What's going wrong?

Common Toyota RAV4 USB music problems and how USB4Car fixes them.

2013–2018 RAV4 doesn't see the stick at all USB4Car fixes this automatically

The fix: Almost always an exFAT stick — which is how sticks over 32 GB come out of the box. These RAV4s read FAT32 only. Use a 32 GB stick set up as FAT32 and it appears immediately.

FLAC files are skipped USB4Car fixes this automatically

The fix: Only 2019+ RAV4s play FLAC. On anything older, convert FLAC albums to MP3 — at 320 kbps you won't hear the difference over road noise.

Albums play out of order USB4Car fixes this automatically

The fix: The RAV4 sorts by file name. Rename tracks to start with 01, 02, 03 … and keep one album per folder.
