Problem playing audio from USB
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2021 10:01 am
I've owned my Honda E (ex dealer demo) for about 5 month's now and allthough I love everything about it, I had nothing but trouble playing audio (MP3) over USB.
No matter what USB stick I try, once playing audio from USB and pressing the voice command button on the steering wheel the whole audio systems hangs and can only brought back to live by restarting the car. But from there, even while not playing music at all a simple push on the voice command button on the steering wheel freezes everyting up again. Also, once the initial freeze has ocurred there are no more spoken directions while navigating, not even after a restart of the car. Only a full factory reset clears the problem for good. That is, until I play music again over USB and then every starts all over again!
I have taken the car to the dealer and all they did was another factory reset to clear the problem again and adviced me to use Bluetooth audio instead. However this doesn't offer the same level of comfort and besisdes, this is no solution to the problem. Now I have tried several USB sticks, 32GB, 16 GB, and 8GB, and limited the amount of songs to under a thousand but the problem just re-occurs. I even tried an old iPod touch (16GB) with the same amount of audiofiles but alas, the same result.
Now at this stage I don't expect much of my dealer anymore. They seems quit happy letting me sort out this problem myself. So I now have my hope pinned on the combined knowledge of this forum, and maybe some of you can answer me these questions:
- Is anyone experiencing the same problems?
- To anyone who plays audio over USB: what USB stick are you using (capacity and brandname / type)?
- What is the largest number of audiofiles that can be played, or can be played within a single folder?
Any help would be nuch appreciated!
