Has any one found A super small USB drive to leave in?
 

I'm looking for a super tiny USB drive that I can plug into the stock port on my BRZ and still have the USB/aux input cover closed.

Help?

Here is one they are a bit too pricey for me. Hope this helps.

That will still stick out too much, thanks though.

That's pretty much as small as they get.

I'm using this.

Same here. Just enough sticking out to be able to remove it.

Can you put the cover down/over it?

The cover won't snap closed but you can't see it (the usb stick)

There's no way you're going to get a flash drive in there and snap that cover closed. It hangs over it. I might just go ahead and tear it off like I always do with dust covers.

well then it's time for me to get creative......

only $16 for 16gb plus free 2nd day shipping for prime members TINY works great!

I snagged a patriot autobahn 32GB model for a whole $10 thanks to my discover card cash back.

I picked up a Scan Disk 32GB Cruzer on sale for 29.99http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/...rter_view1.jpg

thats the same one i posted a link to about 3 posts up. works like a champ! cant imagine anything much smaller.

you paid too much lol

I imagine with patience and sanding I can modify a small USB storage drive to the point it fits under the cover.

Yeah, I paid just over half that for my 32Gb, and that was nearly a year ago. They seem to be going up in price. :iono:

But I am having an issue where it just dies when I try to skip too many songs at once :s... I have to pull the usb out... then turn off the car and power the car back on before it will work correctly again...

Anyone else having this issue?

The only issue I had, copied a few more songs to it, car stopped reading it. Ended up dumping everything to one of my computers, formatting the drive, and putting everything back on. Takes a while to transfer 30GB of music!

Never had issues playing though. Other than about 40 seconds after startup, it stutters for a second.

Is there anyway to get the USB to read other formats such as m4a?

I thought I heard about a problem with teh 32mb sandisk cruzers doing that, I got the 16 and haven't had to remove it since put in save for once to add more music, and it's never missed a Beat... heh...

I have the base radio and it has no issues playing m4a format. I have the files encoded as variable bitrate aac.

i had the kingston one and i actually switched it to the sandisk micro cruz usb drive, its actually smaller and almost unnoticable.

I've got these doohickeys:

The Kingston works with all my MicroSD cards but the Elago and the Subaru Head Unit are picky about which MicroSD cards work.
