Does anybody know why my USB/AUX port would not work?

I first tried plugging in a small USB hard drive (always worked with my old head units) and now I've tried a 16gb SanDisk Cruzer Force (just with 4 MP3 albums on it) and it always says something like 'no aux devices detected'

It's a CD400 head unit and the car is only 1 year old......and its super annoying Banghead
Has it ever worked?

It could be anything stopping it working if the is a year old take it back as you should still have warranty and let them fix it.

I've only had the car a month, first time I've tried to use it.

But yeah it's still got 2 years warranty so I'll take it in and get it looked at.
Ok sorry I thought you were 1st own.

So it could of had a USB retrofited.

If you want to have a look here is the retrofit guide

Thanks for the info, will take a look but I doubt it was retrofitted as the car is an Ex Demo vehicle from VX main dealer.
I think you are limited to size, number of tracks and folders .

I have a 32Gb USB , but over 1000 tracks , it didn't work - when I reduced the number of tracks to under 1000 and no folders it worked fine.

I'm trying 4 albums (in folders)

I'll go and try it now with flat files and let you know.


(It's pretty crap if it doesn't support folders.......I can see 3rd Party ICE happening Ggrin )

Doesn't work with flat files either, maybe it doesn't like the memory stick, I'll try a different make and then take it to my local dealer (I hate Main Dealers.....)
Did you format the usb drive before adding the files...

I have a cruzer usb inserted and it works fine with folders, have you clicked on the aux button twice, as it has two sources (usb & aux). It should automatically select whatever is plugged in when you press aux button but you never know, you may need to press it again for it to see the usb device.


Have you tried the aux in port to see if that's working? If it is, you could quickly remove the dashboar trim around the head unit and pull the outlet socket out and see if the cable is inserted correctly at the rear, it only takes about 10 minutes if that.

Ok brain fart time.....it was formatted for NTFS and not FAT32, must have used it for some HD movies in the past.

Re-formatted as FAT32 and it all works fine......I'll crawl back in my hole now Blush Blush Blush Blush Blush
