11. I tried using a USB drive in my 2026 CR-V

Instead of USB ports, they use C-cables. I have two ports, one for charging and a dual one that charges and transfers data. The dual one allows me to play music, take/make phone calls and,messages, use Waze, SiriusXM to my infotainment center or I can connect by wifi.

Since there is no USB connector, I bought a USB adapter allowing me to connect a C-cable and a USB drive. I formatted the USB drive to exFat, like the manual said, but the infotainment doesn't recognize the connection. I've looked online and watched YouTube videos on how other were able to do it but it doesn't work for my.

I guess I'll have to contact Honda to see what the problem is.
