They didn't charge me. I didn't even know about a cable. I ended up using one that came with a USB wireless network card that I bought. I bought the car back in November. Is it too late to demand they give me the cable?

so how does this work with a flash drive. i believe the usb cable in my car is a male plug (if that's what its called) and usb flash drives are also males. so that means i would have to get a male to male adapter to make it work? i have a 6 disk cd changer but im tired of burning cd's. please help me.

A standard USB cable will not allow yo to access protected music on your IPOD (i.e. music downloaded from Itunes)

I donot have this option, so i may be wrong....
but i guess is that you don't use the cable at all, Shouldn't you be able to plug it in directly ?

Just plug the USB drive into the USB port inside the console. If you have *.mp3s on the stick, you will see the name of the songs come up on the display. For example: I have a song with filename "Money - Pink Floyd.mp3".
