The BYD Song USB port may not recognize the USB flash drive due to a loose connection at the USB port. Once the port is loose, the USB may fail to recognize the device, or the USB flash drive itself may be damaged. First, check if the USB flash drive is faulty. If it is not faulty, plug it into a computer to check the format of the USB flash drive and reformat it to NTFS format. If it still cannot be read, the car's USB port may be faulty and requires repair at a professional auto repair shop. Precautions for using the car USB port: Do not unplug the USB flash drive while it is reading, writing, or saving data to avoid damaging the USB flash drive and the port. The USB flash drive also requires driver loading during use. If the USB flash drive or phone is occasionally not recognized, try reconnecting it by unplugging and plugging it back in. If the USB flash drive is not used for a long time, unplug it promptly to prevent accelerated aging of the USB flash drive. Additionally, the host system frequently reads and writes to the USB flash drive, which may affect the host's operating speed. When the vehicle is on a bumpy road, vibrations may cause an unstable USB connection, leading to disconnection. Please wait patiently for the system to reconnect or try reconnecting the USB flash drive or phone by unplugging and plugging it back in.

Last time I drove my BYD Song, I also ran into the issue of the USB not recognizing the flash drive, which was really frustrating. It might be due to the wrong format—BYD systems prefer FAT32, while formats like exFAT or NTFS simply won’t read. A flash drive with too large a capacity can also cause problems; anything over 32GB tends to act up, so try switching to a smaller 16GB one. Dust buildup in the port can block contact—cleaning it with an alcohol-dipped cotton swab often helps. System software bugs are common too; restarting the infotainment system or visiting a 4S shop for a firmware update might fix it. Don’t overlook issues with the flash drive itself—format and check it on a computer, and if the file system is corrupted, just replace it with a new one. Always use high-quality branded flash drives and avoid filling them up too much to prevent mid-drive failures that could affect driving safety. If all else fails, get a professional to check the circuit to avoid wasting time on guesswork.

What to Do When the Car Central Control Screen Frequently Restarts Automatically?

If the car central control screen keeps restarting, first check if any buttons were pressed incorrectly and perform a restart operation. Insufficient battery voltage or issues with the relay in the fuse box can also cause the central control screen to restart repeatedly, and replacement may be necessary if needed. Specific steps: 1. Restart: Use a paperclip or toothpick, something relatively hard, and press the RST hole (reset button) on the central control screen to restore it to its initial state. This is similar to restoring a computer system. 2. Visit a 4S Shop: If the central control screen keeps restarting due to insufficient battery voltage or relay issues in the fuse box, it is best to leave it to a 4S shop or auto repair shop for handling.

Is There a Problem If the Car Shakes When Wading Through Water Without Stalling?

Generally speaking, if the car doesn't stall when wading through water, there should be no problem. Here are the specific details of the related content: 1. Inspection: If the water depth has already exceeded half of the tire, it may endanger the entire vehicle's electrical system and the onboard computer, so it's best to conduct an inspection. When just exiting the water area, apply the brakes slightly to dry the brake pads by friction. It's advisable to check whether the air filter, fuel filter, and battery have been submerged or dampened. 2. Reason: The exhaust has outward pressure, so under normal driving conditions, it won't backflow. The reason the car shakes when water enters the intake is that while the car is moving, the water is not flat but wavy, causing intermittent blockage and release, which leads to restricted air intake. After stalling, a self-check will reveal an intake fault, and the engine fault light will come on.
