Hi,

I have just bought a 2012 Focus Titanium X and it doesn't pick up the USB stating the above message.

 

Has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve it?

 

TIA

    It's FAT32.

    fat32 should be ok, try reformatting the stick with HPUSBDisk and try again.

    In June 2012 Ford superseded the old Bluetooth/Voicecontrol connectivity system by the SYNC 1.0 connectivity system.

    Which of these connectivity systems does the car have?
    Does the Bluetooth functionality still work?
    Does the Voicecontrol functionality still work?
    Does the AUX input still work?

    Next to the USB functionality all of the other functions mentioned above are controlled by the Bluetooth/Voicecontrol or APIM (SYNC) module. If only the USB functionality is not working the problem will most likely be the USB drive (especially on the Bluetooth/Voicecontrol system not all USB drives are supported. If reformatting the drive does not work it is recommended to try another FAT32 formatted USB drive. If several of the functions mentioned above are not working it is most likely a hardware problem.
