Four free navi updates. But how?

The manual, p 263 and several subsequent, describes these kinds of features in the context of iPod via USB connection. Is the ipod providing those features? The similar pages for a USB storage device, starting at p 273, do read differently. Seems odd to leave out such basic capability for USB. Not excusing it, but wondering if they didn't want to deal with malformed or non-compliant/inconsistent metadata written by an infinite number of tools? (The iTunes generated data on an iPod is probably a reasonable guarantee of well-formed metadata.)

I think you're on to something. IIRC, there are quite a few protocols that one could use depending on the size of the files. Add in security layers like Samsung's Knox security, and I could see things getting quite complex. I'm not familiar enough with USB standards... just speculating here.

Any head unit that's doing the heavy lifting with USB data and is essentially making best guesses at each individual file .
Metadata is sloppy.
Ipod protocol is separate. The iPod is telling the head unit what the file is and the format is standard.
