Playing music off of USB question - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

djliquidsteele · 06-13-2012, 09:44 PM

So has anyone gotten one of those tiny usb drives to work? I was thinking of getting this:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-32GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00812F7O8/ref=sr_1_16?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1339638184&sr=1-16&keywords=sandisk+usb+drive"]Amazon.com: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 32GB Flash Drive - SDCZ33-032G-B35: Computers & Accessories[/ame]

But now wondering if these micro style drives will work at all.

Thanks

I got the 16GB version of that one and it works great.

Ditto on the 16GB version. Works great. You can hardly tell its there.

Much better price at Newegg.

Tried the USB card on my Honda Fit and it worked. I guess Subaru's USB is very picky.

Cool, just bought that one.

I bought a microSD to USB adapter and tried that. It kept cutting out and switching over to regular radio. So I formatted a 300GB external hdd that is powered through USB and put all of my music on that. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly test it yet, but it does work. Use this program to format large hard drives to fat32: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/ind...?guiformat.htm

Edit: Doesn't cut off. Does take around 30 seconds for the drive to spin up. However, it is only reading around 111GB of around 250GB I have on the drive.

Have you tried another USB drive just to verify that it works at all?

My 16gb SanDisk Cruzer works fine.
