You could play any track in random mode (I realized this when Velvet Underground tracks played even though I could not find the folder), but you couldn’t go select the tracks manually.
When I tried to use a drive formatted with either of those options, the car would not read it. Gere’s how to format a USB thumb drive for cars, the way I figured it out: There were a few obstacles to getting this just right, however, and I thought I would write about the process here in case anyone else who had issues and like me is a not a super tech-nerd but can handle some hackerish tasks. Not being an iPod owner, I use it to connect a thumb drive that is big enough to hold as much music as I can stand. I drive a Honda Fit (2009 Sport model), and love the USB connector in the dash.
