Tried using it with a thumb drive on 2014 A6. MMI did not recognize it. What am I doing wrong?

How did you format it and what type is it? The cheap ones will not work, I found there is actually a big difference in the quality of USB sticks and its no surprise the cheap ones don't even get recognized by MMI....

Make sure the cable is fully inserted in the MMI, that's what happened to me. Also make sure your thumb drive doesnt have any type of security and that it contains valid mp3 files. Other than that you could have gotten a faulty cable. The cable works great on my 2013 Audi Q5 which I suspect should be de same audio system (not completely sure).

It should work. What do you mean not recognized? Can you not see the drive in Disk Utilities in order to format the drive?

I have used this cable only in my 2011 E350 and it worked fine when I connected a USB flash drive with my music and I understand that it should work with a portable hard drive. It does not work when I tried connecting my phone or MP3 player, but I did not buy it thinking it would, I just wanted to use a flash drive.

That is what I have as well. It worked fine with that. I am not sure what happened, I can only say I followed the directions, and after I tried it, nothing plugged into my USB ports worked, only the valet. Sorry I'm no real help.

This website should help. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-3.0-thumb-drive-review,3477-7.html

this thing does not work as well as it should, it's basically a bandaid. I suggest buying a new 2014 MB like I did to remedy this as the interface in the new vehicles works amazing and I have not been happier. Hope that helps and it's being very honest.

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

I'd like to add one further data point to the Audi issue. On my 2010 A4 (B8) with MMI cable, it does work, although the connection is not that stable, and it frequently needs to be "re-paired."

I've been able to format every thumb drive smaller than 64GB to FATxx. Don't have any reason why this one would refuse the format.

Try using a flash drive instead. On a second machine or friend ask them to upload your driver to a flash drive.

I just tried it on my 2013 Audi A4 (B8.5) with MMI, and unfortunately it does not work. It lights up, it lets me pair with my iPhone6, and it shows it is connected on the phone, but on the Audi MMI screen it shows a message that it is initializing the device. I could not get any sound to come from it at all.

I would try formatting it through the camera... The manual for this camera says it takes SD or MMC memory cards. If you use another kind (CF, MS, xD, or SM) then it's unlikely to work. I have had mine for many years and it is a GREAT camera.. don't give up on it :)

msata and m.2 are different sockets, not interchangeable; you need to make sure you have the right one, maybe open it up and see

Very simple. Plug it into your device. Than plug it into your computer. You may have to go into disk management if the device doesn't show up. Basically it works like an external or thumb drive.

Hey Max,No instructions as far as I know. I threw my unit away. It didn't work in anything. The only one we got to work are the $300 units. Not the cheap ones. I haven't seen the one we used, online for a long time. My only other suggestion would be to use the one that you have to format the Flash Drives into 100 sectors of 1.4 mg each. But I don't grantee the results. As always, Buyer beware!

Did you read the user guide? I bought mine at least five years ago, but here's what it says: The smaller slot is for Secure Digital, Multimedia Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, and xD Picture Cards. The larger slot will accept Compact Flash cards. I think the Smartparts is confusing to use, poorly designed. It also won't always accept a USB thumbdrive (Smartparts customer service advised against using one). Sorry I can't offer more assistance, but perhaps you've solved the problem by now.

Do work for me, on a few cars..If you with transfer mean playing music from the AK240.Do not think you can do file copy over Bluetooth to internal storage if you have that on the music system in the car.Also its about protocol compatibility, if your car is very old, it will maybe not work (A2DP) support should the music system have.Bluetooth 4.0-compatible (A2DP, not recommended for files with sampling rates greater than 48kHz)So happy listening. :)
