shawnmos Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 What is the largest size usb stick I can use on this headunit? I reciently had my ipod stolen out of my car, so I decided to just buy a 64gb stick for $35 because it's a lot cheaper than replacing the ipod. I copied about 50gb of music onto the stick but when I plug it in the head unit just hangs until I remove the stick. If I restart the head unit with the stick still attached it just displays the message: system startup in progress, please wait. The light on the stick flashes the whole time so it seems like it is reading from the drive, but I've left it for at least 15min while driving and it didn't complete indexing the drive or whatever it was doing. So I'm starting to think that there are too many files or directorys for the head unit to handle. there are about 8000 songs and 700 artists each with it's own directory. I suspect that if I leave it on long enough it will eventually load, but I haven't tried. If so, would it save the directory information or would it have to do the loading process each time?

pionara Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 well, process of elimination: is the problem the 64gb stick or is it the large number of songs. Simple test to find out: Put the usb stick in with just a few songs/files on it. I would guess it's the number of songs/folders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawnmos Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 It works when I deleted all but one folder, but it's pretty slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
