What in-dash system are you using?

While it is possible to embed information in an MP3 file, one
has to do so affirmatively, and the space is quite limited.

Much more likely is that the stereo system is either:

reading images from the USB stick in a slide-show mode

or

looking up "albums" via a web service and trying to display the
covers.
