the USB drive into your car and getting a message to update it, an error message then says to insert the USB drive, and you can't get past it. The solution is actually to use a USB drive that is recognized as "USB Drive" in "My computer". If it shows up as Local Drive, your car won't see it as a USB drive either. The solution is to get another USB drive. I believe it has something to do with windows compliance standards, whether your memory stick shows up as USB Drive or Local Drive.
Thanks for this. I will add to the 1st post
