I remember reading somewhere on the internet about a limit on the number of files, folders, etc. on an USB drive.

I'd be interested in seeing whether or not the Avic is able to read all your files if they are placed directly on the Drive: without any folders.

So, it's been a few months now with the unit. Overall, I'm still relatively happy with it. The navigation could use some work, but I don't really have any freezing problems or anything like that (I did update it with the latest firmware). However, one thing that's been driving me nuts is using it with a drive. I ended up getting a 32 GB flash drive on black Friday. I have it formatted in FAT32. And it reads MP3s quickly and displays their ID3 tags correctly...but it only reads a portion of my files (and it's always the exact same portion that it reads). It seems that there are random folders that are just missing from the list. As far as I can tell, there's no discernible difference between folders/files that the unit recognizes and those that it does not. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Copyright protected music files? Too many sub-folders?

Issues like this are steering me away from this unit...

So out of 32GB of music, what percentage of it can the U310BT read?

To my knowledge, the BT issues have been resolved; it has worked perfectly for me since the update.

 

The "lag" and occasional incorrect placement issues remain. They aren't deal-breakers for me, but I'm sure we'd all like to see them fixed in the future.

 

Do also be aware of the very limited set of POIs though.

Thanks for the response.

I'm currently deciding between the U310BT and the Kenwood Excelon x993.

The Pio is about $150 more, depending on where you look, and MIGHT be worth it for the bling bling of having a double din screen for (theoretically) easier navigation of USB/iPod/iPhone controls, NAV, etc.

Does the U310BT do a good job of reading from USB flash drives? ID3 tagging supported, reads and loads the files properly, etc?

i'm on the fence about this HU.

before i make any decision i wanted to confirm that the BT issues are all remedied from this recent firmware update.

Also, has there been any improvement in the GPS functionality? From what I read, the unit seems to be plagued by incorrect placement, lagging, etc.
