Hi all, I bought my 5 series a week ago, and i'm loving it. It's my first ev. The only thing I can't solve is the usb music rescanning all my files (64 gig - 5k files) every time the car is turned on. Is there a special way to structure the usb stick? (tried formatting ntfs/fat etc... no help). It plays the songs fine when the scan is done but it just takes ages to start playing each time.
 
I don't think I ever used that feature sorry. If worst comes to worst you could put a selection on a smaller stick so it starts faster?

Mine does the same. It also did it in my MG4.
 
I've found the menu system way better in the S5 - starting up the music on a USB stick in the MG4 defaulted with the entire song list starting, rather than the previous song I'd played. Moving around the menu system on the MG4 was clumsy - I think the file reading system on the S5 is an improvement.
But yes, the USB gets scanned each time you start up, but at least it remembers the previous song played.
 
I have a USB stick connected to the socket nearest the driver, it scans when you turn the car on, i don't use it for audio, but i have a few movies loaded on to watch while charging, it remembers the last played point everytime.
