Entune 3.1 update?

I did the update a few days ago on my '13 Limited. Hopefully it will fix the reboot issue I've been having. It's happened three times so far. I'll be listening to MP3s via a USB stick and the headunit will go blank, then reboot. The music stops during the reboot, of course. I haven't played with the navigation in it yet, so I can't say if it reboots while using that too.
 
Just did the update to my '13 Trail (was at 2.2). iPod Classic no longer auto plays when connected which is great. It didn't help with a different, really annoying, issue where music plays slowly though.

i'm not sure if there is a limit to the size or number of mp3s on a ipod or usb stick. (i vaguely remember reading about it in the manual somewhere)

i know i've had problems when i fill up my ipod classic (i think it's 6th gen) with 60 out of 80 gigs of music.

the problem being that the headunit in general gets wonky. like bluetooth not working. things locking up. i haven't experienced reboots though.

i have 10 or 20 gigs of music on there and it's been ok and has been for about a year.

maybe you can try using the headunit and entunes without the usb stick or have less music on there and see if that changes anything. curious to know if that fixes it for you.

also, has anyone else experienced these issues when putting a large number of mp3s on a usb stick or ipod?

with mp3 and using a usb drive, you can only have 512 files within the root folder in a fat16 format, 65k in a fat32 with a exception.

the exception is that long file names and file size reduce that amount.

The USB stick I have in there is only 2GB and only has ~150 songs on it, so I don't think that's the issue, but thank you for the info. It's good to know there is a limit. I was disappointed that it won't read folders by default, since scrolling through hundreds of songs is annoying. :)
 
I have my completely full 160 Gb iPod Classic connected with no issues at all. I've never used a USB stick. My songs are all in ALAC format, so not as many songs as being in mp3 format.
 
I've been reading others talking about their vehicles chirping when new txt msgs come through with their iphones connected. I haven't found that to be the case. Anyone else? I see there's option for txt msgs on the screen but nothing more than that.

I've noticed a sound, and a box displays on the screen that says "New Text Message", or something close to that. Mine's a 4S running ios 7.
 
I did the update the other week, everything went smooth. But this evening I noticed my nav still will not go to night mode even though I have the setting to "automatic". Any suggestions?

Is the dash lighting rheostat switch clicked to bright ?
 
Update on this...

The rebooting issue continues as much or more than before the update, so it didn't help with it, unfortunately. Sometimes, the music (via USB stick) will keep playing but the controls freeze up (track changing buttons non-responsive, etc) or the screen goes blank. The only way to recover is to shut the vehicle off and start it up again. It's not worth a separate trip to the dealer, but I'll have to add it to the short list of issues for a future visit.

try the 3.2 thread I posted.
 
have you tried using entune without the usb stick just for debugging?

maybe also without bluetooth or with a different phone (again just for debugging purposes)

i have issues with the music player on the phone freezing (but it makes it look like entunes has crashed) and i would have to reboot my phone.

how did you format your usb stick? maybe how the mp3s are encoded? maybe try a different usb stick? just throwing out ideas.

Question - would my brand new (March 2014) trail premium come with Entune 3.2 factory installed? How can I tell if it's already installed or if I should do the update described here?
