2011 Usb Function

Hey gents,

 

 

Just wondering what I can expect from my USB port? Am I basically only looking at the ability to play my IPOD.

Theres no capability is there for the truck to play media from a Flash drive is there? Im just thinking is I had a

16 GB flash drive loaded with songs would that auto play or no? Does the info screen on the truck allow you to view items on anything, like folders and such?

 

Thanks

It will play the flash drive ......... and it should show folders and playlists i believe best thing to do would be just to plug it in and check it out and post results for anyone that may want/need to know

Thanks for the quick reply!!!!

 

I wonder if it makes a difference that I dont have the DVD display.

Does anyone know if it will still allow me to search folders/ brown date on the drive?

The usb will play a flash drive burned with mp3 or wma files. You can search files, folders and playlist. I have 16gb flash burned in a lossless format at about 420kbs and it plays fine. I tried a lossless around 900kbs and it would not play it. I really dont know why but it seems 420 is about all it can handle.Also I have the dvd radio in mine so I search on screen.When you burn the flash you can arrange the information shown on screen ie; title,track, album, whatever.

Not sure what you mean by this. The radio only reads from the USB you cant change anything only select files,folders or playlist. I have a factory Nav/DVD unit.

Im sorry im referring to if you DO NOT have the nav/dvd option. Just the regular stereo with the USB can you still from the head unit change folders and playlists while your ipod is hooked up?

Yes sir you can scroll.

cool beans! the buttons are the same as i have now. the stereo is exactly the same just has USB port in rear.... so how (if my ipod is hooked up) do i get from lets say a rock playlist to a country playlist?
