What formats does the Cadillac USB drive support?

[LeilaAnn]

Cadillac USB drives support formats such as mp3, wma, aac, wav, and flac. During the music transfer process, the CIC host converts the original mp3 and other format files into br5 format files and stores them on the host hard drive. The br5 format files cannot be recognized by ordinary computer players, which is designed to prevent user privacy leakage. The XTS is a large and medium-sized sedan under SAIC General Motors Cadillac. Taking the Cadillac XTS 2018 28T Luxury model as an example, its body dimensions are 5103mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1502mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2837mm. The body adopts a 4-door, 5-seat sedan structure with a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters.

I just bought a Cadillac XT5, and playing music via USB drive works great. Generally, it supports USB drives in FAT32 format, like my 32GB SanDisk drive which is recognized without any issues. The compatible music formats include MP3, WMA, and FLAC—lossless audio is perfect for long drives. However, note that exFAT might not work; I tried a 64GB exFAT drive and the system gave an error, but reformatting it to FAT32 fixed the issue. For capacity, drives up to 128GB usually work fine, but larger ones like 256GB might cause lag. Organizing files into folders makes browsing easier, and avoid using Chinese names to prevent garbled text. By the way, regularly updating the car’s system can improve compatibility—checking the manual first when you get a new car saves hassle. Using a USB drive for audio is more stable than Bluetooth, and the background music at night creates an amazing atmosphere.

I've been driving a Cadillac CT6 for years at my age, often using a USB drive to listen to some light music. The supported format is mainly FAT32, with a recommended standard capacity of 32GB or 64GB—anything larger can be cumbersome. Music files like MP3 and WMA play smoothly, and I've tested AAC without issues. If there's no response after inserting the USB, first check if it's formatted to FAT32 or try another USB to test for connection problems. Keep filenames short to avoid confusion, as the system reads them a bit slowly but can handle it. Maintenance is simple—regularly defragment the USB to prevent lag. The sound quality is clear while driving, making long trips less tiring. I've also discussed this with friends, and compatibility varies slightly across different car models, with newer cars being more flexible. Overall, practicality is key, but safe driving is even more important.

Used to playing old songs from a USB drive in my Cadillac, and it works well with FAT32 format. Music formats like MP3 and WMA are all supported. My 16GB USB drive is sufficient for storing songs. Just plug it into the USB port, and the system automatically recognizes it, making song selection easy. If it doesn't work, it might be due to incorrect USB format or poor contact. My kid helped me reformat it, and it worked fine afterward. The operation is simple, no need for much technical knowledge, and the cheerful music makes driving more enjoyable. I've also tried CDs, but USB drives are more convenient. For safety, don't exceed 64GB capacity.
