The USB module on the Fit's factory radio is pretty dumb. It will "see" only folders that have playable music files, so no making a hierarchy of folders like "Mine" and "That Woman's" with subfolders for albums. Better to have two USB flash drives.

The play order is the underlying flash memory's index structure; the order they are added is the order they play. There are utilities for the PC you can download (sorry I don't know any offhand) that will allow you to manage the specific order in the index so you can do something other than last-in-last-out.

Hmm..ill look into it. Cos I've been messing around with order i place folders in, renaming files and folders. And its always random. Just have been re-learning the whats what. At least folders stay numerical order. In my teggys pioneer usb it would assign folders as 1 then 6 then 7..etc. it was random. And if you added a new file, what was folder 6 became folder 5.

LOL stevie, whenever i see your posts i start anticipating a thread fight from loud now :P

Even a cheap $60 radio will solve almost all your connection issues! Support some brands who have been letting us jam out for years
Guilty and agree. My fav still is alpine everything, love the speakers and amps, Minus their head units..not a fan of their configuration. But since production has left japan to china theyre quality are no longer what they once were IMO.

edit: one thing to check before making the leap to an aftermarket radio is if it is compatible with your steering wheel controls. Crutchfield sells wiring harness adapters for this, but they aren't cheap ($80) and may not give full functions. Sorry, there's a downside to everything...
I don't have any steering wheel controls. Or if I do, I have been a total moron and didn't realize that I do have them. could you take pity on my and tell me where they are? The left side of my steering wheel does not have radio controls

I have a photo, but I don't know how to attach it

Checking the manual only the navigation equipped 09 Fits have steering wheel controls. (Mine doesn't either ). Maybe later models have these without navigation.

The good news is if you decide to replace the radio, you don't have to worry about steering wheel controls working or not.
