Pjrm68 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 On a related note, is there any advantage in using a flash drive vs an SD card or vice versa? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tickerguy Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Other than the SD cards that require exFAT (which the NEX units cannot read)..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Other than the SD cards that require exFAT (which the NEX units cannot read).....I purchased a Samsung pro 64 GB sdxc card and formatted to fat32, filled with flac about 2 months ago, and have had no issues whatsoever. I am going to purchase 256 GB sdxc card and put movies and try it out next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joemamma1954 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Should have SD card in hand tomorrow from Amazon. Will format after work, and put on the ripped dvds and converted m4v(converted to remove Apple's Protection) purchased in iTunes. I will post results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I am posting the results of 256 gb sdcard formatted to fat32, and filled with ripped movies from dvds, and converted iTunes movies purchased and protection removed. The sdcard was formatted by my macbook pro using the native disc utility, the head unit took a few minutes to read format, and voila, everything works as it should. I can shut it down, go into corner store, come back out and movie starts right where it left off. I like this setup, because the rear will play the movies from sdcard, using dual zone, and i can have carplay, app radio, or whatever on the head unit.  Whereas before i would have to mirror from usb2 or use usb1 for dual zone(which keeps me from using carplay).

Free Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks joe. Did you get a Samsung again or did you buy a different brand SD card? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joemamma1954 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks joe. Did you get a Samsung again or did you buy a different brand SD card? I purchased one off amazon, PNY high performance, for 109.00. I reformatted the samsung 64 sdxc, and put it in a sony mini camcorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
