Hi all! I FINALLY got my 09 Cobalt SS yesterday. Its awesome.

Has anybody experienced difficulty when trying to play music from the blackberry through the USB port?

I get a failure to connect but the device setting on the BB is enabled without encryption and not set to prompt when connecting.

Any ideas? I got it to work once for about 30 seconds before it stopped working.

 

I had problems getting my Curve to work reliably via USB with my Kenwood eXcelon deck. It would work fine, then show up as unformatted after reconnecting it. Putting the MicroSD card in a PC, the files would show up right away, and doing so seemed to fix whatever the Curve didn't like about it - it would then work again until I disconnected it.

 

Exactly the same for me. I'm playing with an external drive right now, just bought a 500GB seagate external drive.

On the first take the head unit reported "invalid file system format" or something to that effect. I left my cables at work but when I get a chance I want to look at the properties of the BB removable drive that appears in "My Computer" list. right click on the removable drive and the format will be in there some where.

My small thumb drive works just fine and my external drive was unsuccessful. So I check the format of the disk. In the MS Windows world there are 3 choices. FAT, FAT32 and NTFS. Windows is a ho that needs slapped so its not a straight forward process to convert from one to the next. The external drive was NTFS so I ran a command line function in a DOS prompt to step it back to FAT. We'll see if it works and post accordingly.
