There have been some other threads about this but not covering quite what I am experiencing, I dont think.

I have a 32gb USB stick fully loaded with OGG format music files, which are supported according to the manual and basically work ok.

When I first start the car, seems like the system is trying to reload everything on the flash drive and this process seems slow and flaky. Basically, if you try to immediately click on the USB source, it won't find it. Then as it is loading the files, it will let you get into the list of artists, for instance, but will boot you out of the list while it is still downloading from the USB stick. This seems to go on for a couple of minutes till it stabilizes. It's pretty annoying.

Second issue, and I think this has been noticed by others, for some reason sometimes it remembers what you were listening to when you last shut down the car. Other times, it doesnt and will just start playing the first album in the list. And other times it won't play anything at all till you start it up. Anyone figure out what circumstances trigger each behavior?

Is this all normal? Because it seems rather flaky and annoying.
