How to Play Music from USB Drive in the New LaCrosse?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to play music from a USB drive in the New LaCrosse: Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the center console. Below are some precautions for using a car USB drive: 1. Format: Generally, the vehicle can only recognize music files in MP3 or WMA format. Therefore, when downloading music, pay attention to the file format. If the format is incorrect, be sure to convert it to MP3 or WMA. 2. Path: Try to place the music files in the root directory of the car USB drive. 3. Capacity: Some car audio systems may not support USB drives with excessively large capacities, especially in older models. Since the main purpose of using a car USB drive is to store music, which doesn't take up much space, it's sufficient to choose an appropriate USB drive without necessarily opting for the largest capacity.
When driving my new LaCrosse, I often use a USB flash drive to listen to music. The process is straightforward: First, prepare a USB drive formatted as FAT32, with a recommended capacity of 8-16GB—anything larger might load slowly. Copy MP3 or WMA format music directly to the root directory of the USB drive, avoiding subfolders to prevent the system from failing to locate the files. After getting in the car, plug the USB into the port, usually located in the center console or dashboard panel. Start the car, tap the media icon on the screen, select the USB source, browse the song list, and click play. This method is much more stable than Bluetooth, with clearer sound quality—just avoid skipping tracks frequently while driving to prevent distraction. If the USB drive isn’t recognized, try unplugging and reinserting it or restarting the system. Remember to update your music library regularly to keep it fresh, and the car’s USB ports are quite durable.
