I wasn't able to get any album art with Spotify running ios 8.2. I have noticed the fade is still there, it shows at the bottom of the album art where the music controls are. The picture quality does look better though. Hope ios 8.3 comes out soon. I will try and take picture of the music art so you can see how it looks.

Hi Well I've done some more testing. I was able to install ios 8.3 onto my phone and have tested it with carplay. Everything is now working and can see music art when using 3rd party apps. I have tested with Spotify and Rdio, as those are the only ones I can use since I'm in the UK. Also the album art seems to look a lot better than it ever has. Not sure if it is just me or the fact I haven't seen it in a awhile but I can confirm the problem with music art is down to ios 8.2

I have to agree with DP3343. Album art on Pioneer CarPlay is awful. I have only seen album art on Alpine unit via youtube videos and can tell it looks a lot better. I'm sure when I first started using CarPlay the album art looked a lot better but seems with every ios update it gradually gets worse. Further to album art problem, it looks as though it is an ios 8.2 problem. I downgraded my phone back to ios 8.1.3 and album art showed up on CarPlay, even though the quality wasn't great. I have tried everything with ios 8.2 to get it to work but it wont. Tried clean install on iPhone, r

Hi Spankey Can you let me know how you get on with testing ios 8.3 to see if that fixes problem. I was thinking of downgrading back to iOS 8.1.3 to get things working again

Think its iOS update as I received update to Spotify today and it didn't help.

Hi Spankey I am also having the same problem. I have Spotify and Rdio app and none of them are showing the album art since I updated to ios 8.2. I have even reset my Pioneer head unit and also wiped my iPhone to see if that would help but nothing. Just get a blank screen. I have the Pioneer AVH-x8600BT and iPhone 6 plus.
