Problems about can’t play music in Ford F-150 from USB
I have the latest software upgrade in the stereo and F-150 says that there are no media files available. Am I doing something wrong?
The USB flash drive is new. The Ford F-150 doesn’t recognize all my songs, I can only listen to a few songs. How to solve the problem gives me a bad headache.
The songs in the USB device are not recognized by the car stereo. My truck is F-150
Ford F-150 is among the most popular truck products. It uses SYNC system. Having undergone a redesign in 2021, the core Ford F-150 lineup sees minimal changes for 2023. The truck continues to offer a wide range of drivetrain options, high towing and payload capabilities, and a comfortable modern interior.
The biggest news for 2023 is inarguably the new Raptor R. It takes the inherent off-road chops of the Raptor but ditches the turbocharged V6 in favor of the Shelby GT500’s monstrously powerful supercharged V8.
While the Raptor R sits at the top of the F-150’s off-road hierarchy, a new Rattler package adds capability at the bottom of the lineup. Available for the base XL trim, the Rattler brings the contents of the FX4 off-road package plus a set of knobby all-terrain tires.
Listening to music while driving is a common thing, as it not only alleviates the atmosphere inside the car, but also makes the boring driving process more exciting. For example, listen to some popular rock songs you like. It’s a pity that Ford F-150 doesn’t support all the audio types. The SYNC can only read MP3, WMA, WAV and ACC from USB flash drive. However, sometimes the Ford F-150 doesn’t accept a USB drive. The main reason for this is the USB file system format. If the format isn’t supported, it won’t come on SYNC. There is also a possibility that the F-150 doesn’t support the audio formats and codecs, resulting in the F-150 being unable to successfully play the music files on the USB flash drive. After multiple tests, MP3 is the best audio format supported by Ford F-150.
