The maximum size for USB drives is 32GB and the drive needs to be formatted in FAT32. While there are drives that can be formatted beyond 32GB using the FAT file system, I believe that is the limit on the original spec.

I haven't tried viewing art work from the glovebox connection, but will let you know.
Thank you for your reply. I was thinking that it might be a max.
I really don't know why this limitations but I would like to know if there is a solution to this.
These days you can buy a 64Gb stick drive no bigger than a thumb and I think that it is more convenient than the Ipod. Still shows the album art, works good, no wires, no visible Ipod on sight.
