This thing is tiny and much cheaper! It works better for me because I have several MicroSD's laying around and it allows me to change them out like 1 MicroSD for R&B and 1 MicroSD for Rap etc etc.
I highly doubt I will use many MicroSD but having the option is nice since they can just sit inside next to the USB and close the cover so don't they bounce out. But I'll probably just use my 16gb I have and call it for the day lol
Dont forget that you need a micro SD too, its just the reader that cost 7-8$, so if you dont have a card laying around you will have to add that cost.
But your right, its cheap!
Presumably there's very little to go wrong in that eLago reader (as opposed to the LaCie which appears to have poor reliability) so if it fails it's just a case of replacing the SD card?
This is my first post and the following is what I use. The top red LED light can also be used to push out the MicroSD card.
And as I know, the playback order is decided by the date of the file you draw into the USB. So my stupid way is to change the date of the computer if I want to insert some files.

Unfortunately, I've tested this and the files play in written to the usb order (at least in my tests). The time/date stamps did not play chronologically!
The picture above shows the person holding up the USB cover. Does anyone know whether or not the cover will close when you have the adapter inserted? Also, how does the USB perform versus using Bluetooth with an iPhone? Not sure which is better.
I bought the Lacie drive before any posts about reliability were made to this thread. I'm not sure how long it will last but I am so thankful to everyone who posted because without it my 7 hour drive home would not have been nearly as much fun (although the smile is still on my face two days later).
I have a couple spare MicroSD at home, so I bought this USB adapter from eBay. It's probably rebranding from the Elago one, and for $6 it's not too bad even if it doesn't last long.
Just wanted to update the community on my evaluation of the PNY USB adapter. Unfortunately, IT DOES NOT WORK. Reading up on the owner's manual, it specifies that the CT audio system will only take USB drives that are recognized as a mass storage device. The PNY USB adapter is considered a SD card/MMC reader according to Windows, so it cannot be recognized. I've also tried another similar adapter with my micro SD card - same thing. Perhaps some adapters can work as a mass storage device, but you'll have to test or do research to find out. In the end, it might be easier to get a straight-up USB key with a small form factor like the Lexar ZX.
Can anyone help? I am connecting my Android Galaxy thru the usb and I cannot get the car stereo to play my Pandora from my phone.
I must be doing something wrong. thanks
I'm currently using this little guy from Sandisk 64GB of music goodness (As long as you keep your mp3's in folders of 255 files or less the Lexus System has no problem reading the USB)
The door to the USB port also closes just fine with this little guy inside.
Still think Lexus should have put this port in the glove box or center armrest, then we could use thing like iphones and not have cables everywhere - I find I have to reconnect the bluetooth for my iPhone every time I want to stream media from it which is annoying!
