Anyone had any luck getting movies to play thru MyLink? I added a few movies to my USB while playing with music files and can't get them to play. I also added a few music videos encoded within the specs set in the owners manual. The music videos play fine and have decent resolution. However when I try to play the movie it gives an error. If I trim the movie down to 10 minute intervals it also plays fine. Am I doing something wrong. I'm using .wmv format and bitrates are within the specifications. Any Ideas? It's like the file size messes with it.

If I recall, the USB stick has to be formatted to in FAT32. This limits the size of video that can me saved on the USB, , I forget if only AVI files can be played ? But for sure re-format your USB to FAT32. Now, has anyone figured out how to watch a movie without having to have the Trax in park ?

My USB is formatted to exFAT but I will try FAT32 and format the movie to avi see what happens!
As far as the watching the movie without it in park. I have noticed the music videos I could get to play would play in gear as long I was stopped and under 5mph. Must be software controlled. I don't see a park switch input on the schematic for the radio but it does use serial data wire to receive info from other modules. I'm betting vehicle speed is one of those.

Makes sense as the radio has speed controlled volume!

I had a movie work yesterday. My USB was formatted to FAT32 and my movie file was .wmv, mp4 did not work. Make sure the video resolution isn't to large. I used 854 x 480, 1920 x 1080 was to large.
