jegonzo3 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi all, without removing my stereo from my dash, has anyone tried plugging in a thumb drive directly into the back of their unit? Or do we have to use the cable for it to work properly? Thumb drives are pretty small these days. jegonzo3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gggplaya Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 USB 2.0 cables is just a straight 4 wire connection, no electronics or special resistors like in apple cables. So yes, it should work just fine. But why would you not run a small cable into your glove box?? Do you really want to rip your whole dash apart again just to update the music on your USB stick?

Scoobdude Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I used the factory USB harness and the supplied cable to have access to both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't add music to what I already have and if necessary, I'll just throw any new music on to my SD card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
