Hi, I just bought a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. My wife wants me to put music on a usb drive, one folder for her, and one folder with kids music. The problem is I can see the kids music, then when I put hers on it, you can only see her music. I have formatted it to Fat 32 and its 32 gb stick. I cannot seem to figure out what I need to do? Can anyone share any thoughts why there might be a problem?

Are you trying to move between the 2 folders you created on the USB drive?

That's what I did. Have some movies and music on a flash drive for my kids and my music on the sd card.

How do you get the moves to work? You have a 14-15?

Only 1 folder is recognized on a USB drive. If you actually want to sort folders you will have to interface with a phone or MP3/Ipod.

That's not true, at least on the '17. You can make a couple folders and switch between them.

 

Here's my video showing how to do that.

I have a mac so I went with handbrake to convert video files to mpeg 4 I think. I change the picture settings to no bigger than 480x something. I will check when I get home from work. I also changed the sound settings but don't remember off hand to what. I have been able to consistently get the videos to work. Will check back later when I double check the settings.

Did you have to do something special for Folder View to work? I swear I tried this the other day, and it gave me an error, something about Folder View not working on my device???

Nothing special that I'm aware of. I just created my folders and put my music into the folders, plugged it into the USB port(by the cigarette lighters) in my center console and chose USB media. From there you can see in my video how I switched between folders after that....

 

I was using a 32GB USB drive, FAT 32 format..

I just checked the handbrake settings that have been working for me. I change format to mpeg-4 and in picture setting, max height of 480. It is no where near high def but good enough for me.

I use folders for genres and then sub folders for artists.

 

Works fine. Usually I just have it set on random, but I can also go into a folder and random that if I want to only hear a specific genre or artist.

I tried it this morning and it worked just fine. I could have sworn it gave me an error last week, but who knows.

 

Appreciate the help nonetheless. :thumbs:

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
