USB music restarting on start up

I have a Sandisk Ultrafit 3.1 128GB USB stick that I’m running my music from, FAT32 formatted, the car has no issues with playback whatsoever, but whenever I turn the car off, when I come back, it will restart with the “first” song on the USB stick. It doesn’t do this if I switch sources and switch back without turning the car off, but once I do turn it off it always forgets where playback was and resets. I only have about 10GB worth of music on the drive if that makes any difference. Has anyone experienced anything like this? It’s not the worst problem in the world to have but hearing the same song EVERY time you get in the car and having to go pick music every time is admittedly a little tedious. Thoughts?

Same issue - Music keeps restarting from USB Flash drive

Good day,

Was just wondering if there is any update here. I too have the exact same flash drive (Scandisk 128GB USB3.1) and the music keeps restarting. I have it formatted to fat32. I am just a little concerned that the BMW media center does not remember the last song played.

I will try and troubleshoot and update should I make any progress.

Many thanks.

If you upload your USB content to a Music Collection Hard drive it will remember for sure.

I just started getting the same problem when i switched to the sandisk 128gb usb drive. I never had a problem before this with generic micro center 32gb flash drives and ive tried a few things. I believe its based on size, thats the only thing i can think of. I have the same music on both drives and whenever i use the microcenter 32gb, it always turns back on where it left off. With the sandisk, it always reverts back to first song in root folder. Super annoying because its an embarassing song that i'd rather not hear everytime i start my car lol.

My SD Ultrafit 64GB restarts every single time. Super annoying.

Samsung makes a small form factor USB that I might try.

Well, after my car finally upgraded itself to 07/2020.80 iDrive is remembering where it left off with the Ultrafit.

I have posted on this a ton of times. Super annoying. Don't understand why BMW has made this so difficult just to play our music...
