USB Media

[pbinde]

I wonder if any of you can answer this question. Is it possible to use a USB splitter and access USB media and apple car play at the same time without having to unplug and plug in the alternate? I have a USB stick with about 6,000 songs on it. I thought I had read something about there being an onboard hard drive. My old jeep used to rip CDs onto one which was awesome.

No, it will not work, neither will a hub.. It's just one source at a time.

Nope … I already tried and documented in another thread quite some time ago. Complete miss on Kia's part to allow two data USB ports.

Maybe a software update could allow usb-free CarPlay or the ability to use two usb

Thanks Tim. I searched to see if this question was previously asked but didn't find anything. Perhaps there could be a future software update to allow wireless apple car play and/or dual usb. I've seen that some audi, bmw and mini vehicles offer it.

Does the usb work for media from a USB flash drive? I never tried it

Yes it plays my music off of a usb stick, loads fairly quickly too. Just, unfortunately, no built-in hard drive. At least not that I have found. :-(

yea, our 2016 Sorento SX-L with the infinit system in it had the internal hard drive. I was really shocked that the Telluride nor Stinger has them. That's the only thing I miss from my Sorento.

Bummer that there isn't a hard drive. My 2013 Durango even has a hd to store music on.
