Not through the Aux port there won't be.  That's a simple signal connection.  You'll need an MDI interface to get album art and other details.

Get the OEM BT kit mate ( and a new ipod) ... well worth it

as above... AUX only does audio, not data.

If you're talking about actual ipod (i.e. classic) then no.

You'd have to go for an Ipod touch for that, and then they are £379 for a 128 GB, which still is short of the capacity in a Classic at 160Gb for around £150 on ebay.
