Flash drives may or may not come formatted. The USB sound input could be: 1. An access to a computer that will treat the USB device as Mass Storage and try to mount a FAT filesystem 2. Access to a peripheral that acts as a USB Audio device, in which case you need to supply a computer that can play sound through that. (Linux knows how.) Hyundai offers several options, documented here: https://www.hyundaiusa.com/connectivity/index.aspx Kia offers options as well: https://www.kia.com/us/en/content/technology/uvo/overview -dsr-
