Per the service manual, the only two playable formats are MP3 and WMA.msusser said:Is it me , or does the Leaf not recognize m4a files via a flash drive (via usb port)??
I wonder if it has to do with the Microsoft OS that the head unit allegedly runs...?lemketron said:Wow, that is unfortunate! Interesting they have better bluetooth support than most but can't play AAC files? :-(
Right. Unfortunately, we have to choose between USB mode and 1A charging. On the plus side, if you're using an iDevice with OS 5.x, the Bluetooth audio is nearly indistinguishable from USB mode, so you can opt for 1A charging and still play music over Bluetooth.Electric4Me said:Speaking of USB ports, I found out today that the one in the Leaf is a standard 5W output, and won't charge the ipad. Does anyone know of a way to mod it to output 10W? Or maybe use a USB hub that powered by the 12V socket?
I've bought a 10W USB adapter for the 12V socket, but that doesn't let me use the built-in USB functionality...

The USB 2.0 spec only supports up to 500mA. Lower-power ports may provide as little as 100mA.Electric4Me said:...Just a correction though, the standard USB current is 1A, and the high power ones (required to charge the ipad) is 2A.
Aaaahhh... I see that you're correct. (confirmed here)DeaneG said:The USB 2.0 spec only supports up to 500mA. Lower-power ports may provide as little as 100mA.Electric4Me said:...Just a correction though, the standard USB current is 1A, and the high power ones (required to charge the ipad) is 2A.
