What to Do When Corolla Fails to Recognize USB Drive?
2 Answers
Corolla's failure to recognize a USB drive is generally due to issues with the USB drive itself. Check the USB drive's format: it should be in FAT32 file system and not exceed 16GB. This format can only play MP3 and WMA files below 320K; other formats will be displayed but not played. Additional information about the Corolla is as follows: 1. The Corolla, formerly known as the 'Corolla' in some markets, is a sedan produced by Toyota. 2. The Corolla features a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body structure, with dimensions of 4635*1780*1455mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 152mm. 3. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension is an E-type multi-link independent suspension. 4. The Corolla is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum torque of 185Nm, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
I often encounter the issue of my USB drive not being recognized when I plug it into my Corolla, which is really annoying. Possible reasons for the USB drive not being recognized include: First, the USB drive itself might be faulty—try it on other devices like a computer or a friend's car; if it doesn't work, replace it with a new one. Second, the USB port can easily accumulate dust, causing poor contact. I found that gently cleaning it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol works well. There's also the format issue—the Corolla system only recognizes USB drives formatted in FAT32, so check the format and reformat it on a computer if necessary. Lastly, try restarting the car's system: turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and then start it again. If multiple tests fail, the port might be damaged or there could be an issue with the car's infotainment system—it's best to get it checked at a 4S shop to avoid wasting driving time. Remember to clean the port regularly and avoid using high-capacity USB drives to prolong its lifespan.
