External SSD and G05

Hello,

I did some tests at the dealership with a 2TB SSD disk. It is formatted in FAT-32 and contains a folder with MP3s and a folder with FLACs.

On an X3 G01, the SSD connected in USB-A was immediately recognized, but only the MP3 files were visible and readable.

On an 8 Series (and according to the seller, the same multimedia system as the X5 G05), the SSD disk was not seen by the multimedia system, neither in USB-A, nor in USB-C. However, the disc was powered by the two USB sockets.

How surprising that the G01 can power and read this SSD and not the G05, does anyone have an explanation? Should the disk be formatted in XFAT or other for the G05?

The seller asked the importer the question but received no answer.

Thank you in advance for your help.
