Help Needed To Play A Video From The Rear Entertainment: What USB Format?

[nadalfan137]

Hi, everyone!

I want to play a video from the rear entertainment, so I read the manual (twice... ) to make it happen. It doesn't specify what format the USB driver needs to be in.
1. Should it be FAT32 or NTFS?
2. Also, do you think the size matter? (regarding the USB, of course).
3. Does it matter the movie file type (mkv, mp4, MOV)?
Some help would help because the manual is good for nothing in this case...

Ty!

The Uconnect system works well with these:

USB types are either FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS

For the file types: (*.wav), (*.mp3), (*.wma), (*.aac), (*.m4a or m4b) file extensions

And yes, USB size does matter, it all comes down on what you’re using it for. You can go with 32GB or 128GB USB sticks.

Just stick with MP4 or MOV. Also, not all systems support 128GB usb sticks. But try everything you got, haha!

I appreciate it @lakebball89 and @Cars&$$$! I have done as you suggested and have no issues right now. Do you guys use play videos during road trips?

Not so often, especially if there is a long trip. I want to drive with prudency, without being distracted. I listen to music, though!
