Have you switched the audio mode to your iPod via the media hard key?
It won't automatically switch, you must select the media type that you will be playing.
If yes, how old is your iPod? Early iPods actually used a firewire port and won't output via the dock connector to USB 2.0 ports.

I took my iPad out to my car yesterday just to see how it would look and play. I plugged it into a USB port in the console, pressed the Media button and bingo there was Tom's iPAD displayed and it had buttons for Album's, Artist's and Song's just like iTunes.
I selected The Beatles > Abbey Road > Golden Slumber and pressed Play.
Awesome, even displayed the Album Art cover. I iPAD has over 200 CD's with about 3500 songs and the Stingray's interface was pretty quick responding to commands too.
The FF, RW bottoms worked as expected. Easy peasy. Looks and works great.
When I use the BT connection with my Motorola RAZR it works good too but it doesn't display Album Art and the navigation buttons are wonky.

So the MyLink is different from the Volt to the Vette. Go figure??
But does an iPOD/iPhone display Album Art via BT?

BTW, the one downside to BT vs cable connect is iPod battery life. It has nit been an issue because the battery hangs in there pretty well and I have not used the iPod for long periods of time.

Interesting Tom. I got no album art through my BT connection but now you have me wondering. I should try a cabled connection and see if it makes a difference. I might also try D/L of my music to a USB device or a SD card. The other thing that just occurred to me is that some of my music has no album art associated with it. I will have to play.

I'll either get a used iPOD depending on how much a 32GB iPhone 6 will set me back.
