Adding a Hard Drive to a JVC kd-g720

[Evan8482]

Hi I'm new to the forums and was hoping some of you guys could lend me a hand with some knowledge. I recently bought a jvc kd-g720 with usb support on the head unit. The user's manual says that the unit only supports up to 4g of hard drive space, so basically small flash drives. I have read other places that people are using 60g, 20g, 15g, and so on with this same unit but none tell how to exceed the 4g limit. I tried doing this with a 2.5 Western Digital 60g hard drive from Best Buy, but it doesn't even attempt to read it. I tried reformatting it to differnt types like Fat16 and even NTFS (it was originally in Fat32) but nothing works, so I thought it might not be getting enough power through the head unit usb port to power the 2.5" hard drive. I got a power adapter went back out and tried it, but nothing seems to work.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

According to my JVC Rep, you can only use flash memory on the 720. The JVC does not have an operating system to support any other type. That's why anything above the Ipod Nano will not work. Sorry, flash memory is all you can use.
