I'm able to connect an old iPod to one of the 2 USB ports just fine - BUT - I'm trying to move off of iOS altogether - and need to know what software I need to "enable" a standard USB drive to be seen/read by Mazda Connect.
I did buy a different mobile player (HIDIZS AP-60 - not iOS) and it works fine too - but pricey and it seems like I should be able to just connect a USB drive with standard media files (and formats). When I try that, Mazda Connect doesn't recognize the drive (let alone the folders/files).
Does the USB drive need to be "bootable?" In other words - does the USB drive need an actual Operating System over and above just having media files in a directory structure?
