First post, first Lexus, first problem!

Hello everybody. Just taken ownership of a 2018 CT200h Premier, and love the car - mostly! The car itself if everything I expected and more and is totally different from the fuel thirsty Volvo V40 I had previously. I am however, having problems coming to terms with the Mark Levinson sound system, the USB input in particular. I know the USB input works, because it sees a 1Gb drive when inserted but 8, 16 and 128 Gb don't show at all. Any ideas? Is there a limit to the size? (All have been formatted to FAT32) Cheers.

Not a size issue unless there's something specific to the CT's system. They're definitely formatted to FAT32 and not exFAT?

You will probably have an MM17 version of the multimedia system in that vehicle which should be able to do at least a 128GB stick when formatted fat32.  As Adrian says, check it really is FAT32 - modern versions of windows won't format fat32 natively and you need a third party application to make a fat32 filesystem on large sticks.

There are also restrictions to number of directories and max file limit but I would guess unless you have 10s of GB of music loaded already you won't be anywhere near that.

Thanks guys. I am no IT expert and my grandson helped me format the usb media outside windows and as suggested, FAT32 was the answer. Inside windows the formatting defaults to exFAT32.

Now enjoying everything 😁
