It take a minute or two to load initially as it has to recreate it's library every time, but after that you can search reasonably well on the drive.

This must be a joke by Volvo

The ports exist in the centre armrest, and will play mp3s recorded on a usb stick/ - I actually use a USB- A and an adapter.

The caveat is that the on board system won't recognise a usb drive >32GB.

Hope this helps

I (have to ) use Audiowagon also.

I also use a larger USB stick (64 Gb), I believe the persistent error message about there being an error on the usb occurs no matter what size USB stick you use. But you must use FAT 32.

You can set Audiowagon to not to create it's library every time. By default it will create a new library each use, but this can be changed in the Audiowagon settings. I have mine set to read the metadata manually, ie only when I tell it to, eg only after I have added new files to the memory stick. This way it plays immediately with no delay.

It works but should not be necessary. Volvo should have built a media player into the system.

You will be able to use USB A memory sticks with one of these.
