AMaxie, I know the frustration you are feeling. I have several thumb drives (USB) and a Stereo System that is supposed to accept USB, Micro SD and when I tried to use them in it, it wouldn't read them as well. I found out after a lot of research the music I had on the drives had to be individual songs and not in folders and for my particular system either Mp3 or 4 format. Most of my music is in the wma (Windows Media Audio) format. I would suggest reading your vehicles user manual to see if it gives you any info on how your system read usb thumb drives. It may be that if the drive has been formated NTSF (for Windows Operating Systems) it may not be recognized. Is the drive new right ot of the package? I wish I could be of more help. I hope this helps you though. Gary
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just guessing, but it may be the secure access files preloaded on the flash drive. I had to remove them and reformat the flash drive to use in my car to update the SYNC system. Worked great then.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Try formatting it with FAT file system first. Some entertainment systems do not recognize FAT32.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sometimes the way the drives are formatted will cause an issue. 1sr try to reformat the drive as Fat32 or ExFAT instead of NTFS (Using the default byte size). . If that doesn't work try following. Pull up a command prompt. Type diskpart and hit enter. Type list disk. It should show your disk as being disk 1. Select disk 1 Clean Create partition primary Format quick. See if that worked.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.it's the other way around... I re-booted the computer while the drive was plugged in and all came up fine...
