ps when it wouldnt play the video it did play a dvd
thanx in advance for any feedback
your flash drive is probably too big for that JVC to handle. try an 8GB or read the manual and it should tell you what is the max size for a jump drive.

most jvc's that i have used only have run up to a 4gb succesfully.
like soundnsecurity said try a smaller flash drive.

in process of changing everything
No Idea how old your unit is, but the first generation of every manufacturers USB decks would read no bigger that a 4 Gig drive. So a third vote on try a smaller drive.
ok guy ill try with a smaller flash drive but i still think i might jave another problem since at times the screen shows black (but you can hear the music) and as soon as i detach the face and put it back on it will work
Some headunits lack enough power to operate larger flashdrives. have this problem with my Alpine W-505. Some forums have touched on hooking up a powered usb hub and converting it to 12 volts and then plugging the usb drive into the hub then the hub into the Headunit. I just decided to burn more mp3's instead of going through the hassle. Another option is to get a cigarette lighter usb charger and a usb y cable. Connect the car lighter charger to one end of the y then the flash drive to the other then plug into the headunit. Any of these do at your own risk you might blow a fuse on the headunit or worse.
Good Luck!

about a month ago i purchased a jvc 810 double din and had so many problems with it it wouldnt play songs or videos from my external flashdrive so i took it back and now i have the camilion and i gotta tell you to me its a better unit picture is better quality and plays any song or video from the same flash drive. its the same as the 810 but smaller to me it was a wise dessision what do you think anybody share my thoughts?
