USB mmi dongle

[sukrw]

hi guys

When I plug in a 32GB USB pen into the car via MMI cable it comes up as unrecognised and won't access it. It's formatted as FAT. I have tried wiping the pen/dongle and just putting 1 album of songs on it and still no joy. It once allowed it and I could play the songs and after a power off it doesn't work.

Is there a size limit on USB pen drives through mmi cable? A 2GB pen works fine.

Car is S3 2013

Thanks

Could be a size issue mate! I tried using the USB stick when I first got my car, but found it much easier to use the SD card.

Is it formatted as FAT or exFAT?

FAT is technically unable to support 32GB partitions.

Sorry, it's Fat32 not basic FAT.
Yes I may have to try a smaller USB pen drive and see if that works. The only SD cards I have are 2GB which is how I got the media onto the internal drive but had that issue of duplicating media with successive copies so I was trying a larger USB drive to copy all media in one go.

Try exFAT, I've got 128GB SDXC cards that work fine in my A4, hoping for the same in the S3.

I have a Pioneer 32gb pen drive working fine

SD card is so much more convenient

Can't be a size thing as i have a 500gb hdd plugged in to mine with no issues.
