Just bought this radio and 2 of mine usb flash drives are not recognizable. Is it usb port problem or flash drive?

I found that only some small capacity usb drives work for this purpose, 2gb or so

I couldn't see the device on my computer either, nor could I download anything into it. The radio only worked for a short while then it quite working too.

I assume you mean it's not recognized Try plugging it into the cord first then the cord into your usbI can't give you an explanation but it work for me on previous machines Also take a flash drive to test that port. Occasionally they do fail

I will check. Don't listen to radio any more becausec of too many commercials. USB option does.

I haven't been able to get ANY radio stations on mine. So I use it mainly with a USB Flash Drive. I can use my radio in the car and record the songs and play them in the house. It works okay for me that way.

Hi there, only to let you know that I bought 2 of them about 2 years ago I have replaced both with other brands, because a usb port failure. My advice find another brand. Thanks

It's not a terribly expensive unit the USB interface may have failed. Have you tried a different thumb drive in it? Does the sdhc card slot work? My experience with inexpensive electronics is that they fail right away or they work for a long time. You may have gotten a bad one. It could also be your thumb drive.

I'm sorry, I can't answer this question. I apparently have the same radio as Karen. I hadn't looked at the USB port until now and it is a weird size which I have never seen before. Like Karen, I don't have a USB flash drive that fits this port. I have tried to research this problem online, but can't find an answer. I thought there might be something in the owner's manual, but, for some reason I can't find mine. I'll keep looking and if I find the answer, I will pass it along. Sorry! - Jim Scott

Yes the rear USB port works alot better than the one on the front. If it still doesn't want to read your USB than you might want to buy a different one. I've had that happen to me before.

Can not give you any guidance about making the radi work. I purchased this radio because I wanted to get international stations and also use attaching a USB drive to play music. Could not make radio nor USB drive work. I contacted seller about returning item. They were very nice about the whole thing. Refunded the money (can't remember if all or partial refund) and actually asked I keep the radio, since I told them I would donate it to a local chairty. I was surprised by the incongruence between my experience and the positive reviews. I donated the radio and have not purchased a new one, so do not know what to recommend instead.

My USA630 has problems with the USB also. The radio will play a while and then lock up with an error 01-100 (or something like that). Sometimes just shutting the unit off for a few seconds will make it work again for a little while but at other times I have to remove the USB and leave it off a while before replacing it. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. I plan to get rid of the unit completely this winter. This is a replacement for the first one and it's not worth the aggravation.

should recognize when plugged into usb port if not may not be compatible or defective

this is basically a universal part. do you currently have the factory radio installed? if so your factory radio will have to have a usb port and rca inputs to use this item. If you have an aftermarket radio with a usb port and rca inputs, all you have to do is install this item in a desired location and plug the rca cables and usb cable to the aftermarket radio's inputs

It was the USB cable. We didn't have it connected. I attached it and went to plug and play. Works good. Thanks for the reply.Brian
