I finally got my 8100NEX installed and was very upset when I put the FM HD Radio on and the album art does not show up. I tried several different stations and it is not working. Is there any way to enable this? What am I missing?

Unfortunately it's up to the station if they send the artwork... if you see it on another radio and not yours I'm not sure why..... I don't always see art work on the HD startions

 

Also, make SURE you are looking at stations that show 'Digital HD' not Analog

I think it might be my crappy stock antenna. I have a 2006 Eclipse and the antenna is built into the rear windshield. Going to try to add an aftermarket antenna and see if that helps. I live right outside NYC and all the stations send artwork. Thanks.

When you write "... album art does not show up."  Do you mean the Cover Art never shows up or it doesn't always show up?  The reason, I ask is because the images are some times sent once per song, not at all, or sometimes multiple times per song.  I've noticed at times I do not see the Cover Art when I've turned the station on when the song already started.  Anyway, I'm really curious if your aftermarket antenna helps -- please update after your done experimenting.  Thanks.
