Flash drive

Hello I just buy this SanDisk - SDCZ73 drive but the tacoma head unit is unable to read it any suggestions on what to do its a 2020 tacoma trd sport

 

You could try formatting it to fat32 with this. Obviously save the files on it because it will reformat and erase everything.

Thanks grassomotto

 

I believe it has to be formatted in a certain way. I forgot what I had to do with mine

 

yep, has to be fat 32 formatted to be recognized.

I also had a couple that would cause the radio to be shut off when the truck is started again after shutoff whereas it picks up where it left off on others... I could not figure that out.

 

Does it work in a PC? Does it need to be formatted?

 

Right it works in a PC

 

Let me know if it works even after formatted. My drive works with Entune, but for some reason, I cannot open the file directory anymore, I just have to shuffle through EVERY song to get where I want. Not sure what the hell is going on there, but the truck head-unit reads the files really weird. It kinda sucks.

Also, if you have aftermarket speakers or amps hooked (vampire style) up to a high-level output from Entune, music played from the USB port spikes voltage and will sound very distorted and horrible at anything above about half volume. Just FYI.

 

Thanks for the info mah tv
