Just one precaution.. Have very good anti-viruals on your comptuer (IE: Malware Bytes, Norton, AVG, and a list too long excluding McCaffee) and before you do anyting SCAN that new thumb drive/device.
While one would like to think that "it should not matter" in reality it does.
Car stereo "navigation" and file system is pretty archaic at best and not really "compatible" modern day OS file system standards. Luckily most thumb drives come preformated at FAT32.
However some of the larger 64 gig and 128 gig ones may use Extended file system and USB3 speed drives may not always function at USB1 speeds. I HAVE run into computer systems that no longer "support" USB1 and USB2 speeds until your OS has loaded with the proper drivers..
The drive now days is to remove older "legacy" backwards compatibility in hardware and software.. So it is no longer a one size fits all world..
