The flash drive in the car (car radio) cannot be read. What to do? Must know

Now, almost all modern cars are equipped with USB outputs for portable devices. The main devices are, of course, USB Flash or simply “flash drives”; they are very convenient for storing music and playing it in your car. However, you can connect via USB - your phone, hard drive and 50% radio tape recorders will also read these devices. Why 50%? Yes, because they are designed mainly for FLASH, and not for a hard drive. In general, it’s very convenient; you upload the music via the computer and within a few minutes it’s playing for you. You need to erase old records and overwrite them with new ones, no disks, etc. But what to do if the “flash drive” is not readable? Was everything still fine yesterday? This happens and it doesn’t always mean that the “carrier” is broken...

As I wrote above - “this is not always a failure”, it is quite possible that errors or bad sectors have accumulated on the media, so your “media” system cannot read them. There is no point in fixing this, you need to clear everything to its original state (all the “bugs” will go away), then record the audio files again, in 70-80% of cases this helps. Now in more detail.

So the device doesn't work

Install into the connector.

The “MP3” inscription lights up and can “hang” like that for a very long time. Sometimes nothing happens at all, or some error occurs, for example “23”, this happened to my friend

Main reasons

There are not so many main reasons, there are only five of them and they are banal.

1) Large memory capacity . Typically, the manufacturer indicates in the car’s owner’s manual what the maximum volume your radio can play. I have this maximum volume of 4 GB. If I insert it into 16 GB, then the audio system simply does not perceive it. And accordingly, such a flash drive will not be readable
