⚠️ Important Notice: Mandatory Car Head Unit MP3 Decoding & U-Disk Requirements

1. Car AUX Port Must Support MP3 Decoding: This is a passive pin-to-pin adapter without an internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) or audio decoding chip. It ONLY works if your car stereo/navigation head unit has an AUX port specifically engineered with built-in MP3 audio decoding capabilities. If your car AUX port only accepts standard analog audio, this adapter cannot read a USB flash drive.
2. Not for Charging or Data Transfer: Cannot be used to charge phones, tablets, or headphones, and cannot connect USB devices directly to PC/laptop 3.5mm headphone jacks.
3. Strict U-Disk Configuration: The connected USB flash drive must be formatted to FAT32 (exFAT and NTFS are not supported). Store ONLY .mp3 audio files directly in the root directory—do not create folders or store other documents. U-disk capacity should be kept small (recommended 8GB or lower, depending on your vehicle head unit limit).
4. Solid Direct-Plug Dongle Design: Features a compact, molded direct-plug design (approx. 1.77 inches / 4.5 cm in length) without an extended cable, ensuring a neat and rattle-free fit on your dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my car stereo not play music or recognize the USB drive after plugging it in?
A: This adapter does not have a built-in decoding chip. It relies entirely on your car stereo head unit having an AUX interface engineered with MP3 decoding circuitry. If your car AUX jack is a conventional analog audio-only port, the stereo cannot read digital data from a flash drive.

Q: Can I use this adapter to charge my phone or connect USB headphones to a 3.5mm headphone jack?
A: No. This adapter is strictly designed for connecting a USB flash drive to a compatible decoding car AUX port. It does not carry charging voltage and cannot convert headphone signals.

Q: What is the recommended USB flash drive setup for best results?
A: Use a small-capacity U-disk (8GB or smaller), format it to FAT32, and place only MP3 audio tracks directly in the root directory without creating subfolders.
