USB media disconnect workaround

[trav2tell]

I use a USB micro-thumbdrive to provide music in my Telluride. Unfortunately every 2-4 days the infotainment system does not sense the still plugged in drive. I have to pull it out and reinsert it. That is a pain with the small thumbdrive.

I found a workaround, a USB extension cord that has a switch in the cable. Now I can just flip the switch to disconnect and flip it back to connect again.
There are other similar products, the one I got is about 2 ft long from Amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QTJZD99?psc=1 ).

Nice find, just ordered one to see how it works... Will get here before my car <G>.

@trav2tell do you know which music file formats the Telluride USB supports? ie: MP3, FLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, OGG, WMA
