INTRODUCTION

Some 2007 - 2009 model year Lexus vehicles equipped with a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Navigation System contain a jukebox feature that allows up to 2000 audio recordings to be transferred from their original CD media to the HDD on-board the vehicle. Detailed information about the audio recordings is attached to each track at the time of transfer. When each audio track is presented on the touch screen, informational details including Genre, Artist, Album, and Title are presented. This detailed track information is stored on the HDD in the Compact Disc Database (CDDB).

CDDB data updates will be released quarterly through TIS and can be uploaded to the vehicle using the Navigation Update Tool and Navigation Programs Installer software. CDDB data only needs to be loaded onto the Navigation Update Tool once per quarterly release. Vehicle CDDB updates are performed using the Navigation Update Tool.
