RE: Alphabetical USB Disk/Stick

I wonder if we are really limited to fat32. It's the standard for usb stick, since just about any operating system can work with it. This makes me wonder which operating system the car is using. Since it doesn't do ntfs out of the box, I guess we can rule out windows. For licensing reasons I would rule out OS X. So I guess they are using linux, so I wonder if ext2 or ext3 file systems will work. I'll give it a try when I get mine.

NP. Wonderful things are being done using the QNX OS (Subsidiary of RIM/Blackberry).

Check out this link to see what Porche is doing with it.

Full Disclosure: I work for RIM.

From what I can pick out on the web RIM blasckberry os is based on the Java Kernel, which would suggest as Sun Micro write Unix, OS X and Android are based on unix.

Tron515, if it isn't technical it might not happen.

There is also this freeware:

https://download.cnet.com/Mp3DirSorter/3...66260.html

It does the same thing, sorting files and folders.

Been using it fo quite a while now, no complaints.
