    The USB port on my Tacoma just died. Greyed out so it will not recognize any flash drive plugged into it. I love my "Oldies' so no USB is a major setback to me.
    Any ideas on what to do?
    If not fixable, any work arounds?
    Thanks

    Load them onto your phone and simply use Bluetooth. I pretty much exclusively use Bluetooth and stream music but also have 800+ songs downloaded on my phone for offline use. I only ever tried the USB port once and stopped as soon as I found out it wasn't good enough to charge my phone as it was only for data transfer.

    Did you change usb drives? Toyota’s only recognize FAT32 format on thumb drives. I tried to use a new thumb drive with the new exFAT format and it grayed it out as not recognized.
