Holy ****, to use just for music??? How much music do you have!?!

Does anyone know how well the USB works? Are you able to choose artists through categories/genres etc with ease? All the names/artists are displayed as well?

I think the USB just goes by how you setup the music folders. Yes it displays all the song data. You can have it shuffle through all folders or shuffle within a folder.

It works perfectly for me. You just have to have all the right information within your files (artist, song name, type, etc.). If, for example, you downloaded your music off iTunes then all the info is there and the screen will display and sort it. If it's illegally downloaded then the info is probably missing. You would have to enter everything manually (there are softwares for that) to enable the car to sort/display information.

@ 4TehNguyen : I didn't know you could have it shuffle through all folders. How do you do that?

So I would be able to make different folders for different playlists, and be able to choose form the different playlists while driving without too much complication?


Are there any recommended USB's to use that would be better than others?

when you are in the audio menu, theres "random" and "folder random" At first it looks like when you toggle random that it take 2 presses but its actually enabling folder random which is randomizing all folders, regular random is just within that folder.
