USB Port
Full Disclosure (I am not ordering a Camaro for myself but seeing as I sell them I would like to know all I can about them)
So I was in our 2LT RS Static unit today to play with the USB port. I brought along my 3rd gen 40 GB Ipod (hardrive based) and my 4GB Sandisk Sansa E260 (flash memory based) When I pluged in my Ipod it took 15-20 secs to get setup and ready to roll. However My Sansa indexed for 10 mins and still wasn't ready to go. I tried it 3 times and still no luck. Does anyone have any insight into this as to what I am doing wrong? I even looked in the Manual to be sure I wasn't missing the idiot switch haha Any thoughts? |
The stereo uses the iPod's built-in index and other abilities because GM licensed the technology from Apple. For non-iPod products, the stereo accesses the unit as a standard USB Mass Storage Device, so the Sansa gets treated the same as a portable hard drive, flash drive, or SD card reader; the stereo must index all the music on it.
Other people report that it plays while it's indexing. |
Mine would never play while indexing anytime I touched a button on the head unit it told the that "the operation is not available while indexing" Maybe I need to go back and play some more with it.

When you plugged in the Sansa, what icon and name showed up on the left side of the screen? Was it a music note and said PFD, or a USB icon with USB below it? The Sansa will like being treated as a PFD(PlayFromDevice) better than a USB drive. If it did show up that way, then it could be that that device just doesn't allow playing music over its USB connection. If it was showing up as a USB drive, then there should be a setting in the player's menus to configure it for Mass Storage Class mode vs. MTP mode. Set it up for MTP mode and see if that makes a difference. |

Newegg has a 10% sale right now on all hard drives. Are we sure that portable hard drives will not work?
