Wondering if anyone has encountered this same issue... I got a new XE 2019 R Sport model three weeks ago, and my previous car was a VW Golf, in which a SanDisk 32gb USB with about 17gb of music on it, played without issue for over three years. No matter if your journey was five minutes, five hours, or if the Golf was inactive for two weeks while you were on holiday, every time you returned to the car, the USB resumed playback at the exact spot you were at the last time you were in the car.
Using the same stick in the Jaguar has been nothing but problematic. The main issue being the system never resumes from the spot you were at. If you were listening to a particular artist you had about 80 songs by, and had listened to 3 of them before stopping at your local petrol station for five minutes, when starting the car again, the system plays the radio, and when you navigate back to USB, starts playing at the first track alphabetically on the stick. If you drive for an hour or so and get through 15 or 16 songs by your chosen artist - same thing. Annoyingly, it initially plays a radio station, and then never, ever, picks up where you left it. Same thing overnight. You might have been enjoying 25 songs by whoever is your choice, and simply wanted to pick up where you left off the next day - nope, system plays the radio on start up, and loses the place you were last listening to.
The car was in for a software update, no joy, same problem persists. The dealership are currently waiting for Jaguar technical dept to get back to them with a fix. I know it isn't the end of the world, but it is annoying that a 36k car's system cannot do what the one in the VW Golf did with ease for three years. With no CD player in the car, I need the USB to work as it did in the Golf.
I tried erasing the USB, making sure it was FAT 32 formatted, and tried simply having the MP3 files in one lump on the USB without arranging them in artist-specific folders. No joy, same issue. Every time you press the ignition button, the radio comes on, and after navigating your way back to the USB, you are immediately back to 'song one', which in my case happens to be '12 Fingers' by Young The Giant, as that is alphabetically the first song...and a song I am rapidly becoming sick and tired of hearing the opening bars of, every time I fire up the engine.
Any input or info' greatly appreciated!
