Sounds like the OP's HU still isn't working even without the iphone connected. It might've bricked the unit somehow
The headunit is only designed to read Fat32 formatted disks, if it's not Fat32 then it has issues. Also if the head unit can see multiple folders in the base directory of the USB stick it will try to mount all of them as individual hard disks instead of just mounting the USB stick as a single disk, it mounts the base folders as disks. It's just poorly designed...

If the OP's unit is still completely broken after removing the USB stick it may have corrupted itself trying to mount too many disks.
@soon... may have a similar problem if the head unit can see multiple folders in the base directory. OP may have just got a bad luck of the draw and corrupted his HU on mount.

The best way to get a USB stick to work with this HU is to make sure it's formatted as Fat32 (not exFat) and then make sure there is a single base directory on the USB stick and then put all the other folders in that ONE base directory. I currently have a 64gb USB Stick formatted this way.
