Max. size of USB flash-drive for car decks?

That would be best suited for decks like the JVC KD AVX33 that have
rear usb. Make sure your dash isn't in the sunlight, that heat will
cook a hard drive. Or at least shorten it's life. This is what I'll be
doing, like you, with the portable drive. I am going to cushion it and
put it under the seat, run the cable under the carpet, and see how long
it lasts. That is, when I get the aforementioned JVC.
I picked rear USB on purpose also. I like to cover up my stereo and a thumb
drive sticking out wouldn't work. Unplugging it each time is more of a
hassle than people might think, plus you lose the last-played position
(maybe not on all decks). A good hiding spot is under the dash near a fuse-
box that already has a removable panel in front of it. Avoid getting road
dust on the connection and you're good.
