CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Hmm, 2017 ZL1 USB supports NTFS (today)...

I've been struggling for the longest time to get a single MP3 to play from a 128 GB SD card stuck in a USB adapter.
Of course, first step was to go to the 2017 Camaro owners manual - which specifically says FAT16, FAT32, exFAT are supported, and other disk formats, specifically NTFS are NOT SUPPORTED.
I tried another 16 GB USB thumb drive with exFAT - no go.
Now after Googling yesterday and finding a poster who said that their USB storage device worked with NTFS, I formatted my SD to NTFS and... bang, it works fine - at least for my sample 13 x MP3 songs.
Now I'm dumping my 90GB iTunes libarary to MP3 highest quality - I'll see how much fits on my 128 GB SD card, and the Camaro manual says there is a 5,000 song limit.
Wish me luck!

2017 Camaro manual, pg 172 (also on pg 171):
