I don't think it could be any clearer that you'll get whatever cover art is embedded in the metadata via the USB interface. Here's a direct quote:
"Album Cover Art: The ability to display album cover art will also be included with the iPod/USB Adapter. If cover art is contained in the metadata of the song, it will show on the vehicle display while the song is played."
What will be interesting is watching how many people won't be able to get this working because, unless I'm missing something, the album art displayed in iTunes or on the iPod isn't always embedded in the song file...

It would appear the directory stored with the iTunes library stores the full-size unscaled copy of whatever you assign as the cover art.

Hmm. At least on a mac, as far as I am aware, iTunes does both - it store a cache of cover art in a seperate directory within the iTunes Library, but it also puts a scaled set-size version within the mp3 and aac metadata. I know this because I take mp3 tracks direct off my drive, onto a non-apple player which reads the files and shows the cover art.
