Yes it does, as long as the trim model your looking at includes it

I have a 2011 IS350 F-Sport. There is bluetooth phone call connectivity, an auxiliary port, and a USB port to play MP3s from a USB flash drive. There is no hard drive for media though.

My 2011 does everything but have a built in hard drive for media. I've had other cars with the built in hard drive and this is better. No need to ever copy music to your car.

It plays music from my phone wirelessly without even touching the phone in my pocket. Just hit BT on the touch screen and it knows what to do with the phone seamlessly. In essence, the phone becomes the hard drive.

I do wish it gave better control of what track it plays from the phone via the touch screen. All I've been able to figure out is how to skip to the next track using the steering wheel buttons.
If you manage it from the phone you can of course play whatever track you want.

When playing song via bluetooth or USB, does the song metadata display on the screen?

Yes, over Bluetooth It does. I've never tried playing over USB because Bluetooth works so conveniently.
