Hi
I have connected an external HD 500gb on my radio and it works great except that it doesn't read/recognise FLAC files :(
I know that newer cars (ie 2015) can read this type of file.
Is there anything I can do to make my radio reading them?
Thanks

What version of the firmware do you have? Only the latest firmware has the ability to play FLACs.

Mine is K_0770, and it does not play FLAC.

Can I update the firmware to a newer version ?

You have the RMC system. I suspect to have any chance of playing FLAC files you would need the 3g+ system

Yep I think so too. To bad, too expensive to move to 3G+.
It reads all formats but flac si not too much of a big deal.

I have the 3g+, but no FLAC (K_0770/MY2012), do you have any idea what I have to do to use .flac files? :)
