Has anyone been able to watch videos / movies using a USB or phone for that matter?

Yeah I was able to successfully watch a XVID encoded DVD rip, works great and a nice thing to pass the time while sitting on a ferry for 45mins... so not only can we watch official DIVX video but XVID as well :party0030:

Using the 32GB Sandisk Cruzer here too.

How about anyone with an US spec FR=S? Can we watch video? (on the Bespoke one obviously, I know the base wont.)

^^ And to add to that... anyone know if the Canadian models with the upgraded HU can do video?

Don't know where the 8GB limit thing came from, but the manual for the standard Pioneer radio doesn't state a limit on USB drive capacity, just USB version, transfer rate and file system limitations. The 255 folder limit may be a problem with the 32GB and larger drives, but it's pretty amazing how much music will fit on a 32, even when higher sample rates are used to rip the files. A USB 2.0 works fine with this unit, and they're pretty cheap now.

ok so i am trying to get this to work and i just need some info. just want to verify you have the bespoke radio also what file code are you using to play movies like .mp4 etc?

For everybody using a USB drive. Can you put music in folders and access them separately or they all have to be in the main folder? I have ton of music that I don't feel like storing on my phone, but would be nice to still have in the car.. Never used this setup, I either Bluetooth or Sat radio.

If you re-format to NFTS to store files larger than 4GB (i.e. HD movies), it won't work. It will be stupid slow. And then if you go on to the Sandisk website it says don't format it to NTFS... duh. FAT32 it is then.

Yeah just press search at the bottom and you can browse the folder structure of your flash drive.

i think that's true for any flash drive. you can format any drive in NFTS or FAT32. also i assume everyone would get this for the same reason i would, which was to have a very small flashdrive solely for car music that you could leave in your car, in which case you wouldn't need to reformat it to store files larger than 4gb. that's good to know though for people not sure why there flash drive doesn't work with the car.
