Just like when you plug something into your computer through USB, the OS needs to install a driver for it to work with the new device. Some drivers came with the OS, others are actually on the device. Other cases, you have to install the driver yourself. If you plug something into the GS' USB port but it doesn't recognize, it won't work letting alone being able to control the songs through its menu.
I know what you are saying and I asked that company if its compatible they say it is. Since system sees it as any ordinary USB dongle. And they promised to return for refund if I can't get it to work.

The product does have an on-board radio so can do wireless updates, as the "WiFi 802.11b/g wireless network" spec indicates. The problem is that the FLAC codex may have to be loaded on to your car's processor. What the processor is, and where it is remains a mystery to me. Perhaps Lexus can do the codex install.

So the product is actually quite cool, it just may be that the car cannot fulfill your requirement. BTW cars, even the interior of a Lexus, are not exactly quiet places and FLAC's big attraction is its lossless compress/decompress algorithm. There still maybe a great convenience for you in this product.
