Did you really expect a 3.5mm audio jack to read a USB stick?

Ok. Ill be nice but there are multiple problems.

1 there is nothing powering the usb drive
2 you would need to control the usb drive (play/pause skip etc)
3 you also need a digital to analog converter to convert the files into an audio signal for the aux.

There are devices which can act as an interface but a plain adapter isnt going to work.

kenwood use to make something with a small screen
that would plug into the usb and play music through the aux
don't know if the still do . It had an idrive like knob for control.
Thought it was the kos 300 or something like that.
There are plenty of bluetooth dongles that do strealming music although there quality may vary lot.

Sorry boys, im not good in those electric stuff and how it works...

I tought that its not complicated to use it..control it with steering wheel...but now i see its not possible like that

If you want steering wheel controls you need
to retrofit to a mulf-2 high module and program in
the 6fl option or use something like the Dension 500s bt gateway
or similar mobridge device. You could also retrofit a head unit
that has all these features .
