1. Have you deleted the hidden files on the USB drive? YES only by installing it in my windows laptop I was able to see those files and delete them manually. Basically I just bought a new USB key, had it formatted FAT32 first with my MAC, and second alternative my windows laptop from there I would download map files from my MAC to the key and either way my car wouldn't recognize the update. So I followed your suggestions for hidden files on MAC which I thank you again but there where no hidden files showing up. After all I plugged the USB key in my laptop again to see files and wow I was finally able to see those hidden files which my MAC created by duplicating the map files when I had them downloaded. I'm sure theres a way with MAC somehow to not run into this problem, seems to be originally from the MAC download to the USB key. Like a mentioned USB key is new and had it formatted several times LOL.

2. Do you have multiple USB ports in your car? NOT in my F31 Have you tried both?

Links that might help you.
