USB device not recognized...

[NickfromSD]

So, i loaded up a flash drive with my music and it works great... Until i shut my car off and then the next time i come back and turn it on it will say USB device not recognized until i unplug the flash drive and re-plug it in 1-5 times. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

Also, the other day i reversed out of my driveway, and then put the car in drive and pulled off. My back-up camera remained on the entire time, no matter what i tried. The only thing that worked was turning the car off, getting out, locking the doors, then getting back in and turning the car on again. Bizarre.

I love this car, but i feel that i should get the extended warranty because of the technology and electronics.

I have not experienced that. I have a 32GB drive that I store music on and I use the USB jack in the front bottom of the console. It is always there when I start my car. Never had it complain about it.

I would reboot your infotainment unit by pressing the Audio Power button (in the upper left) for ~5 seconds and answer yes to the confirmation. I would be curious to know if this changes what you are experiencing.

I had called Honda Tech support about the flash drives and they didn't recommend anything larger than 64 GB. The larger sizes are causing the problems. This is why your 32 is working as it should.

Sigh. Just got my 128GB. After looking in the manual. And finding no such guidance.

Yes, it's not in the manual! I'm sure that you can find some other use for the 128 GB drive. Try a 32 or 64 GB drive first.

I'll try the 128 and see how it goes. Maybe even someday Honda will fix some of the bugs? Maybe?

How much content do you have on that drive though? hondamitch51 mentioned that Honda advised not to go over 64 GB. Im curious what will happen if you go over 64 GB on that drive.

Thank you, i didnt know that holding the audio button offered a soft reset. Ill try it in the morning and report back in the next few days on whether or not it's stopped.

Its only an 8GB drive fyi

Your very lucky as it's usually hit or miss with a drive that size.

Check the file system on that drive. I do not know if NTFS works, but I do know FAT32 does work, at least for me.
Plug the drive in your computer. Go to: My Computer Right click on the removeable drive, and select Properties.
File system is listed there. If your's is listed as NTFS, you could try: 1) back up your files to your computer. 2) re-format to FAT32
(search google for "how to format a thumb drive to fat32"). Copy/paste your files back on drive, and cross fingers.
Note: max drive size for FAT32 format = 32Gb

My new 128gb came FAT32.

I tested with a Lexar 16GB, and it worked flawlessly and started playing music immediately. So I bought a 128GB Lexar JumpDrive S75 and it is hit or miss and never starts playing right after a car start. So it appears we may be on to something with size issues for USB drives.

DC2TURBO, is your Samsung Fit formatted at FAT32 or NTFS? Any other tips on how you've organized your music files on the USB drive? What file format are you using - MP3, WMA or AAC?

I've ordered a Samsung Fit in hopes it will finally solve this problem. I love this car, and when the audio system works, it puts out decent sound, but the skips and hangs playing digital music files are driving me crazy.

It amazes me that for a $.50 3.5mm input plug, all of these issues could have been avoided or at least easily worked around.

they come pre formated fat32.
mp3 files only
it auto starts playing for me but takes a few second to load when starting the car

My 8gb USB 2.0 drive is formatted fat32 as well. My music is organized in two folders, "all music" and "recently added".

I tried the soft reboot suggestion offered above and it did not help. Sometimes i turn my car on and it takes a minute or two for the device to be recognized and start playing, other times it doesnt work at all and i have to unplug and plug it back in multiple times. I'm working 40 hrs a week and going to school full time so its hard for me to find time to experiment with different variables. If someone could experiment with ntfs vs fat32, playlists vs no playlists, and different types of flashdrives and sizes, that'd be rad.
