If you're familiar with the newer Lexus radios, they display the ID3 tag on burned CDs (granted the MP3 file you burned from is tagged).

There are dozens of ID3 tags, which does it display besides Artist and Track name?

Any pics?

From page 216 of the IS250/350 Navigation System Owner's Manual:

MP3 files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver. 2.3 formats. The unit cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in other formats.

WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA tags carry information such as track title, artist name.

Great, thanks for the info. So one can infer from the unit cannot display disc title, track title and artist name in other formats, that those 3 pieces of info ARE displayed when using the one of the aforementioned tag formats.

If you mean, do the video iPods play on the iPod screen, then yes! If you mean will the video iPod play video on the nav screen, then no! AUX IN does not mean VIDEO IN.

Would be nice if it displays Album Art in addition to title, album and artist.

Definitely. But I don't think album art is a standard defined tag (yet).
