I proceeded to format the sdcard in the head unit using the utility. After copying over some files (mp3 and jpg) I still receive the message invalid directory or file format. I tried to access the files using file explorer and found that when I click on an mp3 file there is a message that the system is unable to play this type of file. The audio files are mp3 and I tested them on my PC before putting the sd card into the head unit. After I removed the card from the head unit and tried it on my PC the files would not play. The scdard is a Toshiba 128GB.
I also have two Samsung 64GB sdcards, one is an EVO and the other EVO Plus. I formatted both cards in the head unit then put them in the PC to copy over some test mp3 files. The WIndows PC gave a message that the sdcards have errors and scan the drive now to fix it. I ignored that and copied over some mp3 files to test. Tried both Samsung 64GB cards in the head unit and get the message invalid path or audio files. I put one sdcard back into the PC and I get the message 'This file isn’t playable. That might be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file is corrupt'. I put the second card in and clicked to scan and fix. It said that no errors were found. After that, I still cannot play the mp3 file on the PC.
Not sure what file format the head unit uses but on Windows it's formatted exFAT with a default allocation size of 128 kilobytes.
Any ideas what might be the problem?Statistics: Posted by ruasonid — Fri Jan 03, 2020 11:50 am
