Playing music off of USB question
 

Hi guys, I just bought this (Verbatim Store 'n' Stay 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 97464 (Black): [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-Store-Flash-Drive-97464/dp/B004BLIQE6/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339372201&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=verbatm+16+gig"]Amazon.com: Verbatim Store 'n' Stay 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 97464 (Black): Electronics[/ame]

Plugged into the USB port and nothing happened. I tried another USB drive and worked fine. Anyone bought the same USB drive?

Might be due to the format of the USB.

Maybe try formatting it to FAT32?

I agree, check the formatting.

It is FAT32.

It might be too large to be recognized. Some ports have a limit on what they can recognize.

I have a SanDisk 16gB that's small like the OP, and mine works just fine.

OP, maybe try doing a full re-format, and not just a quick?

I have a 32gb and it reads fine, try another one, they're so cheap. Find one on slickdeals

I will give that a try.

Check to see if it came preloaded with any utility software. Some non-computers don't like that stuff.

Formatted and still doesn't work. I wonder if it has no reserve power on the USB what so ever since it's so small so the car doesn't recognize it.

Mine works fine. I always have my usb drive plugged in for tunes.

I don't know what to say. Maybe you need to Amazon. Tell them it's faulty, and they will accept it for free. That's what I would do. Sorry for your luck man!

Did you put any music on it first? :lol:

It's not uncommon with these super small sticks to give read problems, I remember another car forum where people had similar problems with them.

Yes I have music on it and it works on the computer. I will try it on my Honda Fit to see if it recognizes it.
