MP3 player always indexing

Every so often when I start up my truck it has to index the device. It has done this on both of my trucks. Anyway to get it to stop doing this?

Never had that happen. Not on my 11 F-150 nor the 14 Raptor even though different systems. What's plugged in, just a USB thumb drive?

64GB Zune mp3 player.

Also I leave it plugged in and it doesn't leave the truck.

Zune is most likely the issue. Even though they are both Microsoft, doesn't mean they work flawless together. All Microsoft did is provide Ford the platform to build upon. It was Ford programmers that did it poorly.

A 64gb flash drive is around $20 now days. Get a name brand one off Amazon and transfer your music to that and leave it in. You will have a LOT better luck with that setup and just pick your music from the truck, or try the talking to it to play what you want.

OK I will give that a try. Thanks.

It happens about every 3 to 4 days and it is just really annoying.

@The Car Stereo Company On a side note if I have factory remote start and i get a viper 2 way security system installed. Will the Viper system be able to work the factory remote start?

if wired correctly. you need to use d2d and it will work seamlessly

Would it have an extended range or still the stock range?
