2 Answers
The reason why the Lynk & Co 01 cannot read the USB drive is due to incorrect USB drive format, improper placement of songs, or a damaged USB drive. Here are some tips for using a USB drive: How to open a USB drive: Insert the USB drive without powering on, then power on the vehicle, navigate to MEDIA settings to locate the USB drive, click to read, and then select the desired music for playback. Difference between car USB drives and regular USB drives: There is no difference in the core chip between car USB drives and regular USB drives; regular USB drives can also be used as car USB drives. Choose the correct audio file format.
I've encountered many cases of USB drive reading failures, with the USB drive itself being the most common issue. For example, the format may not be supported. The Lynk & Co 01 system mostly recognizes only FAT32 or exFAT formats, so if you're using NTFS, it might not read. Or the USB drive might be damaged—try a new one on your computer first; if it works, the issue is with the car's system. Also, check if the USB port is clogged with dust—clean it gently and reconnect. Sometimes, the car's infotainment system may freeze; try restarting the vehicle. In the Lynk & Co 01's central control screen settings, there's usually a media reset option—restoring factory settings often fixes the issue. If it's a hardware fault, like port wear or poor wiring contact, it's best to visit a 4S shop for diagnosis early to prevent worsening and affecting other functions. Don’t ignore minor issues; addressing them promptly ensures a more worry-free driving experience.
