I'm just throwing a few cents in here: Even though the info above is right from the Mazda manual, the size limit on files in a single folder is evidently inaccurate. I have a USB drive with about 6,000 tracks on it and there are a number of folders that contain more than 255 playable files. Involves replacing the Bluetooth module which fixes a few things including not starting at the beginning of the file list every time the car is started. Take it to a dealership. You have to make sure the USB drive is formatted correctly, or it won't rear the files. It has to formatted to FAT32, EXFAT may work as well.

I had an aftermarket radio on my old car and I did folders on the USB for every albums and with the mazda radio it doesn't work, any clue or Jun 4, 2021. #3. Hi, today it happened to me too! Stopped working, the console USB, not charging or connecting to Apple Car Play. The other port worked fine. After a while…An hour or so…It began to work once again. Will bring the car to the dealer for scanning. I have had the car for 2 weeks also, it is a 2022 model.
