Thanks for this. It may be just me or the USB version required but I just picked up the first USB storage I could find and downloaded the new version and checked it was in the correct storage location etc. and tried it in the car. It did not recognise the USB device. I scratched my head then checked USB storage device version...it was 2.0. I then tried it with a 3.0 version and no problem, Gracenote updated. I may just have been unlucky but it's got me wondering if 3.0 or above is the expected USB version. Anyone any ideas?

Could very well be the case that the USB socket in the car is a USB3. Because it sits in a car there are maybe not the normal indicators identifing usb 3.0 like the blue color pin on the port itself, or by markings next to the port like either "SS" (Super Speed) or "3.0

The USB protocol has gone through three major revisions: USB 1, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0/3.1 and the USB 3.0 spec requires it to be fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.

However, not all USB 3.0 ports or the computers they're connected to will achieve this USB 2.0 backwards compatibility properly.

Normally there should not be a problem at the hardware level. However, there may be a problem with the drivers or the underlying controller for the ports.

In this case it's not easy to identify the drivers installed - This is NOT Windows IT'S Mazda

Found this in the mazda connect handbook as part of usb1/usb2 use. Maybe it was because the USB 2.0 storage used a Micro sd card which may not be compatible!

 Devices can be used which comply with the USB 2.0/1.1 standard. Even with USB 3.0 standard products, if the device is compatible with USB 2.0, it can be used as a USB 2.0 device.
