  • If you bought a Pioneer radio, and it is not recognizing the USB when plugged in, try this!
    First, make sure you have a USB that is formatted to FAT32. Then go to the settings menu that you see in the video.

    Also, FAT32 is typically limited to 32GB, but that's only an arbitrary filesystem limitation set by recent versions of Win8 and above. ACTUALLY, it's possible to format FAT32 up to 14TB, using a utility called Fat32 Format for Windows. I tested it using a 128GB card, and it sees it all.

    Great video man. Pioneer don't make double DIN head units like they use to. About 10yrs ago, the older double DIN Pioneer head units were capable of reading any audio/video formats via USB without having to format or reduce the quality of the media file just to play music music and videos.

    Try this. Format your pen drive to fat32 file system by selecting format option from your windows PC. Add mp3. It will get recognized automatically ( in case your stereo does not have options shown in the video). I tried a lot and finally this one worked for me.

    I put a AVH-X2800BS In my Expedition 3-4 years ago. Everything was great for a few years untill the 1st time I paired up my cell phone because the hands free law went in to effect. USB port never worked again. I actually bought another unit to replace it (much cheaper since 2 years had passed). Same thing, it quit working after I paired my Galaxy S10+. I had put the old one on the shelf. I wanted a back up cam in my Excursion, so I installed it, It even retained all the presets and my Cell phone. No USB. Thanks again, I pressed 1 button and USB is there on both my Vehicles.
