[QUOTE="Stück1532639107, post: 5951969, member: 610366"] Well... I thought I would post back now that I've heard from Alpine on the issue. Alpine states that the IDA-X305 does support USB flash drives, its not a "supported" feature however. It is a known issue that the head unit will only mix the first 150 or so files on the drive, regardless of how you attempt to arrange them. When questioned why their sales and technical literature, and own website state nothing of the sort, and go so far as to boast 10,000 files/1,000 folders supported via USB flash.. they have no answer. In short Alpine does not care that they are falsely advertising features on a product, and will not do a single thing to help me out. I'm now stuck with a headunit that I purchased on the sole basis of using a USB flash drive with it, as it was advertised to do, when it does not. I can't count how many Alpine headunits I have had over the years... but rest assured I need not add another one to the list ever again. [/QUOTE]
