USB in the armrest?

[Trillionz]

I have searched the site for it but can't find anything. I have looked in the books that came with the car and still nothing.

Is it for power only?

I have just been out to the car with a USB drive loaded with music and when I select AUX on the Blaupunkt it is greyed out and I'm unable to select.

Car is a 2.0 tdci titanium 2009.

Thanks!

I could be wrong but do you not have a USB option? On my MK3 I have a centre console USB but can play music from a stick through my headunit but I have to choose USB not AUX

Mine has CD/AUX when I press it it complains a few times about no disc but then comes up with iPhone,USB, AUX, and only the AUX is selectable.

is it really a 128gb ? a lot of fakes have 128gb but are only 8gb .ive bought loads that where like that .you can test them with software .

Yep 128. Got over 200 albums on it. Lexar, bought from my memory £24. Tried a smaller one which worked fine, so thought I would chance it and go for broke. Took a while to fill it up as had to change a lot of files to MP3 bit really pleased with the outcome. Most show album sleeves too.

im not saying its full .if say its only 8gb say and they have changed it to show as a 128gb. when you try and put say 10gb on it it will crash and yu loose every thing on it

i have four 128gb Samsung cards here but they are only 8gb .they are fakes .it took me ages to find a genuine one and upset a lot of eBay sellers

Yeah it's very easy to come across fake usbs, sd cards and the like.

eBay and amazon are rife with cheap Chinese fakes. One 32gb one I ordered some years ago when 16 was about the biggest widely available (should have known!) showed up on my computer as being a 64 petabyte drive! Needless to say it didn't work. 

I've bought from mymemory as well and it's been excellent stuff every time.
