Have to put the back seat down.
At least it's an option. See you fit that in a Lotus.

Thanks, I passed that along to my friend and gave him the drive. He returned it to me, loaded -- and mention ed that during the process the drive got rather hot. Odd? Symptomatic of the massive loading all at once? I do not know.

Next time we go somewhere, we'll try it out; I presume wither the drive in place, we'll discover a selection on the touchscreen that accesses the contents of the drive.

since formatting will erase everything on the drive, you'll want to put the music from the drive, onto your computer prior to formatting. once the music has been transferred to your computer, format the usb drive as shown in that video and then go ahead and add whatever music you want back onto the newly formatted drive.

Is there a maximum file bit rate for the OEM system on this car? Can it read Flac or Apple lossless files? And is the capacity limit solely that 5000 tracks, or is there also a maximum usb drive size you can use? (I have a large library of lossless tracks I really don’t want to have to downsample, but of course they are much bigger than standard MP3s.)

I’ve been using Amazon Music Unlimited. I guess there is no way of playing tracks downloaded from that on the car without going through their own music app on an Android or Apple phone (still using a Windows phone currently)?

Most USB drives will heat up under use, some more than others. Anytime you use electricity to do "work", there's going to be heat as a byproduct.

In the car you won't notice it because the drive is only being read at a slow rate. It only takes a few minutes to write several hours worth of music to the drive, but several hours to listen to it. Each "bit" of data costs a tiny amount of heat, so when you try to do them all at once it builds up faster than the drive can cool off.

I don't recall the menu in the touchscreen for the USB audio, but there are several "tabs" across the top (about a quarter of the way from the top-top). USB is far to the right and may require arrowing over to get to it. It's something like "USB" or "Media" iirc.

Thanks, we'll try it. I guess we don't need to keep a fire extinguisher handy in the car (although not a bad idea besides eating into trunk space)?

also, check some video's on the e50. i've put one in all my vehicles, and keep one at work, but don't consider it a fire extinguisher so much as a 'fire delayer'. it's at least enough to 'cover my 6' on my way out of the situation, but published video testing doesn't support the idea of it actually eliminating fires.

It's the bracket, the hardware, and the E50.

Cheapest I can find the E50 is $90, so I'm not sure how the math you're doing works.
