I have a few questions for those of you that have completed the USB2 Mod. I am in the process of completed this mod. Currently I have been using a USB thumb drive in the dash. I have been having issues with Sync freezing, or the thumb drive is stuck on eternal initializing when leaving the device connected the next time I start the truck. I can recover the system by pulling out the thumb drive, and reinserting it. I have tried 3 different thumb drives, completed a master reset for each one, and made sure they are formatted FAT32.

Has anyone that has completed the USB2 Mod experienced these problems. I want to do this mod to leave the device connected without having to remove it all the time. I have contacted Sync, and there is no update for this problem as of yet. I currently have a 2011 Sync Gen1 V3.2.

 

I just got my truck and im also having these problems

 

I used to have this issue with my iPhone when I had iOS 4.0. Since they've upgraded the iOS to something like 4.2, the problems have gone away. Does your thumb drive happen to be one of those types that displays 2 partitions when plugged in (one partition for on-board software, and another for where you actually store your items)? I've read that those types of drives tend to cause issues with Sync.

 

I just did the USB2 mod, added a 500 gig drive in the glove box.

Had to do it twice because I didnt have the drive formatted to FAT32. Its all done now.

Perfect.
