1 - Why would you post this in a subforum about an entirely different unit (The G4)?
2 - What you want is probably not going to happen. Most headunits with USB ports can only read flash memory drives.
3 - You want an alternative? Install a PC in y9our ride.

1 - This forum is mostly stock vBulletin. The layout is bone stock, so I don't understand your navigational issues.

2 - some models have an add-on module that will allow connection of a USB hard drive. I have heard that some headunits will allow connection of a USB hard drive, but I don't know makes and models.

3 - Learn to navigate this site and learn a thing or three. We're all about PCs in rides here.
