I played MP3's from a jump drive through the one in my 2013 but it is in the center console so it might be different.

depending on the type of phone you have, you may have to enter into a "usb storage" mode before the car will see the device as a flash drive. For example, with android phones I have, when I plug in the USB, the usb icon appears in the notification and I have to select it, then enable usb storage.

ok, i download the songs to a jumpdrive in wma mode, it dont work. i guess it only read mp3 on the usb. i convert it to mp3, it work fine. my next question, how can it shuffle randomly, i dont want to hear the same group/artist down the lists thru alphabetical order. when i skip forward, it went to the next song but not different artist.

regarding the phone, i use the "usb storage" and it dont work either.
