what format is your song in some headunits only read certain formats.

[TrevorTheGallant]

well i had it working at one point, but online, it says the deck can read all audio files. the jump drive is in FAT format and most songs are mp3, and i noticed one album is wma. this is so irritating. lol

hmm maybe ur flash drive on the head unit went bad ive seen that happen.

[TrevorTheGallant]

you mean the flash drive i plug into the deck?

[chrome730]

no on the head unit they tend to burn out sometimes

[TrevorTheGallant]

Thats f*cked up.... even if the unit is brand new?

[chrome730]

yes think of it as getting a new battery while guarenteed they work sometimes they dont always work. usb ports use a certain amount of energy and can short curcuit on occasion where theres too much power going to it!

Hm! Go figure eh. haha thanks man.
