I had read if I get a usb external hard drive and format it to fat32 I can use it with the ford mysinc.. I did all that.. Plug it in.. Hard drive spins and lights up but screen says no USB connected.. Any ideas? I bought the WD 1 terabyte red Usb drive.

Single partition?  Possible that MySync is unable to read partitions that large.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Try it with an external power supply.  Start the car, power the drive, insert the usb.

My other concern is if the OS of sync/mft can read a partition that big.

Lol it won't be full but it was cheaper than a stick!
I think it was on a raptor forum I saw he said it would read with the smaller fat32 setup. I dont know much about that stuff tho
