So I wanted to get a thumb drive large enough to use my music collection and purchased a 2TB thumb drive. The seller mentioned that 1TB and 2TB drives cannot be read on windows XP systems. I have a Mac and it was reAd with no problem
However, the G37 cannot read it.
Does anyone know what size partitions are compatible with USB on our vehicles? May a 512MB would work?
The USB stick has to be formatted in FAT32 else the G won't read it. I had to use a 3rd party app in order for Windows 10 to format it in FAT32 (can't speak if the Macintosh can)...

Gotcha. I didn’t even think the manual would have info so thanks for the attachment. My MacBook only formats to MS DOS FAT (not sure what the difference is if any) but I will try it and if this format doesn’t work I’ll format it on my windows computer at work.
So the MS DoS FAT option in Disk Utility is essentially FAT 32 as seen in this screenshot, however, the G still cannot read the thumb drive which may be because of the large partition so I’ll try a 512GB and update this thread for anyone interested in knowing the largest partition compatible with our rides
