Any limits to USB drive support?
Is the vehicle USB 2.0 (I assume so) or USB 3.0 (I guess not)?
What about max drive size?
I've been searching but can't find any details on the USB drives.
I'm looking at a 64GB USB3.0 SanDisk drive, hoping that it will work.

I have my 32gb 3.0 in it and its fine and happy, but its a 2.0 port, 3.0 are blue inside, not black

Yes I found in the manual it says USB2.0, but most USB3.0 devices are backwards compatible.
I currently have a 32GB USB2.0 in it and it works fine, I want to go to a 64GB low profile USB drive so that it does not stick out so far.
Some comments said they do not work with all car audio systems, so just wondering about that.

I didn't think usb drives had a limit lol I dont have that much music so ill never run into that issue personally, I'd look up the mazda cars, mazda 2 and maybe cx3? See what people say about them, or just try it haha

I've ordered a 64GB USB3.0 low profile from Amazon... so I will find out on Thursday
My 2015 Jeep positively does not like a large USB drive with lots of music on it, the iA seems to handle it much better. I suppose it's Japanese technology vs Chinese technology

This is interesting. I was planning on using my phone to play audio. Is it easy to navigate through the music on a flash drive? I'd rather not fill my phone if I could have a user-friendly alternative.

 

[Bundu]

Yes, navigation is simple... it's the same as with the phone. You plug in the flash drive and select it as the source (USB1 or USB2) and away you go.

So I assume the music can be listed on the touchscreen? I'd just look at my phone screen if I was using my phone.

Yes, it displays on the screen, plus artist, album etc.
You can play by genre, artist, album and so on, have not fully explored yet. There is a shuffle function so you get random playback. Classical music comes out clear as well - yeah I listen to classical music.

Thanks for the answers. Not to derail, but I love Classical music. Try out some Chopin ballades for me!

Going touch screen usb music is awkward at first, but you can figure it out in under 10 minuets, I love the fact I don't really have to touch anything. I wish they had an option to see song and artist on the cluster though

I bought this at Amazon http://amzn.com/B00LLEODCK

It works like a charm, I have 40+ GB loaded on it and there are no delays scanning folders, artists, songs etc.

It is real small and does not stick out like a full size USB drive.

And I've just noticed the car seats have blue in them! I'm color challenged but I love blue, that's a good thing

Jip I do have Chopin and heaps of classical piano - my favorite. It destresses me in traffic.
I was in the army (infantry) for 10 years and saw combat. A woman introduced me to classical music to destress and I've not looked back 0
