What's the max SD card / thumbdrive size the headunit accepts?
 
As the title says. :)

:thanks:

Well... are you located in Mexico? Is it an FR-S or BRZ head unit? What head unit do you have...

TmP 04-30-2014 09:17 AM

Oh, sorry.

The BRZ touch screen nav unit. :)

I want to say 16gb and the more nested directories you have the slower it loads.

What? Only 16gb?
Damn... I was hoping more like 64.

I have a 32GB flash drive connected to the USB port on my BRZ. It works fine - though slowly. I find it much easier/faster/better to use an old ipod.

So what would be the best way to organize music on a thumb drive or SD card to make access fast?
I just have folders for each band, which folders for each album.
All in all about 40 gigs of death metal. LOL

Just an FYI - Tried 64 GB via USB - nope.
32 GB via USB - nope.

According to the dealer it's 8 GB max. I bought a few of those and will try em out later today.

Also, when I inserted a 32 GB SD card into the headunit itself, all I could do, was choose the album covers as start up sceens...

I was a little irritated that you couldnt put music on the head unit SDcard too.

The odd part is, that my radio doesn't seem to have a USB option...
I have AM, FM, Sirius, Aha (whatever that may be), bluetooth and iphone.
No USB anywhere. I hope it magically appears once I insert an 8 GB drive.

I have a 32gb in and it works. However randomly some of the music just doesn't show up and the head unit resets it's self while playing specific albums.

EAGLE5 05-13-2014 01:12 AM

The 2013 FR-S stock stereo takes every single gig of my big, bad 64. That's 64GB limp, BTW. Loads up real quick. Takes forever to scroll through all the songs in one folder, though. I'm going to organize.

Ahhh yeah.

It's a Lexar flippy thingy from Target.

TmP 05-13-2014 08:33 AM

That sucks.
I just bought a bunch of 8 gig drives and they work, but I'd rather have all my music on one single drive :/

Any idea what about different drives makes the headunit accept them?

I have a 64GB one in mine, works great (I posted about it in other threads) [ame="http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Low-Profile-Drive--SDCZ33-064G-B35/dp/B00FJRS6QY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1402946729&sr=8-2"]Amazon.com: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 64GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive- SDCZ33-064G-B35: Computers & Accessories[/ame]

Thanks! Ordered :)

Bumping this so I don't have to start a new thread, just looking for some confirmation:

As I understand it you cannot load music onto the SD card, correct?

The more I dig into these headunits the more I think it will be the first thing I replace on my 2015 next week when it gets here. :X

Correct. The SD card is for maps and other things internal to the head unit only.

Do some research if the unit accepts SDHC its 32GB limit if its SDXC there is no limit...yet.

calibrz 07-25-2014 06:15 PM

I have a Kingston 32GB SDXC, and it works fine. very fast. no pause at all.

yaguphire 07-25-2014 06:41 PM

You can always try putting in 1tb USB drive. To my knowledge it accepted fat32. Working for NTFS format? Never tried it in NTFS.
