Anyone know if there is a size limit on the USB size for a stock radio? I just bought a new 32gb drive corsair it will start to play but wont fully index...

Is it filled up? The newest version of factory hardware will only index 10,000 songs.

Not even close to being filled up 1,401 songs, 6.65 gb's used fat32 filing system, all songs not filed (just on the drive)....Am I doing something wrong?

USB drives are a pain. It has to index every time you start the car if it's been turned off for a while. With a lot of music on it, it can take a long time to index. Ipod is much better. It does it's own indexing and retains settings unlike USB drives.

You know there are hundreds of other kinds of portable music players, right? A vast majority of them are much better than ipods. Just sayin.

Excuse me, I was just using that as an example as it is what I use. Yes there are many that will work. Probably better if they don't convert to mp4 like Ipod or scatter the files like Ipod making it difficult to copy from Ipod.

It shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to index after starting the car. When you first put in the USB, it can take several minutes, but that's just the first time. I see you have the 2010. Have you taken yours in for the hardware/software upgrade? It fixes the indexing time.
