USB Gloves

vw sound system not displaying mp3 track titles?

I have a VW (Passat) with vw sound and a built in GPS system. I have added the VW USB adapter (it fits in the glove box) and treats your USB stick as a cd changer, but none of the titles of the songs are appearing. All I get is Track 1, Track 2. All the other mp3 players I have tried show the titles - what can I do to resolve this issue? (the garage hasn't got a clue - they even thought the car had an mp3 player in it before I had to add this one)

1. Some units are not capable of reading and displaying mp3 tags and therefore will only show the track number. Especially if the USB adapter is one that has to utilize the CD Changer input of the head unit, then it's simply reading the mp3's as if they are tracks on a CD in a changer. Nothing you can do about it other than replacing the head unit with one that has built in USB which would be capable of reading mp3 tags.
