Hi,
I have the Navigation system as well as the regular stereo, not the Mark Levinson. I use the USB port for my flash drive which has music (mp3's) about 2000 songs. I have just been adding more music and now the "Browse" feature doesn't come up anymore.
I tried a new flash drive which I copied from the first one and the same thing happened, I can't browse.
When I put in another flash drive with let's say with 200 songs on it the "Browse" feature comes up right away. My question is what is the limit on the flash drive that I can use so that I can use the "Browse" feature? The original flash drive I have been using is 64gb.
I'm just thinking that 2000 songs is just too many for it to handle. Thanks for the help.

The car can handle 9999 songs. The problem is you have some non-MP3 file on your USB drive. It really stinks. Lexus can’t seem to ignore “bad files” and if it finds one, the whole things goes bonkers. That’s been my experience. I have 9999 songs and I had to write a macOS script that will “clean” my USB drive before ejecting it. I used to have that problem but now I don’t.

Thanks Kijug, That would make sense. A lot of music files also have "Album Art" JPG files which would be the non- MP3 files that you mentioned. I also found that some of the stereo steering wheel controls were going wonky as well. I actually brought it in to get repaired for that reason and they replaced the stereo. The other day ( 3 months later) when I tried to use the up or down button to change the track of the MP3 nothing happened for about 1 minute, then the song track went up and down. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks for all the help.

You can try spraying contact cleaner into the buttons.




also avoid spraying car cleaning products on the steering wheel. That’s what probably caused the problem.
