Groundpounder Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I plugged a USB flash drive into my car, and I got a message that says "USB requires too much power, please remove". I had a different USB flash drive that worked just fine. Any idea why I am getting this message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundpounder Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 So, after doing some research, turns out not working with car entertainment systems is a known issue with this particular flash drive. Yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Some brands of jump drives have LEDS that draw too much power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundpounder Posted September 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Which drive was having the problem? Sandisk Ultra Fit 64gb USB3.0. I ordered the Samsung equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I could be wrong, but I didnt think that you could use a USB 3 memory stick in these audio systems. USB 3 is a much different animal than the older USB 2 and 1 memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB 3 is a much different animal than the older USB 2 and 1 memories. That is possible, the stick that worked fine for me was a USB 2.0. The manual didn't say anything one way or another. I have another 3.0 flash drive that I can try that I am using for extra storage on my laptop. Edit: The other USB 3.0 flash drive I have works fine.

The device, even though USB 3, will dumb down to 2 or even 1 when negotiating with the Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Oh, ok. I've had trouble using USB 3 drives in my Dell's USB 2 ports (don't work and Dell states USB 3 drives 'must' be used on USB 3 ports.) Wasnt aware that a USB 3 drive would change to USB 2. (USB 2 works ok on a standard USB port, but it slows the entire USB system to standard USB. In my curreny comuter, I have this problem, ran out of USB 2 ports and had to use sto USB ports. Everything on USB 2 system switched to std speed. Didn't think this could happen with USB 3 drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
