Does AVRCP 1.3 support album art? Based on list of media attributes, album art is not included in the list. If AVRCP 1.3 do support album art, how do the information pass?

"A great many autos are actually getting the cover art via some form of onboard CDDB database like gracenote. This is NOT sent over Bluetooth." My 2013 year car (Toyota RAV4) is getting cover art from MP3 files over bluetooth, at least it was getting cover art before my phone's system has been upgraded. I don't know what version of AVRCP was using before, now only version 1.3 is working and no cover art is available anymore.

Album Art is supported in AVRCP 1.6 and up. A great many autos are actually getting the cover art via some form of onboard CDDB database like gracenote. This is NOT sent over Bluetooth.

The short answer is no, it does not support album art. As you mentioned, AVRCP 1.3 does not support album art. As you mention, Appendix E: List of media attributes in AVRCP 1.3 is the source. Neiter does the latter versions.
In theory, you could use one of the reserved bytes to define your own album art metadata field. How well this would work practically would depend on a bunch of factors, e.g.
And of course, if you extend the protocol, you are not conforming with the standard anymore.
