kenpoulsen Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hi I only had my Fiesta for 1 month.. but its a year old. i have problems everytime i want to play Things via USB... sometimes it just says "no usb device connected" or if it finds it, it plays between 6 and 20 seconds of a song then displays "usb device disconnected" then maby it helps turning radio off then on.. (and it does the same Again) ive triede 5 different usb-devices, different formats of the drive, and resetting the usb-module (by unpluging it below the glovebox) any good sugestions? (sorry English is not my native language, and new driver to ford) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Have you formatted the USB drive to FAT (NOT FAT32) and is your folder structure correct on the drive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpoulsen Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Should be.. I have tried. Fat Fat32 Ntfs Ex-fat music in the root music in folders Reset module (via radio), brother factory and Master reset. Removed fuse 13 and put back, also tried to disconnect module completly, and put back. All no difference... Sometimes it plays (Well for 6-20 seconds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmizz93 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Mine does the same, predominantly with iPhone but sometimes when I plug in my USB data stick with just music files on it.. Nothing seems to have worked so far.. Told ford about the issue and they 'couldn't replicate the fault' not sure what else to do!

Tiexen Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I had this on my 2015 Titanium - after a couple of weeks of resetting swapping and switching on and off it suddenly cleared - now I have a usb stick with 500 songs that plays fine - so give it more time. Try keeping the same stick in for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I wonder if it takes a while to read the stick, just saying as when i insert an MP3 cd and use voice control to change tracks the car tells me that the cd is empty yet if i let it play the first track for a short time it works ok.

Tiexen Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I haven't use mp3 CD's only usb sticks so can't comment on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenP Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It does have to catalog what is on the USB drive, but I just bought one of the really tiny 64gb drives and leave it plugged into the car except when I'm adding new music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpoulsen Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 So it NOT just me ;-)..... (But if i plug in phone i can see its NOT charging, but if it works those few seconds, it does charge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But if i plug in phone i can see its NOT charging, but if it works those few seconds, it does charge) I charge my phone from the cigar lighter with a usb adapter and use blutooth to connect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpoulsen Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I dont have music on my phone, hense i wanted to use the USB-drive. But the Sound via blu-tooth dont Sound good (my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiexen Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I dont have Music on my phone, hense i wanted to use the USB-drive. But the Sound via blu-tooth dont Sound good (my opinion) I don't know if the USB has enough power to recharge a phome - lighter + usb adapter is better for that - and it keeps the usb clear for the memory stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpoulsen Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Well i have now tried other cable ect. But found out its disconnects the USB aften 30 seconds after the radio is turnes on... No matter if Anthing is pluged in or NOT. Can i just replace the BT/USB module with another with the same part number? E.g. This from A fokus? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-B-Max-Bluetooth-Control-Module-D1BT-14D212-CC-/121617684895?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c50fa999f 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmizz93 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Same on mine. Not sure if a safety feature to stop anything shorting out or similar, just !Removed! annoying! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winemart2 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I had the same prob as the OP, not sure how it started to work. It seemed like a dicky usb connector at first, plug it in plug it out, sometimes it worked sometimes not. Now it works I leave the stick in. Also, when I first start the engine, the down volume doesn't work for maybe 30 secs, then it's ok. Even now, mp3's play ok but the display says initialising usb. Also, finally got my phone to pair. These toys eh? EDIT: just to add, Shell v-power has made zero difference to mpg (still 37) although poke seems 'cleaner/brighter' somehow. Or maybe I'm imagining it. .

kenpoulsen Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well i took the plunge and bought A replacement module.... Atleast then i know if its the radio or module... (Just hope the used module from A focus works without coding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbell Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well i took the plunge and bought A replacement module.... Atleast then i know if its the radio or module... (Just hope the used module from A focus works without coding) If you're talking about the bluetooth+usb module, it's best to have the donor car model match. Model can be updated (via IDS I think) if needed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpoulsen Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Well dont have access to IDS, Maby ill get A focom to see What that Can do.... AS i have A few other niggels that i normalt Can sort with opcom on my Opel Vectra C.. Code drl on the rear and A new key (dont know if that Can be coded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam900331 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hy! The USB port does it support to recharge my phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If you're still having problems playing music from USB, try this USB stick: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cruzer-Fit-Flash-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1431953776&sr=8-2&keywords=mini+usb+memory+stick+32gb I had a problem with it disconnecting with a different stick, but that Sandisk one works flawlessly. Hy! The USB port does it support to recharge my phone? It should recharge phones but I haven't tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I use a SanDisk Cruzer Switch stick and have never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpoulsen Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 I actually dont Think it Will help... When all power is cut to the USB-port in my car efter 30 seconds... That leads to 2 possibilities. 1 faulty module 2 Wrong programing, like its programered NOT to have USB (one bit needs changing in the asbuilt file) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlman Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Another vote here for Sandisk bought this one from Argos after having problems with other sticks. It comes already formatted to FAT32 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3395891.htm This one works great with no problems at all yet I have about 7000 songs on it!

Stoney871 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Only thing I find with my car is if you remove the stick and reinsert it then it starts indexing everything again. Until that finishes the system won't allow voice controls for selection and the music plays out of order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
