09 USB Port with HDD

I have been unable to find anything about using an external hard drive with my USB port. I used an ipod for a long time before someone stole it and now I pretty much refuse to pay 250 bucks for a new 120gig. I have about 115g of music and basically the ipod just sat in my center console with no other use then music storage for my car.

I have wiped 2 different portable externals now, a WD and a Maxtor One Touch both 250gig and both are giving me Unsupported errors on the dash. I seen flashdrives working in other TSX's but then arent large enough. If anyone has any info on what I might have to do or if this will even work I would be thankful.

I had a 09 tsx loaner around xmas and i plugged in my WD 160gig with 11k plus songs and that shit just booted right up. it took about a minute but that shit was fabulous i love the setup in that car. U know what, when i first got my WD it had drivers already installed so, i made sure i kept them on. That's propbably your problem being that you wiped them clean. If you want i can email it you. let me know.

It might be how you formatted the drive: either NTFS or FAT32. The TSX might only accept drives formated FAT32.

I reformatted the drive under FAT32 and it is working now thanks.

My only other question would be once it boots it only displays album folder names anyone know why since all the music is in band folders then album folders and its rather annoying searching through 1000's of albums.

My guess is it only displays folders with mp3s in them and since the band folders only hand more folders in them it doesn't pick them up which would be terrible.
