Most 64GB sticks cannot be formatted as normal FAT32 because they do not support variable sector/cluster sizes. You will need to format the 64GB memory stick as NTFS. The car does read NTFS disks. Both my 64GB stick and my USB HDD are formatted as NTFS.
That's a Windows limitation. You should be able to "format" the stick as FAT32 it just wouldn't be able to use all of volume b/c FAT32 only supports a max size of 32 GB. Or it's a limitation of the car's system.
