Default Playing a flashdrive thorugh a car radio.

Wait, did you mean the stick as the gizmo or the player in the car as
the gizmo ? I assumed the stick as the gizmo so take my statement
accordingly.

From previous descriptions (here or elsewhere) the gizmo is a 3rd party
device, the USB memory stick loaded with MP3s is plugged into the gizmo,
gizmo is plugged into the car's cigar lighter and the gizmo acts like an
iTrip broadcasting FM which the car's radio receives.

I suppose the gizmo could store the position on the stick rather than
internally, but AFAIK there's no standard for this. My car has a
built-in SD card reader rather than needing a gizmo, I don't think it
ever writes to the SD card.
