Just got my 14 GT last Saturday. I copied two folders of mp3s in my usb drive but the car is saying that it is an empty drive. How do I use this usb drive in my car?

some things come to mind:

1) how is the drive formatted? It has to be FAT32; if it's 32 GB or larger it might have been formatted as NTFS or exFAT (or HFS if it was formatted on a Mac.)

2) SYNC Gen1 is a bit picky, it requires that music files have the tag data for Artist, Album, Title, Track #, and Genre filled in before it will index them.

3) make sure the files are actually mp3 files; even if they have the .mp3 extension they might be something different. SYNC Gen1 can play mp3, AAC (.m4a extension,) and Windows Media (.wma.) It can't play .wav files.

I formatted the usb drive as fat32 and copied 2 folders with several mp3's inside them. Still it says that the usb drive is empty.

My car has an assembly date of Oct 2013. Is that Sync Gen 1?

all Mustangs are still SYNC Gen1. check your mp3 files and make sure they have the tag info I posted above.
