Good morning everyone,

Hoping to get some help in regards to using a USB stick to play audio files in my 2014 IS 250. I was using Bluetooth but I have found the quality sounds off when compared to the FM Radio or even USB. I have my entire collection loaded on and it plays fine, but I don't know how to create playlists and have the car recognize them. Right now it just plays songs within folders.

Anyone have any idea how I can keep my entire collection on the USB drive but also have playlists that I can use?

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

There is no playlist feature on the enfotainment. It only plays .mp3 files on the USB.

Be aware the sound settings, Bass/Midrange/Treble, are independent for each source.
Check the settings for Aux, if you are used to hearing boosted Bass on FM you may
be hearing less from your flash drive.
