I play my music from itunes with my Ipad mini plugged into the USB port and I can control it from the Ride Command screen . Maybe it's not compatible with MP3 ?

 

Try this.....turn on the RZR. Do not have the drive plugged in. Go to the radio station and have music coming out, then plug in the drive, switch to the USB menu and see if your music plays,

if not, then try this...

Format your drive to exFAT and do the long format not short. Look online for a free mp3 demo song and load that on the drive. Follow the above sequence for starting the drive. When I did this my drive was 32gb.

 

I have the same machine you do, but have never tried playing music from USB. So I dropped a few mp3 files onto a little 256MB stick formatted as FAT. Plugged it into the RZR, turned it on, selected the USB source and it worked perfectly.

 

Is that formatted to fat 32? That is what the Polaris rep said I had to have the usb flashdrive formatted to play, but it still is not working.

 

Make sure you select the correct source on the radio (USB input)

 

Take the music files out of there folder and put them on the root of the USB drive.


See of that works

 

I just found out that even though itunes is saying it converted to mp3 which is required, it is still actually mp4 and that won't work. I believe it is itunes that is causing the problem, not the Ride command. Trying to figure out why itunes is saying they are converted when they aren't. Thanks all.

I agree this is likely the problem. You may have to revisit your iTunes software and check your settings. The default setting is NOT MP3.
