We are in Australia & have just purchased a 2016 outlander exceed diesel. We have had it 13 days & just finished one part of our holidays. We left home with 900klms on it & it now has 2563klms on it. By the end of our first leg of the trip through cities, constant roadworks & some really nice flowing roads, we have a 6.9ltrs/100klms. Loving the car.
My only dislike is how some of the entertainment systems locks you out once your driving. I understand why they do it, but it sucks for the passenger who can't change the music folder on either usb sd card, or enter in a new address whilst I drive.
Anyone know of a fix for this issue? Is it a wire or a software fix needed?

I have had the same problem using USB drives. In reseaching this forum and other sites I stumbled on a solution.
Prepare three (3) more USB drive with a couple of songs on each.
Remove your preferred USB (the one with the issue)
Plug in each of the other three USBs in turn, allowing it to read the structure and start playing - This seems to clear the unit's "memory" of the file structure for the preferred USB.
Re-install the preferred USB, play-on.
I cannot find anything in the owners manual about USB maximum size - manual states "storage capacity of 256Mbytes or more", up to 700 folders with a file structure (including root level) of 8 levels, and will play Mp3, WMA, ACC and WAV.
