The USB system has limits that CANNOT be overridden. While some people have reportedly gotten 32gb drives to work, larger USB drives are NOT supported. There's also a limit on the number of folders, number of files per folder, and overall number of files that the system will recognize. These are noted in your Owners Manual. Also the USB has to be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32 as it will not recognize the NTFS format.

You'll find an ipod will give you more flexibility, but in all honesty most people just replace the head unit with a decent off the shelf radio with more functionality and better sound.

Do you not have a copy of the Owners Manual?
Heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems - Section 4-35 (pg 170).

Try plugging it in. Either it works or you'll get an error message saying it's unsupported.

Thanks but they're not the same vehicle. Your 2015 'S' is a 2nd gen model. The OP has a 2015 Select which is a 1st gen model.
