I have just purchased a 16gb Cruzer car for my 2016 Kia Venga.

It was formatted to Fat32, but when I plug it into the car I get “No device Present”

I have an unbranded 32gb stick that works ok, both devices are formatted as Fat32, but the Cruzer wiil not work. 

The device package states for use in Car audio systems and should be 16gb but only formats at 14.5 gb.

Is there sometning on the card that I need to remove before it will work?

Congratulations on your new (to you) Kia! I have a Sorento myself.

Your Cruzer flash drive might have come with “Secure Access” on it, which is a “vault” for encrypting & storing sensitve files/content. I suspect your car’s head unit is seeing this and giving you the error msg.

I would re-format the card (FAT32) which will remove this & then you can re-load the drive with your favorite tunes. Everything should work as it should after.

Yes, eliminating the Secure Acess files will free up a bit of space, but you will never see the full 16GB of space due to mathmatical differences explained here.

If you have any other problems, let us know. :smiley:
