BraddB Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Whenever I try to use a USB thumb drive to play media files I get a message of "Unsupported device" after it tries to initialize the USB. I thought that might be because I am on sync version 1 and it needed an update. I downloaded the update to a thumb drive and still am having the same issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Haz Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Since you've been to the Sync Update Download Page, your thumb drive format is FAT32 for pre-Version 3 Sync system update? If you do not have Navigation, you could use an SD card for your audio files. I use a 2 GB card formatted FAT32 for mp3 files with no issues. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thumb drive was partitioned in gpt instead of mbr. Once I changed it all over to mbr the sync update worked, and now media files play just fine.
