, Oto Music, Samsung Music, Music Player Go and some other from F-droid I didn't remember yet. Mostly I try to avoid Play Store.

@eltypo generally if it doesn't work for YouTube music (or in your case you can try Samsung player as well) - it is not supported by your system. Sometime switching AVRCP version in Developer options may help.
