    '16 F6B Radio > Aux > USB issue

    Since day one of owning my F6B Deluxe, I've had a small USB Flash Drive connected to the USB plug (on a wire) in the left-side saddlebag for playing MP3 files (music). During my ride today -- after years of no issues -- the songs kept stopping and restarting for a few seconds and then would outright stop. Switched to FM radio... sound is fine. Switch back to AUX > USB and nada.

    Back from ride... bike is parked and tried a different Flash Drive and the same thing. So guessing it isn't a "vibration/wire loose" thing.

    Suggestions on how to proceed with troubleshooting or does someone know what is going on and how to resolve the issue?

    EDIT: Spent more time searching the "net" and found some instructions on formatting the USB Flash Drive. I tried the FAT32 format (instead of standard FAT (default) -- which is how the other Drives were formatted) and that seems to have solved the problem. We'll see how tomorrow's ride goes and if the muzak will play-on without interruption.
