Just recently purchased a 2011 ES 350 & a 2010 ES 350. Want to buy a flash drive to play music using the USB connector in the center console. Could someone please advise on the best size of a USB flash drive that would work in our cars. Originally the dealer mentioned a USB 2.0 4 GB or USB 2.0 8 GB flash drive. Wanted to check with actual Lexus ES 350 owners on the Club Lexus Forums. Thank you for your help & assistance with this request.

 

Just curious....Why would the size of the drive matter, other then determining how much music you can put on it?

 

I was originally looking at another car brand & the salesman said that their models would only accept a 4 GB Flash Drive. That is the reason for my starting this Thread. It would be great if there were no restrictions on the size of a USB 2.0 Flash Drive that would work in our 2011 ES 350 & our 2010 ES 350. I currently have a 16 GB Flash Drive loaded with several thousand songs.

 

Have you tried your 16 gig drive in the ES?

 

I have not attempted to use the 16 GB Flash Drive. But I will give it a try later today. Thank you.

 

I've got a 32 gig usb in my 2011 3/4 full of music, works fine.

 

Thank you for your informative reply to my original thread. I really do appreciate your response. Magster32
