Default 2015 gs 350 usb audio

i've been using a 32gb usb drive on my 2013 to store all my music and it has worked great. on the steering wheel, i can navigate from folder to folder by holding down the ^ v buttons until the system beeps.

my parents just bought a 2015 gs 350 and i set up a drive just like mine for them to use on their vehicle and i'm trying to teach them how to use it. on the 2015, when i hold down the ^ v buttons on the steering wheel, the player fast forwards instead of going to the next folder. i can navigate folders using the screen but I'd like for them to be able to control the player from the steering wheel.

does anybody have an idea how you can navigate folders from the steering wheel on a 2015? or is that no longer possible? thanks! -M

When i use those buttons on my 2015, it goes through all of the tracks on the usb drive. It'll go through all of the ones in whatever folder is currently selected and when it finishes, it'll move on to the next folder or back out to the root folder. I didn't know holding down those buttons fast forwards or fast rewinds through the song.

that's exactly what I'm trying to help my parents to avoid. i have a couple hundred songs per folder grouped by genre. i was hoping that they could easily skip to a different folder if they wanted to listen to something different. -M

Yes the mode button on my 4GS changes sources too but only in one direction example

Sat radio > cd > ipod > bluetooth> sat radio > cd > ipod

While the up and down changes source too but in both direcetions....

Sat radio > cd > ipod > bluetooth >ipod > cd > ipod.

I have the Mark Levinson system.

Default 2015 GS350 USB Music Library Access using Voice Cmd

Recently purchased a new 20015 GS350 Base with standard Sound System. Key for me is to plug in a memory stick via USB with my music library. That has worked great when using mouse, steering wheel controls. But, when I try to use voice commands all I get back is that the system is processing the library to make it voice command accessible. It seems to get stuck there. Lexus says that the system is primarily for an IPOD but some people have gotten it to work with just a memory stick. One suggestion was to format the library using Itunes - I tried that it did not help. Any suggestions

Default up/down steering wheel cmds for USB library...

Forgot to mention what happens on my 2015 GS350 (base audio system) when I am playing my USB library and use my steering wheel up/down toggle. Normally I have my USB playing in fldr.random mode. Using the toggle up shuffles to another song in my library. I have not tried to hold the toggle down to see if it fast forwards.
