Default 2010 USB Port in center console question

Ok if its been covered - sorry but yes I searched and cant find answer.

having said that - I plugged a 4GB USB flash to my center console and the radio did not recognize it at all.
Does it have to be a Ipod per say or some kind of MP3 player?

or just a flash card with Mp3's on it and it will just read the thumb drive like its a CD ?

any help is appreciated

it works well on my phone (Windows mobile), although occaisionally i will have to try connecting it several times before it works clickable. I'll go out and try it on a usb stick in a few minutes.

edit: I just tried it with an 8GB usb stick and it worked immediately, although it wouldnt let me play the movie i put on there

OK it was my file system...the flash drive was formatted in NTFS
the car only can read FAT or FAT32 formats

just reformatted it using windows XP - works now

This is a nice feature! - and now flash drives are big so you can fit a bunch of MP3's on them plus it reads much faster than the CD' start up.
