Standard flash drives work fine. The only thing I can think of is Sandisk often have additional programs on the flash drive. Check the drive and if it has other junk on it, delete it.
Will the music you put on the flash drive play on your computer?

Yes but it was initially in mp4 so I converted it to mp3 but on the PC both played fine.
What ever happened to being able to pop in a CD and listen to what ever you wanted?
The new cars now don't even have a CD slot anymore, I mean WTF....
It's called progress, first there was the record player, than the 8 track, tape cassette, CD, and now flash drive which you can put a ton more music on to listen to.
I bought a 64GB SanDisk and formatted it to FAT, then loaded over 17,000 songs from my iTunes on it. Took almost 5 minutes to load the first time in my '16 Scat Pack, but works great!
Waumo could be right. I just picked up a Sandisk flash drive to update the 8.4, and it wasn't blank. I'm not sure if that's the problem. But I would check.
I had trouble with 2 Sandisk USB 3.0 drives in my car, both had the same issue you described. One was 16GB, the other 32GB and both were FAT32 formatted by me prior to using. Bought a cheap USB 2.0 Kingston and that works perfectly.
I use SD Cards instead of USB drives but they need to be formatted as NTFS. I bought a new card the other day, loaded it up with music, and wondered why it wouldn't load when I popped it in the media hub and then it dawned on my that I forgot to format it. Quick format as NTFS. Done.
Weird that a USB has to be FAT32 formatted, but an SD Card is NTFS - right?
I don't use my Bluetooth, personally - it appears that the songs that play that way are first processed through the EQ on my phone's default music player, so when they come on in my car, they're WAY over-modulated.
It makes sense if you understand how drives work. They have to be formatted before you can copy anything to them. Think of formatting as laying the foundation for a house, you can't build a house without a foundation. You can't copy files to a drive without it being formatted first.
I formatt5 as fat32 per the recommendation as I have ~ 175 gb of music ripped from my cd library
And they work properly it's likely so that the file indexing would work properly
- format to FAT32, hmmmm - I'll give it a try tomorrow - my streaming experience is so inconsistent...and I am so low tech, I still collect CD's, like to have the artwork and info...
I have messed around with this for 2 years.
I keep a backup SD and USB with music or comedy on them, but:
It works much better to just let the phone over Bluetooth do everything.
That way calls, texts, and any directions from navigation interrupt and pause what ever I'm listening to, and if I do my sequence right I can transfer right over to my headset on exit and back to the car with a minimum of buttons.
It just works better.
I fought paying for data (even just 1 account) for years until I hooked up with Airvoice, now all my calls, texts and 2 GB for $18 a month.
Video will eat it up, but I've never gone over with directions and full time comedy voice streaming, even on vacation.
