What are the steps to play music from a USB drive in a Cadillac XT6?
3 Answers
After connecting the USB drive to the USB port in the Cadillac CT6, open the music player on the central control display. If the player recognizes the audio files on the USB drive, you can then play the music. The car's USB port can be used for functions such as reading USB drive information for the car's entertainment system and charging mobile phones.
When I drive my Cadillac XT6, I also enjoy playing music from a USB drive, and the steps are quite simple. First, find a USB drive with an appropriate capacity, preferably within 32GB, format it to FAT32, and directly copy MP3 or FLAC music files into it. After getting in the car, open the center console where there are two USB ports—either one will work. The infotainment screen will automatically detect the new device. If it doesn’t, just tap the multimedia icon at the bottom of the screen and select the USB option under media sources. The screen will then display the folders on the USB drive—tap to open and view all songs, then select the one you want to play. The multifunction buttons on the right side of the steering wheel allow you to skip tracks and adjust the volume effortlessly. If the USB drive isn’t recognized, check the format or try a different one, as poor-quality drives with loose connections can sometimes cause issues.
Playing music via USB drive on the XT6 is quite convenient. Prepare a small-capacity USB drive, format it to FAT32, copy your music files, and plug it into the USB port in the center console. After a short wait, the media icon at the bottom left of the infotainment screen will light up—tap it to switch to USB mode. A playlist will then appear on the screen; swipe to select your desired track and tap to play. Dedicated media control buttons are located below the right side of the steering wheel, allowing easy track switching while driving. If unresponsive, simply reinsert the USB drive or restart the vehicle to resolve the issue. Organizing songs into separate folders is recommended for easier navigation. The XT6 supports FLAC lossless format, delivering noticeably better audio quality than Bluetooth. Regularly clean up unnecessary files on the USB drive to maintain optimal read speeds.
