I just plugged mine into one of the USB ports under the radio and it works fine.

According to the manual, it needs to be the left hand slot - the right one is only for charging

That would be correct on the pre facelift

From the FL manual :-

"There are 2 USB ports (1 & 2) equipped to both sides of the 12V front console power socket. The USB 1 port can provide a 5V voltage when serving as a power outlet, or realize data transmission. It can also provide ‘Vehicle-Mobile Phone Interconnection’ function. The USB 2 port can only provide 5V voltage serving as a power outlet."

Perhaps it’s the facelift. Neither port work with the stick

Doesn’t Seem to work on the facelift

I cannot find any reference in the manual. Could you tell me which page?

How is the stick formatted, I believe it needs to FAT32 or exFAT. NTFS does not work.

 

[Walter Hottclebottle]

Thanks for your reply,
it is a little beyond my comprehension I’m afraid but I will try and format it with Fat32.

Shame about the exFAT, can't help beyond that sadly.

Yes I was. Up in the gods behind the goal(ish), unexpectedly excellent view. Got home via train to Leeds about midnight. A good day out marred only by......

I too have USB stiks in both NTFS and exFAT. Have tried online conversion programs but no luck to date. PITA really for what should be a plug and play, never had any issues in previous 21 plate Megane and 17 plate Renault Trafic.

I thought FAT32 was the required format but maybe wrong.

Worth a try though.
