The pendrive is probably formatted in NTFS format, Car stereo systems recognize only FAT32 formats..
Check it out.

Try connecting other pendrives to your car stereo system and also check by connecting your pendrive in other car stereo players and see if they work.

hmm, try formatting in FAT and see.

FAT32 with a smaller cluster size may also work.
