How to format USB stick to work with audio in Honda Prologoue

To format a USB stick for use with your Honda Prologue, you should follow these general steps:

1. Backup Your Data: Before formatting, make sure to back up any important files on the USB stick, as formatting will erase all data.
2. Choose the Right File System: Most car audio systems, including Honda vehicles, typically support FAT32 or exFAT file systems. FAT32 is widely compatible but has a file size limit of 4GB, while exFAT supports larger files.
3. Format the USB Stick:
   • On Windows:
     • Insert the USB stick into your computer.
     • Open "This PC" or "My Computer."
     • Right-click on the USB drive and select "Format."
     • Choose either FAT32 or exFAT from the File System dropdown menu.
     • Click "Start" to format the drive.
   • On macOS:
     • Insert the USB stick into your Mac.
     • Open "Disk Utility" (found in Applications > Utilities).
     • Select the USB drive from the list on the left.
     • Click on "Erase."
     • Choose either MS-DOS (FAT) for FAT32 or ExFAT for exFAT.
     • Click "Erase" to format the drive.
4. Transfer Music Files: After formatting, transfer your music files to the USB stick. Ensure the audio files are in a compatible format (like MP3 or WAV) that your car's audio system supports.
5. Test in Your Vehicle: Once the music files are transferred, insert the USB stick into your Honda Prologue and check if it recognizes the files.

If you continue to experience compatibility issues, consult your vehicle's user manual for specific audio format requirements or limitations.

Usually a car stereo requires the USB flash drive to be formatted to the FAT32 file system.

Also, the audio files you copy to the USB flash drive would need to be MP3 files, check the file types, if they are WMA audio files, your car will not be able to see those audio files.
