What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Well hell... My ahv4000nex has the upload "button" greyed out so it won't let me add the images from my USB. Unless the shop that wired my 5 channel amp removed my bypass, I don't understand why it's greyed out. Unless my USB is the wrong format maybe? I know my old laptop wouldn't use this USB. But it's got both the normal size USB and the USB C, so I added the pics from my phone.

I guess I lost or forgot to install the USB cord for my avh601nex.

Fark!

These are the images I was going to use

 

Chances are it's one of a couple things:

• The USB stick is formatted to NTFS and not FAT32 (if you normally use Windows) so the head unit can't read what's on removable storage
• The head unit hasn't recognized removable storage is inserter (i.e. the USB stick), possibly because of the previous point

Boot up your Windows PC (I know you're not a MAC guy).

Plug in the USB stick.

Open the File Explorer app, which is what you use to browse files on shit.

Find the USB stick and right-click on it, then choose Properties from the popup menu as you see below (1st image).

Look at how it's formatted (see 2nd image below), and if it's currently using NTFS filesystem, you'll need to right-click the disk again, choose the FORMAT option, and you should either choose to quick-format it to exFAT, or FAT32. Both are usually understood by most devices.

​

 

It's already exFAT.
exFAT2 isn't an option, just NTFS.

I'm thinking the guy that installed my amp unplugged the USB wire. Not worth messing with right now, or maybe ever, since I'm eventually going to upgrade the avh4000nex anyways. It's got the removable face and when I hit a big bump, the stereo restarts or just dies, until I turn the truck off and on again. Total PITA when off-roading or on a road trip. Not to mention the only reason I bought the 5 channel amp was because I fried the internal pioneer amp. When I installed the 20 foot premium audio bypass harness, one of the wires got caught on the floor trim and shorted out.

When the time comes to replace it, I'll be sure to use it's old USB wire for the avh601ex

 

That would be the other thing, if you're using a USB extension, then ... yeah, may be unplugged.

 

Test fit a bunch of 6x9 adapter brackets in the rear doors of the truck. More info over here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/1st-gen-testing-out-access-cab-speaker-brackets-6x9.161486/

Had hoped to do more audio stuff today, but ran out of time.

 

Gah this truck makes me drool every time I see it. This is what my truck wants to become when it grows up. What model is your shell?

 

Wife started my Tundra the other day and it sounded horrible from the office, found my muffler split down the side seam after 25 years. Welding in a Flowmaster FlowFX today and absolutely love it. For the price it’s hard to beat!
