Usb and Blutooth help please

Stevese90 · 11-07-2012, 02:29 PM

Hi guys just a couple of questions any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all i have a 320d ed lci 2010 model and i am having problems with my usb drive as it plays music for a few seconds then automatically turns off and takes time reloading and plays and cuts off sometimes it does not even reload and goes to the radio. i am using some cheap 4gb Usb flash drive called intenso bought from maplin is this the problem do you thing i need a better usb flash drive as i have formatted it to fat32 but it still seems to have the same problem. can anyone recommend me a good stable USB flash drive dont need it to have that much space 4-8GB will do.

Second of all my car does not have bluetooth from what i have read i already have the ULF in the boot and i have double checked and it has it. So basically would i only need the blootooth antenna and the microphone and the neccesary wiring and would my deck (proffesional)need to be coded as it does not have a tele option in the menu.

I'd try another stick - perhaps the transfer speed is too low?

Do you have an iPod you can try?

I have the same problem, tried a number of different USB sticks and had the same issue so I just give up and bought a cheap second hand ipod and I have had no issues with this setup.
