    So I recently took delivery of a 2021 TRD Sport. Thought it would be largely like the 2017, but I've recently come to hate the fact I can't scan through the contents of USB drive while the truck is moving.

    I'm using the same drive I had in the 2017, and yes, my own file organization on that drive isn't the best, but in the 2021 I can't even scroll through folders unless I'm at a stop-light. Not much use to me on those 3 hour hauls out to a camping trip.

    Not enough to make me regret the new truck, but bloody hell...

    Anyone know of a workaround? Am I doing something wrong?

    While I don't access any USB files while I drive, I think that I could if I tried. I installed the anytime backup camera bypass harness from anytimebackupcamera.com, which allows me to bypass the vehicle in motion lock feature.

    Sorry this happened to you OP. Must be hard living with a brand new truck.

    Why? Because I wasn't paying attention, sorry guys. And yes, life is rough. What with a new truck with about 1,500k on the meter...
