4RUNNER_NAVI_(U)
■ID3 tag
 This is a method of embed-
ding track-related information
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include
the track number, track title,
the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments,
cover art and other data. The
contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the
information can be viewed
when the track is played back.
■WMA tag
 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 and artist
name.
■MP3
 MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a
working group (MPEG) of the
ISO (International Standard
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.
■WMA
 WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for- mat developed by Microsoft
®.
It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.
The decoding formats for
WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.

Natural language
understanding*
Due to natural language
speech recognition technol-
ogy, this system recognizes
commands when spoken
naturally. (If a connected
services subscription has
been entered, the system
will be able to connect to
the Cloud and the range of
naturally spoken English
which can be recognized
will be increased.) However,
the system cannot recog-
nize every variation of each
command. In some situa-
tions, it is possible to omit
the command for the proce-
dure and directly state the
desired operation. Not all
voice commands are dis-
played in the function menu.
To use this function, a sub-
scription to the connected
services is necessary. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer for
details.
