I would really appreciate having this as well.

I'm not sure how to answer this question. Android Auto has all the information, both on the album and the artist, and reading around it seems to be Google's decision not to show anything.

And reading a little on the web it seems that I'm neither the first nor the last to have this problem. The hypothesis that circulates most seems to be that of a deliberate choice by Google to reduce the amount of information on the screen.

I understand, I'll close this

DSub can display both the title and the artist name just fine in Android Auto.

No clue if it uses a workaround.

We're not done here yet.

I managed to show the album name, but as soon as a new track is chosen from the Android Auto interface the subtitle disappears.

Currently, Tempo doesn't show either the artist's name or the album art for me (I have seen there was another issue regarding album art), while Ultrasonic doesn't have a problem doing both. Maybe you could find the solution to this problem in their code?
