> sorry to be the one to tell you. The max you can run on a deck is 32GB from a usb. External hard drives cannot be supported. I have tried all deck on the market as of March 22nd, 2009. Alpine is working on something to work these problems out. Alpine is also the only company that can support a 32GB. The alternative to this problem for big GB of music is to buy and alpine media deck, buy an ipod classic with 260GB, plug in and jam.

… OR

format your HardDrive to FAT32 and download the size limiter firmware, search google under your harddrive name.

Your deck will read the harddrive as a 10 GB thumbkey, and will display all the songs x times smaller then they really are.
