Nate Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I have a Joying Android 10 Auto unit. The default music player reads the USB just fine. I installed Poweramp, it sees the USB but when I click enable, I get these messages. Also re-scans dont work. This is a brand new unit. Thanks!

MotleyG Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Did you try to enable the File Access Legacy Mode? As long as you are under Android 11, this will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Yea, I tired that last night and still did the same. Not sure if it was the exact same messages or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotleyG Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I think as well you need to enable the drive at the root first, not drill down into any folders. Once the root is enabled, you can them drill down and assign a specific folder for scanning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If you are using Legacy Access mode, you can enable access at the root of the USB device. If you are not though, it's best to grant access to just the folder that you keep your music in: Also, check that the device has the required Files management system tool present: Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I installed Google Files and enable permissions is denied on the drive. The odd thing is the default music app scans and grabs all my music off the car USB just fine, but I want to use Poweramp. Tried legacy and the same error message appears. Is something in the android auto head unit blocking this from other apps? Again, strange the default music player grabs and scans just fine.

andrewilley Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Do other (non manufacturer installed) apps provide access to your USB drive? For example a text or photo editor. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Figured it out. I did have to do legacy, then adding folders to the "Hint" layout worked. For some reason doing it in the settings wouldn't work. Anyhow, working, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure what you mean by that, but glad you got it working anyway! Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
