Generally, USB supports AVI, MP4, and 3GP formats. You can simply plug it in to read. When the user inserts the device into the USB port, the computer operating system will recognize the device as a removable disk and assign it a drive letter. Go to the display screen to read the audio source, enter the settings page, and select music playback or video playback. Unlike most removable disks, there is no need to restart after inserting the flash drive. You can choose your favorite music or video according to your preference.

Playing USB music on a Land Rover Range Rover is quite straightforward. I've been driving this car for years and rely on it for music. First, format the USB drive to FAT32—just right-click the USB drive on your computer and select the format option. Then, copy MP3 or AAC music files into it, avoiding overly complex folder structures; the root directory or a music folder works fine. Start the engine, locate the USB port on the center console, plug in the USB drive, and wait a few seconds for the system to detect it. Then, tap the Media or Source option on the touchscreen to select the USB source. After that, browse and play the files on the screen—the sound quality is great, and it saves data. If the USB drive doesn’t respond, check if the USB port is dirty or loose, or try restarting the car.

When playing USB drives in the Range Rover entertainment system, pay attention to compatibility. As a car enthusiast, I often deal with these things. The system typically supports FAT32 or exFAT USB drives, with a maximum capacity of 64GB. File formats like MP3 and WAV are widely compatible, but lossless FLAC is more stable on high-end versions. If the system doesn't recognize the USB after insertion, it might be due to a file system mismatch. Use PC tools to format it and delete hidden files before copying music to avoid copyright encryption issues. Volume control can be done via steering wheel buttons for convenient song switching while driving. Don't forget to regularly scan the USB for errors to prevent data loss and playback issues.

Sharing some experience with frequent minor issues when playing music via USB drive in Range Rover. When the USB drive doesn't respond after insertion, first check its health status using disk management tools on a PC to avoid malfunction caused by bad sectors. Reboot the vehicle's infotainment system: either turn off the engine for a few minutes before restarting or press the Reset button to restart the audio module. Ensure the USB port is clean and dust-free, and avoid using drives exceeding 128GB capacity to prevent slow reading speeds. Set up playlists while parked as using the touchscreen while driving is unsafe. Keep file names simple (e.g., songname.mp3) for better recognition, and adjust the equalizer in sound settings to enhance the listening experience.
