Hey everyone,

Im trying to figure out why my head deck doesnt want to accept usb sticks, ive plugged in a cable from the back of the unit around to the centre console and the 3 usb's ive used wont show up...all the deck tells me is that there is "no usb device", the only thing that happened is that my imation usb (with inbuilt LED) flashed a few times...WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? lol.

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

does it have usb input, I thought the plugs that went around the back on alpines were for ipods and iphones.

What partition type are the USB sticks?

Looks like they need to be Fat 32.

it does have a usb input, theres a seperate plug for iphones etc. and justdofit: thanks mate i had no idea there were different "partition types," looks like i have some reading to do

Never had an issue with partition types, but the extension cable's don't sit firmly in alpine's USB cable. Try another cable.

All of my USB sticks have been FAT32 straight out of the box,it's usually only larger external HDD's (64GB+) that are NTFS

i think it may be a cable issue, my usbs were all FAT32 formatted
