Not sure you can mention logic and the Nissan head units in the same sentence without using a winking emoji

Not sure whether everybody is aware that as the head unit only uses FAT32 formatted and FAT32 on windows won't format a USB stick above 32Gb you need to use another tool to format the stick. Have a look here:

I'd forgotten that FAT32 limitation. Have tried NTFS and exFAT as well. The tool mentioned I tried last year on a post similar to this one....fail.

Yesterday I tested a Sandisk 64GB stick. No errors (as above) on this stick but it requires a 890ma power budget I note. Tried in the Nissan headunit...dead.

I'll repeat that all my USB sticks mentioned in tests work perfectly on Win10 (NTFS & FAT32)/Linux Mint (EXT4) . And thats with reported errors I have shown above.

At the moment this still looks like a headunit powering weakness. I have a 128GB Sandisk stick to test today...not expecting success.

Update all the 8BG SanDisk Cruzer Blade works!!!! So happy, thank you all for your tests, input and advice!! Folder view is pretty cool too as I split my music by months/years so that was important me.

Very pleased to hear that. I've ceased testing the headunit because its either design limited or faulty. A headunit replacement is at the upper end of looney tunes particularly as regards cost.
