Default Does 2019 ES have USB music?

I have a 2014 ES/UL/ML and use my USB drive for music all the time since it is always in the car. I don't always have my phone with me. I've searched as much I can and it seems the 2019 doesn't have USB music capability...is that correct?

I see the USB power ports, etc., but can you plug in a USB thumb drive with MP3 files and play music? I'm mostly curious that, if so, what are the file/folder limits? I have LOTS of music and the 2014 is limiting at 9999 songs. =)

Thanks!

Yes.

I'm using a 16GB USB drive with no problems.

Thanks. The User Manual of the 2014 is pretty clear on USB specs, etc. Can you find in the 2019 User Manual what the limits are? I.e., how many folders (3000) and have many files/songs (9999) are allowed?

Thanks!

Did you buy another '19 ES and sell the Camry?

Did they fix that seat comfort and wind noise issue you had on your last 2019 ES? Was the Camry traded back in on this ES?

This one has no wind noise and the seats are quite comfortable. Also, no rattles.

This might be a keeper!

The music from a usb works fine until I plug the phone into the cable. Then the USB option disappears from the menu.

It's one or the other I guess. I don't use Carplay so never noticed it.
