Lexus RX 2010-15 :: RX350 - Some MP3 Music On USB Stick Doesn't Play
Aug 13, 2014
I have a 2010 RX350 and put a lot of MP3 songs on USB stick to play. Recently I have downloaded a lot of songs from Amazon in MP3 format and finding that some of the songs just don't play. I see the name of the song on the display and then it just passes over it and doesn't play.
I don't have Navigation on this vehicle. I can take the same USB stick and put it in another car (newer) and it all the songs play fine. Why some MP3 files play and some don't?

I have 2014 RX350 and using Bluetooth audio with Samsung S5 on Verizon. I am noticing an issue with specific album in specific folder on the S5. Once I attempt to play the music on my RX, the same album title is repeated many times and the songs are split into different folders. Why that's happening?

Ive got an iphone 3g and a Prius with the Sat Nav, i saw a clip on you tube about a year ago with some guy playing music from his iphone via Bluetooth. Ive tried to do this and it doesn't, the phone is BT synced with the car for the handsfree phone but in the audio tab one called "BT" is grayed out im assuming thats the one i need its next to the "Aux" tab. I don't know if they guy was using some third party software or something

I paired my iPhone 6S with my 2010 RX350, and the phone shows it is paired, but sound never comes out of the car speakers, only the phone. My iPhone 6 occasionally had the same issue.

Just got a (second) 2012 RX350. 13,000 miles. The Distance to Empty is confusing me. Doesn't come close to matching the tank size times either the mpg since last fill-up, or the overall average mpg. Overall mpg is 17.x. mpg since last fill-up varies from 17-21. But when I fill the tank, the DTE says maybe 260. With a 20gal tank the DTE after a fill-up should be in the 340-350 range.
This isn't happening on our other 2012 RX350 with about the same number of miles.
The needle gas gauge appears to be right, based on where the needle is before a fill-up and the number of gallons purchased.

Audio is delayed by about 2-3 seconds when I play music thru the USB and when I stream audio thru Bluetooth, there's little to no delay. Is that normal? Can it be fixed?

I tried using voice control to select an album to play and it wouldn't work. I have about 150 songs on a USB stick which works fine using the pointer, but I can't select using voice. I've had the car for 2 years and this I the first time I tried using it. Do you state the album name, the artist name, or the song name? Does it have to be listed by file number?

A few quick questions regarding using a USB stick on a Prius C. As my latest iPod has died, I decided to focus on using a USB stick.
a) Why do some album covers show up and some don't. I play the MP3 on my iTunes, Windows Media Player or VLC Player and I see the album cover, but some won't show on the stock radio (2015 Prius C).
b) What audio file formats have you been able to play via USB?
c) Any ways to have non-English text display for playback? I listen to a lot of Japanese, Korean and Chinese pop music, so it kind of sucks of having to rename nearly every artist/band name, track title and album title as it becomes quite tedious for each track.
D) Currently, I am using a 4GB stick and it takes a little while each time the playlist has to refresh, each time I start my car. But I would like to move up to a 32GB or 64GB USB stick. But I was wondering how long the wait time is for the playlist refresh? If it's too much, then I'll probably use a 8GB or 16GB. And any speed differences on a Prius USB if it was USB 2.0 or 3.0?

I bought a new 2012 Sonata GS about a year ago. I have recently realized that the car should have the ability to play music from a usb stick. I would much prefer this to playing music through the phone as that eats up the battery and takes up a lot of room. Anyway I tried just dragging mp3 files into different artist folders on an empty usb drive and then plugging it into my car. Unfortunately the car was unable to read the music. are there any special formatting/ other things I should do to either the stick or the music that would allow the car to play the songs from the usb drive?

o I'm at my dealer and I bought my 2011 DBM 6mt 2dr gti about a week and a half ago. I have zero complaints about the car except for one strange small problem. When I play music through my iPhone 4 the volume at least once every ride will completely cut out and the only way to get it bak is to unplug the phone and plug it back in. The song continues to play on the screen yet no volume at all.

How do you play your mp3 music? I just spoke to a Toyota rep, he was rude, he was telling me my flash drive is not compatible with toyota audio. He said I need to buy 8GB flash drive anything else will not work and I CAN'T use folders. "All this information is listed in your owner's manual" ...
I think the current audio system is a big step back, its limitation reminds me of the $9.99 mp3 players. I was always able to use a 32GB stick, put my songs in folders, or at least be able to select the songs from a playlist. And when I started my your car again, the system would still remember my playlist. I did not have to wait 5 minutes for "gathering information" every time and than spend another 5 minutes looking for the album or composer I want to listen to.

I have a recently bought 2013 Prius C3 (less than 4,000 miles) and for some reason the car won't play my boyfriend's iPod touch. The battery charges when I connect it so I know that it's "connected", but I have no explanation why music won't play.
The car has no problem playing music from my iPhone 5 when I have it connected via the cable.

Right now it plays alphabetically but could not play songs in one folder. I have group my songs in folders and wanted to know if this could be done. Do I have to reformat my USB drive? I have the five model.

I just purchased an 07 RX 350 with a salvage title. I'm going to fix it up and drive it but I'm trying to figure out why it won't start. It was hit in the front driver side corner, bent the radiator support and crushed the bumper and head light, but that is about the extent of the damage. I tried charging the battery and I get power inside and the other headlight seems very bright, but when I try to turn it over, I can hear what I think is the fuel pump engage but the engine doesn't turn over and there is no noise from the starter. Is there a sensor or something that would be stopping it?

I've had my 2008 RX350 for 2.5 yrs now and just love it! However, over the last 8 months or so, I've been having a strange annoying problem. And a few times, the car has left me stranded. What happens is I turn the key and my first indicator is that the steering wheel doesn't adjust and I know the car is not going to start. However, the radio may work, dash lights work, steering wheel is not locked. It seems entirely dead as if the battery is dead. The car may start 15 min later or may take 3 hours then decide to start.
A strange thing is, is the windows don't work following these episodes which normally signify a battery failure, however the battery is not very old, otherwise performs perfectly and the dealership tested it and say it's good. Because this is so intermittent, they couldn't re-enact the problem so I'm stuck with being stranded again....usually 6 weeks later. The dealership has no answers. I was lucky last night because the car started after 15 min. 6 weeks ago, I was stranded 50 miles away from home where I had to leave the car overnight after trying for 3 hours to get is started.
The next morning, it promptly started. I am at a total loss and it makes me nervous to drive. My husband who works for a chevy dealer and knowledgeable with cars is stumped. He asks the question, could there be a computer malfunction after so many starts which would answer the 6 wk consistency for which this happens? Should we just replace the battery even though we have no reason to suspect?

When I use my iPod Touch in my 2010 Prius IV via USB it works great -- the song, album and artist names are all displayed properly on the Nav screen and it sounds great. But the tracks on the albums are listed and played in alphabetical order rather than the order that they appear on the album. For many albums, tracks are in context with adjacent tracks -- playing them in alphabetical order messes up that context.

2013 Prius C with Entune. The USB connection allows me to charge my iPod (3rd generation) and iPhone 4S but I cannot play music via that connection. The system is designed to allow playback through the USB, right? I plugged in a flashdrive and was able to play music. I have tried three cables and none allow the feed from the device into the audio system. I am able to connect into the Aux port and play music.
