Media Connectivity

Hi Guys

Car: 2013 135i - (Non iDrive)
My question;
So with regards to the USB connectivity, i recently purchased a 32GB nano USB 3.0, looks super mini, stealthy look. perfect for the car, loaded about 20GB of music so when i insert it and go to the USB tab it does not pick it up, "please insert USB" :dunnoanymore:

FYI : the USB is formatted to Fat32 by default, is Using 3.0 but should be backward compatible with 2.0, so what are the limitations, can it not read larger sticks (32GB and upwards) ?, and what could it be that is preventing the device from being read ? should i maybe format it again or does it specifically only read USB 2.0 and below ?

Thanks

How long did you leave it connected? it may take some time to read usb.

The USB has been plugged in since saturday 2 days ago, till today still didn't pick it up. If re-formatting won't work then i'm thinking of trying a regular size USB 2.0

Update

Tried regular USB 2.0 , all works fine, seems that USB 3.0 isn't compatible with the bmw professional radio.
