Post here if you find a Double Din Head Units that will display MP3 Album Art.

Apparently album art is a fairly new feature. Kenwood seems to be leading the way with at least 3 units that support album art (picked up some Kenwood catalogs from a local retailer)

Kenwood DDX712 (pick in Kenwood Mobile Entertainment Systems 2008 flyer)
Kenwood DDX812 (pick in Kenwood Mobile Entertainment Systems 2008 flyer)
Kenwood DNX5120


All these Kenwood units show the album art under the "iPod" section of the unit. But does NOT say whether or not it will work with ID3 tags on MP3s burned onto a CD.
Typically the album art is embedded into the ID3 tag, so if the unit can display the text from those tags, I would assume it would be able to display the art as well. Has anyone loaded a CD with MP3s and pulled up the album artwork?

 

The Alpine IVA-W505 should in the next month or so.

 

I haven't tried it with CDs, but I do see album art from the USB jump drive on the DNX7100

 

hmm...ok so sounds like any mp3, so long as it has the art embedded into the ID3 tag, will display on the Kenwood DNX 7100. good to know
