Brand New Insight--No USB Audio?

johnterendy · 08-08-2010, 12:04 AM

Just got our 2010 Insight EX Navi! The car is wonderful but for the life of me I can't get the USB to recognize any of my USB drives. I am using Mac OS 10.6
and I even formatted the drive as a MS-DOS (FAT) thinking that maybe it didn't like Mac OS. If I hook my iPhone up to the USB it recognizes it instantly. How can I get the USB to recognize a Flash Drive? Thanks!

I believe the size is limited to 16gb, plus you need some mp3s on there. I just copy them from my itune folder to save memory on my itouch for more downloading.

I have used the san cruz with the blinking orange LED as well as HP ones from Staples.

I just tried a 2gb Verbatim that was formatted on a Windows PC and it works.
I think that the Honda USB might not like the fact that my USB drive was formatted on a Mac. Has anyone used a Mac USB drive with their Insight?

Got it to work with Mac OSX. You have to use Disk Utility and partition the USB drive to MS-DOS Fat 32.

My massive 64gig flash works just fine in my Insight EX...

Got iphone 3g with OS 4.1 to work after balking initially.
Can't get my wife's Sansa 280e to interface at all - just gets "unsupported". Anybody have experience, fixes, or not possible replies?
