I bought the Quantum FX for the purpose syncing a video taping of a musician to previously recorded songs that he wrote. I loaded the two mp3's on to an SD card on my computer.The operation is then....plug the SD card in slot on the front.set the "function" knob to usb/sd.turn up the volume.The mp3 may start playing on its own or you may have to press the "play/pause" button.The you can access the various mp3s with either the forward or back button.I used only two songs so I don't know how accessing several mp3s would work or if it works at all if the mp3s are in folders.

I used the SD slot. Card pushes in upside down. Select SD red light comes on ,music plays..I don't like the fact that it always starts from the first song not where I stopped it

perhaps, if you have media on an sd card or on another storage device w/usb cable, the my be of use

As for USB they are saved from where they left off (like when you shut off your vehicle) as for SD I am not sure as I have not used that function yet. This IS a great Clarion Head unit. Especially if you are a BASSHEAD like myself because Car CD player would skip

There are 2 usb ports(stacked) in the rear of the unit. I purchased 2 short(20cm) left angle usb cables from eBay. I then ran them through a hole I drilled in the Scosche installation kit and have them inside the pocket, so I can access the usb drives without removing the unit. If you need a long cable to go through the dash to different spot, the radio comes with a 1.5 meter cable, but it only comes with the one. Hope this helps.

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.

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

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this. I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets.

Sandisk's site has a car charger/FM radio device for it. It's more pricey than $12, but probably works very well.

No, the USB cable does not work. The radio display says "cable is not compatible"

It is to replace a stock radio but it loses memory whenever you try to start the vehicle if you are listening to the SD card you have to reprogram the stations and clock

Attach the two wires from the antenna to the two terminals on the back of the receiver. Slots usually involve a clip to fasten the wire. I hope this helps!

There are in fact two USB connections: a regular and a mini. In addition there is an SD card slot (which I use). So there are plenty of ways in.

I my brief encounter with that piece of junk radio, I observed a USB port and a small combination earphone jack, antenna port. This radio has the worst audio quality I have ever heard. I sent it back the day after if was delivered.

Don't know because I don't own a Sansa Radio slot card. I would ask SanDisk.

You should be able to cycle through the "input" methods by pressing the 'Menu' button on the front left. Mine works for FM and USB (but I haven't tried Micro SD card yet).

The USB and SD slots at the front of the speaker system is used for playing USB Memory Sticks or SD Cards only. While playing these media types, the speaker controls can be selected to skip to next or play random etc. Thank You for your question.
