APPLICABILITY:

INTRODUCTION:

Lexus models equipped with the Premium HDD Navigation (EMV-N) System will periodically require an update to the Gracenote(R) Database. Gracenote includes detailed information for songs (i.e. Genre, Artist, Song Title, Album Name, etc.). The Gracenote(R) update will be included on the "USB Drive - Navigation Update" SST. A Gracenote(R) Update must be performed before a Navigation Map Update. A Navigation Map Update is not required to complete the Gracenote(R) update. Use the process described in this bulletin to perform the update.
