Hello, just a quick question. On a 2012 Westminster is it ok to leave a usb stick with music on it (in the centre console) all the time or should it be removed when the vehicle is not in use ? It doesn’t say in the manual. Thanks.

Ours is left fitted.

Ours is fitted all the time, has been for 3 years, no issues at all.

Same music for three years

I used auto updating playlists nearly every day, couldn't imagine still listening to stuff from three years ago.

I used mine for like 2 days, then went back to CDs. Better dynamic range.

Depends on how the CD is mastered, they can be but often are not that great. Same as with USB or other streaming media. They can be great, but don’t have to be.

Either way, even in a Range Rover the other influences of the car acoustics, sound system, road etc likely negate any noticeable differences.

In my opinion and experience naturally.


Switching off the awful logic 7 for music has the biggest positive impact 👍

Yeah. I have a LINN system in the house and can tell the difference. I do like my tunes. Don’t get to use the car as much now we are working from home.

One day.....

Ouch....

But Jethro Tull, Genesis and Yes haven't relapsed anything new for years, so makes no difference to me

Hehehe fair enough. I was expecting something like that 👍

My daughter is a DJ / Producer, I wouldn’t survive as I’m outnumbered, listening to dad rock 🤣

But some of the members of said bands may have .

Good spot, whilst I'd like to take credit for that, it *was* the autocorrect!
