Infotainment System Doesn't Recognize New Flash Drive
This is the stock GT head unit for a 2016 CVO Street Glide. I like listening to music that is on my thumb drive. I copied the music from the thumb drive to a new 64 flash drive, one of the real small ones. Same content on both drives. The system doesn't recognize the flash drive. They songs play when I plug it into the computer. Any ideas? Is there a size limitation on the capacity of the flash drive even though you only use a small part of it? Thanks.

looking at the big book of Boom it supports pretty much all formats...
personally I'd try a smaller size or different brand (doesn't say there is a limit in the good book) and I know I ran SANDISK 128GB & 256GB back in the day (a wednesday) and the reindexing drove me nuts so I switched to running a SANDISK Ultra 32GB.
In the end I got so frustrated with issues and lack of reliable NAV that I junked the boom for Sony and now I run the HDHU14+
USB drive (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS+) or SD card
Direct connection to USB port. USB con- nector and reader required for SD card.
MP3, MP4, MPEG- 4 AAC, M4A, M4B, WAV, WMA
May support find features. NTFS-format- ted drives can only be used for read-only functions (such as playing media). NTFS drives will not support functions like trip/trail exports or navigation database updates.

How much time are you giving it? It is not instant with a new larger drive, takes a few minutes to read and process. It should however show up and an option for being a source, it will just say "reading" (or something similar). After the drive is read for the 1st time it is then much faster on start-up. If it doesn't show as a source option then it's an incompatible drive, use a quality one like sandisk micro's and just, the chiwanese speacials off amazon are notoriously picky nin what they work in.

I think I found the problem. The only choices for formatting the new dirve are exFAT (default) and NTFS. The old drive is FAT32. I guess that I can't use the new drive as a media device for my bike.

...and I've always used SanDisk Ultras in all sizes, because they are small, inconspicuous and I wouldn't lose sleep if a thieving monkey got a hold of it
