Take a look at Sandisk Ultra or Cruzer low profile as they produce some really low profile USB flash drives. I have 128GB versions in my S4 and my Naim Muso and they only stick out about 10mm.

Sorry to slightly hijack the thread but I also have a couple of related questions

1. Our Macan is a 2016 model that has the later PCM but does not have satnav or the connect functions, has anyone upgraded theirs to either have the nav and or CarPlay and what sort of cost would it be

2. Just recently, when we plug in our iPhone to the centre armrest usb slot, it won’t let us continue to use Bluetooth to play Spotify and switches the phone over to be an iPod, we then can’t play Spotify as it wants to try and play music off the phone of which there is not any. I am not sure if we have accidentally done something as I am sure we used to be able to charge the phone whilst also playing a music app. I am sounding vague as my wife drives the car 99% of the time and I rarely use it

Thanks

Might want to check how many files are supported on an SD card. Limit of 10,000 files per medium on the Gen 1

My car has now landed at the dealers so should be collecting next week. Want to get some music onto a card ready but sd cards are a minefield 🤯. Some are over £200
I am using a USB stick for a 2019 "Gen 2" car. For a 2021 (and 2020?) car it would need to be a USB C stick

I was hoping to use an sd card so I don't have anything sticking out and the chance of it being hit. I'm guessing you've had no issue with the usb sticking out?
No issue when it is in the centre rest box. but these days there are some really small sticks that hardly stick out eg the Sandisk Ultra Series

This is similar to what I am using, which is as low profile as it gets.

I had a quick look last night and couldn't really see many usb-c ones, so just ordered a sandisk 128gb extreme card.
Now got the joys of getting my music onto it. I put all my music on to iTunes many years ago and can't remember the quality I selected, might just do it all again if I have a few days spare.

How many files are supported on the card in the Gen 2?
