    Does anybody know why? In that little window above preset, on rare occasions the cover art will display. Usually it's static, like in the picture. Why? 1489748967909.jpg

    Ok, the cover art only comes on when the car is in park and the emergency brake is depressed. Really?

    Perhaps so you won't be examining useless trivialities while you're supposed to be driving the car.

    I guess they should disable the navigation display too.

    Beautiful satellite cover art displays in the 2017 lift back. Toyota must only treat Prime owners like children.

    That isn't useless. Cover art is.

    It's not useless for me. It enhances my driving experience. Adults should be able to turn it on or off depending on their preference.

    Still useless. It doesn't make you drive better or safer.

    Think about what you'd say if your airline pilot was more interested in cover art for their music than in flying the airplane. Airplanes are much, much safer than cars.

    Because not all cars are smart enough to lock it out.

    Pandora cover art plays in prime, USB, IPOD, just not satellite? It's silly.

    yup - no album art either from spotify or even the iphone.

    They need an update.

    It infuriates me that I can't control options in my own car. It further infuriates me that most other cars in this day and age provide this basic feature.

    Basic feature? What a Luddite I am. I bought my car for transportation.
