I have just bought a CD-UB100 to use with an old head unit: the Premier DEH-P920R. I can confirm that with this unit the only names that get displayed are F001, F002, etc for the folders and T001, T002, etc for the tracks, because this is exactly what I got when I used a pendrive (1GB).

Now, making it work with an USB HDD is another story.

I tried to use two different 2.5" USB enclosures and had no success with them. One enclosure was simply not recognized by the CD-UB100 (NODEVICE message appears). The other enclosure is apparently recognized but it displays a "READING" message forever.

kingchicken: Have you succeed using your CD-UB100 unit with an USB HDD? Could you please detail exactly what HDD you're using, how it was formatted as well as the manufacture date of your CD-UB100?

Pioneer Man: I saw your post saying that when we connect a large HDD it can take a while for it to be up and running. Then I was wondering if I should wait a little bit more for the "READING" message to go away. Do you have and idea of how long it can take for an HDD to be recognized? Do you think this could have anything to do with the fact that I'm using an old head unit to control it?

I'm using a 2.5" 80GB notebook HDD formatted with a single FAT32 primary partition in an USB enclosure. My CD-UB100 unit manufacture date is November 2006.

Thanks!
