Default USB Drive - switching between drives

I have a 64Gb USB stick inserted in one of two USB drives in my GS. Since I've read that the GS supports only FAT16 file system, I divided the stick into two partitions 32Gb each (USB1 and USB2). The USB source sees the USB1 and I am able to play the music from this partition. However, I can't find a way to switch from the USB1 partition to the USB2 one. Has anyone had this problem in the past and if so, did you find a solution for this problem?

No need to partition. I have a 64gb USB drive running w/ở issue. Just format it properly and you'll be fine

I have an external 160Gb hard drive connected, no issues.

Wait we have two USB ports in our car? I thought my '13 only had the one. Canadian AWD F-sport, buy not sure if that makes a difference.

Fat32 is fine, format the whole thing under one partition. You tried to trick it.

Or you can also get a little iPod nano and have cover art, playlists and all that jazz. I love mine, it stays in the car and stays charged from USB and the car integrates very well with it.
