Hi,

 

Was trying to find some specific answers, but hoped someone could help - I'm not so techiie, so please be kind. This all started from trying to utilise the features on the car!!

 

I have a 1.5TSI 7 Seater 2020 plate Kodiaq (not sure of entertainment system variant!). Long of it is, I have an Honor 8 (Huawei) phone that is simply not recognised at all for AA - I can see on the web, that this seems to be an issue for lots of people. So, I've given up on that.

 

I have all my music on Youtube Music, so that was quite cool through Bluetooth ... but I use Waze, so every time that talks, it cuts the sound. So, I've bought a usb stick (KEXIN USB C Flash Drive 64GB Dual OTG USB C) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PV6NZVW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)  - I am yet to load music to it and try it. BUT ...

 

Sorry, long winded but if I leave this plugged in will it draw power? I know the sockets are live even with engine switched off, hence why I'm not so keen on my ipod being plugged in and in plain sight. So, thought maybe a very discreet USB stick might be the solution, but don't want to drain the battery (obvs I can take it out each time - but I thought I would ask the question).

Thanks so much, I feel I have this amazing car - but am completely under-utilising the entertainment / computer system. Of course, it's also annoying that I have the SOS issue and then you can't use anything!!

I have a usb with my music on and leave it plugged in all the time with no issues.

No, it will not draw power as it is just a slave device. No charging, no nothing. And even if it did, 5W consumption the USB is capable of, is nothing.

 

Besides, USB sockets stay alive only for 10 - 15 minutes or so after turning ignition off.

Only things that are alive all the time are the cigarette lighter sockets.

 

Thank you, I didnt realise the USB C sockets turned off... I have a double USB adaptar in the cigarette lighter which I currently use for phones... So thought they were all active. 

Excuse ignorance - is this correct? All my files are MP3, I read "Also make sure the USB card or SD card is correct. This would include the formatting of the media, if under 32mb use FAT32 or if above ExFAT". So mine woudl be ExFat??

 

Thanks

exFAT or even better NTFS.

Thanks
