    So, Ive been searching these posts and have received a wealth of info but looking for the most common solution.

    Task: update software/upload files

    Issue: "unable to access the USB flash drive. Please check that it is properly connected".

    History: It's a 2014 with only 4K miles. I know the original owner and he never used the USB. I have also tried numerous methods to transfer the files (USB, phone, etc.) but nothing seems to be read or identified by my head unit.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try this...

    Load a usb device, such as a flash drive with the image of your choice. The images file name, including the file extension, can be up to 32 characters. Name the image without spaces or strange characters. When saving the images to a USB, name the folder that the startup image is saved to “StartupImage” and name the folder that the screen off image is saved to “DisplayOffImage”. If these folder names are not used, the navigation system cannot download the images. (The folder names are case sensitive.)
    The images file extension is JPG or JPEG. Image files of 10MB or less can be saved.
    Up to 3 images can be downloaded. Plug the flash drive into your car usb port.
    On the entune nav system:
    Press the “SETUP” button
    Touch “General” on the “Setup” screen.
    Touch “Customize Startup Image”
    Touch “Transfer”
    Touch “Yes”
    You can also delete and switch between screens.
    You should now see your new startup screen flash by when the entune system is started each time.

    You may want to make sure that there is nothing else on the USB drive, just the files to be imported as explained above.

    Try right clicking on the USB and formatting to Fat32, that will erase all data. Then load files as described above.

    Is there a way to lengthen the time it flashes?

    I just purchased a 2021 Tundra Limited and after a few days of head scratching, I finally learned my USB full of my favorite music WILL NOT PLAY AT ALL - unless the USB is formatted in FAT (not exfat). So now I have to figure out how to format my USB to FAT from exFAT... geesh! I remember the old days when you jumped in, popped in a cassette tape and boom! you have music. Maybe I need a 2010 tundra? LOL
