What formats does the Atenza USB drive support?
2 Answers
The Atenza USB drive supports the FAT32 file system format. In most cases, while car USB drives may support other formats on computers, other external devices only support the FAT32 file system format. Therefore, when using a USB drive to listen to music in a car, it must be formatted to FAT32; otherwise, it cannot be read. 1. Exterior: The front grille still features a shield design with a honeycomb pattern inside, giving the overall visual appearance a more refined and sporty feel. 2. Interior: The overall changes are not significant, but details have been optimized to enhance the vehicle's sense of quality. The air vents in the new Atenza have become flatter and are positioned higher, while the air conditioning panel below has fewer buttons, resulting in a cleaner visual effect. 3. Powertrain: It is equipped with two naturally aspirated engines, a 2.0L and a 2.5L.
I often use a USB drive to listen to music in my Mazda6 (Atenza). The supported file systems are mainly FAT32, and occasionally exFAT is also compatible, but never use NTFS format—the system won't recognize it and issues may occur. In terms of music formats, MP3 is the most basic, while WMA and AAC have been tested and work perfectly. Higher-end models might support FLAC lossless files, but MP3 sounds perfectly clear in regular cars. It's recommended to use a USB drive with 8GB to 32GB capacity—larger ones may load slower, affecting playback smoothness. When downloading music, ensure files are placed in the root directory or a 'Music' folder on the USB drive, avoiding multi-level nesting for easier system scanning. Regularly format the USB drive to maintain cleanliness, reduce the chance of errors, and ensure uninterrupted music enjoyment while driving.
