I have had my 2015 TLX Tech in Basque Red Pearl II for nearly 3 weeks and I still cannot figure how to make/use playlists on the USB audio source.


I tried to manually create m3u files but the ELS does not see them.


I went through Audio Settings for USB and HDD and see that HDD has a playlist option and USB does not.


The owner's manual says you can use playlists in USB. I wonder if this had issues and was removed from the production vehicles.


Any ideas?

 

I use a program called "drive sort"... You should be able to Google it and find the program to download. I'll create the playlists by naming the actual folders within the USB... then drive sort will let you sort them in the order you want. It actually works pretty well. I used it on my 4G TL and was my only option for playlists. The issue that I have is that the USB is extremely slow in the TLX when trying to search for songs... and sometimes there is such a huge delay in showing the folders/playlists that I want to punch my center stack. Ipods are much better integrated and faster with the TLX... you can even search for artists/songs/playlists using the keypad, which you can't do with USB. For the USB you have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find what you're looking for.
