Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / October 2007Connecting a Hard drive to a Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB
According to the documentation that came with my Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB, I'm supposed to be able to connect up to a 250 GB sized portable hard drive to the USB. However, when I plug in my USB powered, 160 GB, Western Digital WD Passport (WD1600U017-004) portable drive, the deck won't read it. Does anyone know if this hard drive cannot be recognized by the deck? I loaded my MP3's onto the drive in folder style just like the manual shows, but it is not working. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? If the drive is not seen by your computer, how did you manage to load any folders and files onto it? >Don > According to the documentation that came with my Pioneer Premier DEH-P690UB, > I'm supposed to be able to connect up to a 250 GB sized portable hard drive [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Don Per the manual for the DEH-P690UB, any drive you connect via USB must be formatted in FAT12, FAT16, or FAT32. It may be currently be formatted in NTFS - which would make it so that your deck can't read it. The only other guess I have is that the supply current from the deck is only 500mA, and perhaps your portable hard drive requires more... Hope that helps, ~Mister.Lull >> According to the documentation that came with my Pioneer Premier >> DEH-P690UB, [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Hope that helps, > ~Mister.Lull Great info. I got this FAT32 format utility off the WD website http://support.wdc.com/download/external/ExtFat32.zip and formatted the 160MB drive in FAT32, reloaded the music, and it still doesn't work. All I get is "NO DEVICE" on the deck's display. The documentation with the drive does not specify how much power it uses so I emailed that question to WD.

You may just want to ask WD (if you haven't already) if they know about any compatability issues. Good Luck! ~Mister.Lull > >> According to the documentation that came with my Pioneer Premier > >> DEH-P690UB, [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Don If the hard drive has a "go to sleep mode if no activity" feature, disable it. I'm assuming the drive doesnt spin up. > > >> According to the documentation that came with my Pioneer Premier > > >>DEH-P690UB, [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Did you ever resolve this ? I have the same problem with 2.5" Hitachi TravelStar (notebook drive). I did get it to work with my Archos 404 but that has its own power. |
