I just bought a JVC KD-AVX77. Nice little stereo for the pickup.
I was reading through the manual and it has a warning:
"Do not start the car engine if a USB device is connected."
I thought maybe having a USB device connected would initiate firmware update or some crap.
So I emailed JVC Customer Support and this is the answer I got:
"I understand that you are inquiring about the USB port of your JVC Mobile stereo. The main reason why the manual is suggesting to disconnect all USB devices while starting your vehicle's engine is to protect the unit (as well as your USB device) from any possible electronic feedback that may occur during the engine cranking process. This feedback will cause any electronic devices to glitch or malfunction over time."
I don't pretend to know everything....but I can't imagine how a simple thumbdrive would be affected. MAYBE a powered USB device like an iPod, but even then.......
Anyone have any ideas??? I have a cheap 1GB thumbdrive that I wouldn't care if it got toasted, but I am a bit concerned about the head unit.
