You need to get a black cable. I have a black iPod with a black cable in the dash insert. You can't see it from outside the car through the windows unless you look really hard, in bright light.

Yea, i've been meaning to get a shorter usb cable, getting a black one is a good idea. I have sort of gotten used to using that space to put my wallet though.

I made a "folder" for each artist by having a separate directory on the flash drive.

same here. the question i have is how i can prevent it starting when i start the car. when i've turned the radio off when i drove the car last, i expect it to still be off when i start the car again, but that doesn't seem to be possible unless i've missed something.
USB does seem to take priority over anything else too. i bought a new cd this week (i know, who still does that), so i put it in, selected Disk from the menu and it started playing no problem. then i went to the mall, did my shopping, got back in and the USB started up, when the cd was playing when i turned the car off... me no likey that too much

I got a 64gb USB drive and i have had no problems at all. Plays like it should. Wish the ID3 Tag support was better for the BeSpoke unit. Perhaps there will be a Firmware upgrade this year.

It would be nice...
