Followup USB Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ZCT · 08-03-2010, 06:59 AM

So in anticipation of buying my Camaro today, I loaded a flash drive with some tunes. There are three common formats you can do on a flash drive; FAT, FAT32 or NTFS.

The latter has an advantage in that it will allow more files per directory than say FAT.

I guess my question for the technically minded on this forum is; does the Camaro have a problem reading certain formats?

I've heard you can do folders. Anyone know how many levels down you can go? Just folders in the root, or subfolders?

Thanks.

From everything I've read, Fat32 is the format that works best.

Good questions, not quite sure yet

On flash drives I know folders on the root drive you can do, but when you search for the tunes using the radio, they all show up on the radio without folders, so all songs just show up. No idea on the formats, haven't played around with that yet.
