Usb Memory Stick Mp3 Problems

The mk7 Fiesta doesn't need a radio code, it's somehow tied into the VIN of the car (I believe the first time it's powered on it becomes locked to the car). Regarding the manual, it should be part of the main handbook rather than a separate book like older Fords.

Thanks for the above advice. Took my car to my local dealer, Hendys, today and was told that it'll need a stereo software update - only problem is that'll have to be booked in again at another branch which has the necessary equipment for the job (!)

In meantime I'll see if reformatting my micro SD card once more, then reinstalling my MP3s, might fix the job for the moment - if only intermittently.. :-S

i had this problem with my fiesta titanium and finally found out how to fix it, Ford1 to 10 is correct but you need to update your system on the ford website: http://www.ford-mobi...ownloadsUpdates then follow the instructions, make sure when you extract the files to your USB that they are the up most visible files, do not put them in to a folder, and then follow the installation instructions that they have provided, enjoy switching through playlists with voice control.

Most car MP3 players have problems when the MP3 files have not been properly tagged. To be technical, they try to display the ID3V1 tags, and most files you download use ID3V2 or APE standards, or a mix.

Also: not all characters used in artists names or song titles can be displayed.

This small utility BLUMEUSB does the following:

- it de-clutters the MP3 files and makes free space on the drive.
- tags are rewritten in the ID3V1 format, others deleted.
- the overall sound level is adjusted (no sudden surprises while driving)

It was develeoped for the Fiat500 onboard system but will be useful for other systems as well.

There is a free download at http://www.fiat500soft.com

Hi Everyone, same issue, can anyone help

- Gone through master reset or SYNC,

- Reformatted USB stick (Kingston 32GB https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Technology-DataTraveler-Flash-Drive/dp/B00SOL9Z1M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465045873&sr=8-2&keywords=kingston

- USB stick was already FAT32, so tried again, no change

- USB Works fine on my mums Honda CRV.

- I own a - Fiesta, 1.0 Zetec Ecoboost 2016 - first time a tried to use it, doesn't work. Don't expect that from a new car I would have thought.

I had never used the USB input on my Fiesta but, having seen this thread, I decided to give it a try.   I bought three Cruzerblade 8GB memory sticks off amazon and put a few .mp3 files on one.   Plugged it in and it worked first time.   I reformatted the memory sticks to get rid of the software that comes with them.

Is it connected via usb or aux?
If via usb maybe it isn't mesnt to play that way, if via aux is the connection firm and volume on the player turned up to max?
