USB Problem

[gaffer1986]

Hello

I am having trouble getting my memory stick to work with the USB function on the Ibiza. I plug it in and it just says no device.

I have tried deleting everything from the USB stick and just putting two 360 kbps MP3s on it and have still had no joy.

Do i need to do somthing to get this to work? I have also tried plugging my girlfriends IPod Nano in via USB which also does not work.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

It won't play of USB as far as I know, assuming you have iPod prep with the USB slot under the heater controls. You need to buy the iPod cradle and lead set, this uses both the USB and a headphone jack that is required for playback.

It should play MP3's off a usb stick, but as Techie says it wont play music off an iPod by just using an iPod cable - you need the whole cradle.

The usb stick option should definetly work though.

Ah ok, not something I have tried myself. But I know they have to be the right file type and in correct folders then to play iirc.

with the ipod headphone plug i only have to put the cable into my headphone plug in the ipod then the cable into the aux port and my ipod will work correctly so you dont have to have the usb to get the ipod to work. This is the same for the psp which i tried today

You will get audio playback through the aux socket, but no control.

good point didnt know that part, never really tried thats why

Thanks, i was thinking of buying the cradle anyway, just wanted to test the sound quality before i shelled out £70.00.

Will persevere with the USB memory stick play back, i will try putting the MP3s into folders and see if that works.

i have used my usb, with no folders or any particular order of mp3's and it worked fine, now I'm connecting my nokia via usb and that works fine too.
possibly an in compatible flash drive. i would assume that the car's system would be pre loaded with drivers for usb sticks and it just probably doesn't have drivers for yours.

try another stick if you have one, or borrow one just to test it. might be the usb port.

Thanks AlexFR10, what stick do you have?

Thanks AlexFR10, what stick do you have?

just a cheapo one tbh mate. no branding on it.
i would just suggest trying any other to see if it might be the usb connection.
nightmare having to use cd's when you dont need to.

 

[gaffer1986]

Even more of a nightmare having to use CDs with the glove box is not big enought for my small CD storage case.

USB?......... I can't get 7" vinyl singles into the slot above the radiogram, what am I doing wrong?

I was just thinking... have you tried formatting the memory stick.

If you go to my computer and right click on the memory stick theres an option to format which will delete all the data, but it better than just deleting the files, if that makes any sense, can fix weird errors and stuff.

So it's probably worth a try to format it and copy some songs over again, because my car doesn't seem fussy with mp3's at all. I have around 200, all at various bitrates and not in folders and it plays them fine.

Make sure the USB stick is formatted using FAT32. If you use NTFS the car will not be able to recognise it.

I just got a USB memory stick from WHS and downloaded all my music works fine ...
