    Same problem with usb, on a car stereo, not amp, worked fine for awhile. Then I would randomly get the error. New batteries in device seemed to help once, but then it started up again and even new batteries didn't help. Now happens all the time. The funny thing is that I was using a battery powered mp3 player, finally got an iPod and it gives the error 13 and won't play music, but it will charge it.

    I HAVE A STEREO BOSS 630 U AND WHEN I INSERT THE USB AND SD CARD IT DOESN´T WORK AND APPEAR IN THE DISPLAY AN ERROR LIKE " ERROR 13" AND CAN´T PLAY MY SONGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

    Erro 13 on VRCD500-SDU can be fixed. The causes are:
    1. Not a proper formating of SD card and USB flash memory. Make sure that their formating is FAT or FAT32 ( see owners manual).
    2. Dirty contats inside the USB and SD sockets. Just open the radio it's easy and carefully clean with a brush and alcohol.
    Success !

For those with the VRCD400-SDU, not exactly a solution, but the manual states that . . .

"Error Code 13 = Defective USB / SD Card Reader"

This most likely means your USB and SD card days are over until you can get this replaced. I would call VR3 (1-800-445-1797) their customer support is usually great, however if your warranty is up they might not have the answer your looking for.

I just purchased this unit and installed it yesterday, so far so good (except it won't read my SDHC cards). I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and try to minimize switching SD cards. Of course for the $50 I spent on it I can't complain.

I would suggest calling or find online Crutchfield. They have been car stereo experts for many years. They sell harnesses for just about any car allowing you to plug in your stereo directly to the existing harness. I guarantee they will know!
