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.

im using: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8/"]Amazon.com: SanDisk Cruzer Fit CZ33 32GB USB Flash Drive (SDCZ33-032G-B35): Computers & Accessories[/ame]

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've got these doohickeys:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-microSDHC-Memory-Reader-FCR-MRG2/dp/B0028R3NCU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372373699&sr =1-2&keywords=microsd+usb"]Amazon.com : Kingston G2 USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader FCR-MRG2 (Black) : Computer Memory Card Readers : Electronics[/ame]

and

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/elago-Mobile-microSDHC-Memory-Reader/dp/B002HGFKR8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1372373699&sr =1-1&keywords=microsd+usb"]Amazon.com : elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader (Black) : Multi Format Card Readers : Electronics[/ame]

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