I recently got a 2022, and since my old i-pod was no longer compatible I went ahead and got a USB thumb drive to load my music to. About half of the music I loaded had album art. I subsequently loaded additional songs and added art to all of the music I have on there, but it seems as though all the art that wasn't there on the initial load is not being pulled in. I'm curious if there is any way to force the car to re-scan or re-index the USB drive so that it can load the added album cover images?

 

If you’re using music from iTunes specifically, it seems like what iTunes uses and what the car use do not perfectly line up. I ran a scan with MusicBrainz Picard on my library and that cleaned a lot of it up (both missing text metadata and album art) in vehicle.

 

I don't know if the car uses its internal album art database (Gracenote at acuranavi.navigation.com) for USB. Maybe try the free gracenote updates at that site.

Oops, disregard. I see that Acura stopped using Gracenote starting with the 2019 RDX.

 

Not sure what files exe iTunes are, but you can add album art to flac files.
