Default Flash Drive Capacity

Hello. What is the Largest capacity of USB flash drive I can use on a 2020 limited stock Boom system? I have a rather large library of music, and the iPhone that I normally use for CarPlay and music (is set up for storage only) is dying off. Id like to just use a flash drive to mix my tunes.

I believe it is 64 GB. I currently use an 8GB and still have plenty of room.

32GB formatted to FAT32 is the safe bet. Some have gotten 64GB to work if formatted FAT32, but the Boom system gets glitchy with anything larger. Stick with a quality brand like SanDisk or Samsung, not a no-name one.

Another question:

I am using a 128GB flash drive with 30GB of music shown. roughly 2300 songs. My display when using this is the same as the picture below. However, as shown in the picture below, I've lost the clock. In it's place, as seen on the lower left corner, is a timer which only shows how long the ignition/Accessory has been on, which returns to 00:00 when I restart the bike. It does not show the current clock time. It only works once I get out of the Aux screen. But then, I don't get to use the flash drive. Does anyone know how to adjust this so it tells time like a normal clock?
