What video format is needed for the radio?

Many music lovers copy audio files from a computer to a flash drive for later listening to them through a radio. But it is likely that after connecting the media to the device, you will not hear music in the speakers or headphones. Perhaps this radio simply does not support the type of audio files in which the music is recorded. But there may be another reason: the file format of the flash drive does not correspond to the standard version for the specified equipment. Next, we will find out what format you need to format the USB drive into and how to do it.

Can I watch videos through AUX?

That is, using AUX

,
you can
connect an external device to your TV or any other audio system and listen to music from it.
The name AUX
comes from the English word Auxilary.

The main reasons why a flash drive is not readable

Most often, problems with reading information from a USB drive arise for the following reasons:

The car radio does not support the file system format of the flash drive.

The oldest radio models support only the FAT16 file system, later modifications already work with FAT32, and the newest ones interact with the NTFS format. If there is a discrepancy between the named formats, then problems with reading will certainly arise.

When difficulties arise in this area, you need to familiarize yourself with the technical characteristics of the stereo system and clarify what file storage system format it supports. In the case where there is no documentation, everything will have to be done empirically. You take a USB drive and format it one by one for all systems, record test audio files and check it on your device. This work can be done using a computer. This is done as follows:

Go to the “My Computer” section and find a removable disk (flash drive).
Right-click and go to the context menu, where we select “Format”.
Select the “File system” we need, for example, FAT32 and click the “Start” button at the bottom.

Formatting USB media

The hierarchy is too complex.

All information could be placed in a playlist that also has subfolders, namely “modern pop - love songs - Basque”, then it is quite possible that the stereo system will not be able to read the most distant folders. This problem can be encountered if the car’s music equipment was released before 2000 or if it is a very cheap model. The solution to the issue is to compulsorily record all audio files in the root directory. This formatting is quite easy to do on a computer and create your own correct playlist.

The permissible capacity of the flash drive does not match.

Installing video player and codecs

The user manual states that MMC supports video with WMV resolution. When playing files with other extensions (AVI, MPG, MPEG, MP4, etc.), difficulties may arise. You can expand the list of supported video and audio files by installing a player that contains all the necessary codecs.

The standard MMS runs on Windows CE 6.0. The best video players for this operating system were determined by users of w3bsit3-dns.com using a survey (above). The most popular were CorePlayer, former BetaPlayer and TCPMP.

Installing the TCPMP video player: Upload the downloaded CAB file to the MMC -> Exit to the desktop (hold “Settings”) -> Launch the CAB file -> Select the installation path “memory card”.

Exit to the desktop in MMS with built-in navigation (instructions for site users):

To download files you need to log in to the site.

on the DirectShow tab, uncheck the Overlay with colorkey box;
on the Associations tab, check the boxes next to the extensions that we will use;
On Video Quality, check the Low box.

Now, when you click on a video file, it will automatically play in an alternative player. Let us remind you that another way to expand the capabilities of MMS is to change the firmware or install navigation. If problems arise during the operation of the multimedia system, we will solve them in this article. By the way, do you know how to watch videos on MMS Vesta while driving?

What does the radio itself tell you?

Modern devices for reproducing information from various media can independently determine the problem that has arisen and prompt it to the car owner. In problematic situations, the following entries may appear on the screen:

ERROR-PROTECT – a signal that the equipment does not have the Windows Media codec installed.
ERROR23 – file system does not match, for example, NTFS or FAT
CHECK USB – an error has been diagnosed in the process of powering the USB port.
ERROR19 – file names are written in Cyrillic, the hierarchical system is too complex, there is no suitable codec, etc.

Sometimes other symbols may appear, but their meanings are best found in the instruction manual; they can vary significantly depending on the brand of audio equipment.

Existing formats for radio tape recorders

There are many formats (so-called sizes, further in the text), some are more in demand today and are used in a wide range of models, others are less common, either outdated or too new:

The most famous audio sizes are MP3, WAV, WMA, CDA
MP3 is today the most popular and most licensed format for storing audio data, which was developed by a group of MPEG campaign specialists
In this size, a new algorithm for encoding information with losses in the upper and lower frequencies of sound is used

Note: There are no such losses in the CDA format.

But the technology allows you to significantly (10 or even more times) reduce the size of an MP3 file in comparison with the original CDA format
Moreover, the average bitrate of a compressed file is more than 128 kbps
And the higher the speed of information transmission, the better the quality of the resulting music file is reproduced
However, due to the use of the perceptual encoding method, the deterioration in quality during playback remains practically unnoticeable to the average listener

Note: You can only notice the difference if you have a good radio and excellent branded headphones, which 90 percent of ordinary listeners do not have.

CDA has been used for a long time on CDs, it is the very first and simplest for storing digital audio data. File playback occurs at a certain fixed disk rotation speed and has the highest playback quality, this is explained simply, data in the CDA format is not compressed, don't give in to him
WAV is the closest size to CDA in terms of its internal content
The format is “outdated”, so it is rarely supported by modern car radios
It has a rather low quality of reproduced sound and a large file size
WMA is a format developed by Microsoft Corporation and is used for playing and storing audio data.
In fact, it is an alternative size to MP3
A distinctive feature from other audio sizes is the highest encoding rates (compression and surround sound and voice), this allows you to get files of a fairly small size
The format uses the Lossless method, which allows you to maintain the quality of all encoded data
The disadvantage is the low threshold of its sensitivity to errors
If data is damaged, then it will be impossible to reproduce it not only in the area of damage, but also 5-10 seconds before the damage and the same amount after that
AAC - some car radios today support this format, the m4a file extension (meaning a file without any protection)
The main feature is the lower quality loss that occurs during compression compared to similar MP3 sizes
It is used much less frequently than other similar formats (like MP3, WMA)
There are a number of formats that are practically not supported by car radios.
These are outdated formats for lossless information compression - WV, ALAC, MLP, Monkey`s Audio APE, TTA
They occupy large amounts of data and are used in acoustic systems of recording studios, in high-quality sound reproduction equipment and specific sound devices.
The only exception to the rule is the FLAC size.
At the moment, this is one of the audio codecs still supported in car radios that uses the Lossless recording method.
A distinctive characteristic from similar formats is that information from the audio stream is not deleted and remains in its original form after it is compressed.

Pioneer radio does not read video from flash drive

After the car fell into my hands, I began to suspect that something was going wrong. And only on the second day I understood. There is a standard Panasonic cq-cne radio. After talking with the former owner, it turned out that the radio seemed to be working, but there was no sound. And so it turned out. It receives discs, it picks up the radio, it responds to all buttons. To begin with, I pulled out the radio and connected a speaker from the music.

How to make a video recorder read? It is written that it supports MPEG4. but the radio says that this format is not available.

Why so many difficulties?

The Fat32 format has a number of disadvantages. One of them does not allow a flash drive to supplant the computer’s boot disk, eliminating disks from use once and for all - this format is not designed for recording, storing and transmitting a large amount of information. For example, this is what prevents the computer’s operating system from being written to the media, and a disk drive in the computer is still needed. The largest file that can be written to a flash drive in Fat32 format is 4 gigabytes. Besides it, there are other formats: exFat, NTFS and others. The user is invited to independently choose which format is better and which one is needed. Having found out the format that the radio tape recorder assumes, or simply deciding to find the one you need, you can safely start formatting.

Converting video files for MMS Lada

All regular MMCs (2190 or 2192) have a weak processor and a small amount of memory. With such characteristics, the device is simply not capable of smoothly playing high-quality 720p movies and clips and others. But any video file can be recoded.

1. You can convert video files for MMS using special programs. For example, Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate or Freemake Video Converter. The second one can be downloaded completely free of charge.

Video converters allow you to work with video files in various formats, for example, MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, MP3, DVD, 3GP, SWF, FLV, HD, MOV, RM, QT, Divx, Xvid, TS, Fraps, etc. They also support all modern codecs: H.264, MKV, MPEG4, AAC.

The guide to converting video files is simple. Launch the converter on your PC -> Select a video file -> Specify the required quality -> Click “Convert”. The resulting output file will be played on MMC without any brakes.

2. Another program for converting video files is XviD4PSP.

The characteristics of the MMC indicate a supported video resolution of 240x320px, but according to reviews, the multimedia device is capable of playing files with a resolution of 640x480px. But 720x576px will slow down. Take these features into account when converting files or when downloading videos for MMS from the Internet.

How to connect a flash drive to a car radio

If there is no special connector for USB, then the flash drive can be connected to the radio in other ways.

Modulator

This is a listening device that transmits signals from a flash drive over a radio channel. It must be connected via the cigarette lighter. We'll have to modify the radio a little.

Connection instructions:

Next, you need to connect the audio output of the modulator and the input of the car radio with a wire. This device is suitable for playing in a car.

USB adapter

This is a device for connecting a flash drive. It is connected to the audio outputs of the radio.

Installation is as follows:

If necessary, you can connect the adapter to the glove compartment or another place where it will not interfere with driving the vehicle.

Adapter

For this type of connection, you need to make modifications for a flash drive.

The whole procedure boils down to the following:

In the end, all that remains is to activate the AUX function.

Via AUX

If there is no AUX connector, then the flash drive is connected to the standard radio.

In this case, it is necessary to modify the device:

The wires must be covered with shrink film.

Choosing a suitable radio

To listen to music from a flash drive, you need to choose the right radio. Popular devices are from Pioneer, Alpine, JVC and Sony.

It is important to pay attention not only to the proportions between signal and noise, sound power, size and type of device, its sensitivity and other criteria, but also to choose a device with USB.

For example, the following radios are suitable: Pioneer MVH-1400UB, Pioneer DEH-6400BT, Mystery MDD-6220S.

How to get rid of video blocking on your radio

Of course, these blockages need to be removed. In this case, for a signal from the handbrake, it is necessary to apply “minus” to the corresponding wire of the radio. And for the speed sensor, if it is on the radio, then just cut it. In this case, all restrictions will be lifted, and the radio will be able to show video while driving. Well, in order not to tell everything only in words, here we will give a specific example. As an example, the pinout and necessary actions will be shown in order to provide video while driving on the standard Toyota Prado 2014-2017 radio.

This “unlocking” is done in three stages. First, cut the wire on the radio from the handbrake. In our case, this is pin 15 on PIN 90980-12555. We isolate one end that goes to the radio, and connect the other end, which is from the radio, to the ground, to the case. There are two stages. Now all that remains is to deal with the speed sensor, or rather the signal from it. Here we simply cut the wire and insulate it at both ends. For clarity, everything is also shown in the picture.

Now our radio shows video even while driving. Well, I would like to say two things again.

First, this algorithm is suitable not only for a specific case, but is also applicable in general to all radios that refuse to display video in motion. Second, but perhaps more important, the driver should not be distracted while driving the video on the radio. After all, the most important thing for him is visualization of what is happening around him, and if you lose such connection with the situation, then this is fraught with trouble.

Formatting procedure

In order for the radio to be guaranteed to recognize a flash drive, its file system format must comply with the FAT32 standard. Of course, some modern equipment of this type can also work with the NTFS file system, but not all radios can do this. Therefore, if you want to be 100% sure that the USB drive will fit the device, you need to format it to FAT32 before recording audio files. Moreover, it is important to perform the process in exactly this order: first formatting, and only then copying musical compositions.

Attention! Formatting involves deleting all data on the flash drive. Therefore, if files that are important to you are stored on it, be sure to transfer them to another storage medium before starting the procedure.

But first you need to check what file system the flash drive currently has. It may not need to be formatted.

To do this, connect the flash drive to the computer, and then through the main menu, a shortcut on the “Desktop” or the “Start” button, go to the “Computer” section.

The specified window displays all drives connected to the PC, including hard drives, USB and optical media. Find the flash drive you are going to connect to the radio and right-click on its name. In the list that appears, click on “Properties”.

If the “File system” option is “FAT32”, this means that the media is already prepared for interaction with the radio and you can safely record music on it without additional steps.

Tips on what should be the format of a flash drive for a radio

Floppy disks and disks have been replaced by new storage media - flash drives. Compact, roomy, they make work more comfortable. The flash drive fully complies with modern requirements. Almost all equipment is designed to work with it. It’s already difficult to do without it. But it has a number of disadvantages that create unnecessary obstacles in working with technology. This is especially noticeable in the case of a car radio - it is impossible to install the firmware or read the music. Without music, the car loses some of its comfort.
