TSCHANNE Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I have a USB related question about my 2017 Edge with Sync3. Randomly when I restart the car after playing music from the thumb drive in one of the USB ports the system will pick up the music where it was when I turned the car off. Other times it will default to the last radio station I had playing. Is there a setting for where the system defaults to upon start up?

CARR142 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Tom, Yes, in the settings menu, wifi devices, move device up to first priority. May be, maybe not in sync 3, sync2 has that option. Best wishes Edited September 8, 2017 by CARR142 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 If you were playing the USB stick when you turned of the vehicle and it doesn't go back to that source then it probably means it didn't see the USB stick when it started up. Could be a flaky USB port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSCHANNE Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thanks guys, I'll check the settings for priority listings On a related note, the thumb drive I was using no longer works in the car. I took it out to add a couple new albums and when I put it back in the car it wasn't recognized. I brought it back into my office, formatted it and again copied my music file from my PC to the drive but still no good in the car. When I plug it into my PC it shows the complete file and plays all the music fine. I took another thumb drive and formatted/copied my file and that works fine in the car. Why would the "bad" thumb drive work fine on the PC but not in the car/Sync3 system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Because it may not be the thumb drive - it may be the usb port as I alluded to above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSCHANNE Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Because it may not be the thumb drive - it may be the usb port as I alluded to above. I understand that, but my iphone (Apple carplay) and the new thumb drive works fine in either port, so I can't imagine the port being the issue?

akirby Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Sorry I missed the part about the new thumb drive working. Did you reformat that old drive as FAT32? Edited September 8, 2017 by akirby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSCHANNE Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Pretty sure I did. I'll do it again and make sue it's formatted that way and try again. Really a non issue at this point being that the new drive works fine, just more of a Hmmmmm?? thing. thanks for the replies. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 If the other stuff works I wouldn't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSCHANNE Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Agreed Next question while I have you and being I'm in the Nav section.... How do you ask Sync3 to navigate to a POI that's out of state, is that possible? The only options I see when I ask are "nearby" or "city" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I believe with City you can give it a City and State. If not I'm sure you can change the state at some point in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSCHANNE Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thanks for your help I'll fool around with it and figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I'm sure you can change the state at some point in the process. You are correct sir! After you ask for the POI there is a "change state" button on the lower right that you can push and proceed with the voice commands. again Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
