Anyone having any issues with their USB connection on the radio. I have an 09 SS sedan. My 3rd gen Nano gets power but the head unit will not connect. I got a USB flash drive to work for about 10 minutes and then the head unit said it lost connection. I pulled out the flash drive and it burned my hand. Apparently it was hot enough to melt some of the case on the flash drive. Any thoughts?

yeah bring it in. my HU works with my 3gphone, ipod mini, iphone 2g, ipod shuffle. wow it melted a usb drive case? yikes, bring that in with this tsb printed.

 

Thanks for the bulletin. I'm planning on taking it in next week.

 

NP man, good luck. Report back

 

I had the same issue with my USB drive and I found out that the radio does not like high density flash storage try using an older flash drive because more new drives are high density I went to a 2gb I had laying around and it works but little space I'm going to try to hook up an external hard drive to see if that works too

 

i have a 2010 cobalt LT but it came with the pioneer package. I found its my iphone not my car, apple is dumb, i just reset my phone and it works.

OFF TOPIC: my passenger front tweeter is coming in and out, just started. the car is 4 years old with 51k. ive had it since the get go, i never run the radio above half volume and my bass/trebles settings are not maxed. you guys think the speaker is blown or has anyone actually had wires become unplugged? im feeling its probably blow which is a bummer

 

I'm running a drive just fine.
