Mode button - LH side of steering wheel.

The mode button on my Niro 4 switches between AM, FM/DAB and USB.
My user manual it says it should switch between AM, FM/DAB, USB and My Music.
My Music is missing - it is presumably a hard drive.
User manual says it should be there and shows that it allows USB music files to be marked for copying to My Music.
Since I ripped some of my CD's to a USB Flash Drive this would be a useful feature.
Could reason for this be that I do not have a smartphone connected?
Seems unlikely.
Any ideas anyone ?

If you have My Music enabled, it's possible that it won't show up until you've actually copied music to it from your USB drive. Perhaps plugin in your USB drive and copy some files over, then see if it appears.

Pippy. Polo if it's enabled on your Niro (It wasn't on my car but I haven't checked since I had the firmware updated) you can do it via instructions on page 5/23 from the instruction manual which can be downloaded from here:

Note however that this isn't the same as the UK manual I got so it's quite possible that it's not available on UK cars.

My understanding is UK do not have the onboard hard drive that some US cars have.

One solution is to play your MP3 files via Bluetooth on the phone. Alternatively, use Android Auto or Carplay for a better experience, especially if you have a lot of data and one of the music subscriptions.
I have a google play music subscription and I do like being able to play pretty much any song or album I can think of just by pressing the voice button and saying "Play <track> by <artist>" when Android Auto is running.
