How to play USB music on a car radio?

First, locate the USB port. In some car models, the USB port is easily accessible. Many car models have multiple USB ports that can be used for both charging and playing music. Next, prepare your USB drive, ensuring it contains some music files. Then, insert the USB drive into the port. Turn on the car's central control panel and power switch. Follow the on-screen instructions and press the operation button to switch to AUX mode. You will notice that the on-screen indicator matches the AUX position, and the music playing is from your USB drive.
I find it quite handy to play music from a USB drive using my car's radio. First, format the USB drive to FAT32 on a computer, then copy a bunch of MP3 or WMA music files onto it. Plug it into the USB port in the car, usually located near the center console. After starting the car, press the SOURCE button or a similar button on the radio to switch the mode to USB or AUX. The system will automatically scan and load the music, and then you can use the knob or touchscreen to browse the playlist and select your favorite songs to play. If there's no response for a while, it might be due to incorrect USB format or incompatible file types—check if only MP3 files are stored. Avoid using too large a capacity; 16GB to 32GB is suitable, as too many files can slow down the system. While driving, I minimize adjusting the playlist and prefer using the steering wheel shortcuts for safety. Regularly organize and update your USB music library with new songs—listening to your own collection on the road is much more enjoyable and saves data usage.
