The USB music player works very well, I really like it. I added some new songs to the device but when I plug it back into the truck it does not see them. Is there a way to rescan the USB flash drive so the radio can see the new songs? I searched and could not find it.

 

Thanks,

Settings in audio in personalization maybe?

 

. Reset Music Index: This allows the music index to be reset if
you are having difficulty accessing all of the media content on your device.
Touch Yes or No.

Did you try to use search to find the 'missing' tunes? 

 

Sorry, I'm just guessing.

Yes I did a search and could not find them. Yes they are all MP3 format. I guess I'll change the volume name and see if that works.

 

Thanks for the reply's.

My experience isn't with the newer vehicles. When I added new songs to a flash drive I wiped the drive clean and reloaded all the songs. I also didn't use MP3. Probably doesn't matter though.

Okay, I think I figured it out. For some reason there seems to be a cap on how many files I can have on the root of the flash drive. So I just created a folder, then put all the songs in there and they are all recognized and play. Go figure. I know the max amount of files for an NTFS root is 512 but I only had a couple of hundred in there, no where near 512. So I'm stumped. Any of you guys have hundreds or thousands of music files in the root of your flash drive? I have that mini sandisk cruzer fit 64GB.

 

Thanks for everybody's help and suggestions.

Not a flash drive, but on my cell phone I have over 2,100 songs. My truck has no problems reading and playing them when I'm not using Android Auto.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
