Not had my VRS long but soon noticed it's quite awkward to plug a USB stick in and can see the USB/AUX area getting marked up quite easily, anyway, I plan to just fill an SD Card with mp3's and put it in the spare slot in the glove box, does anyone know if there are restrictions on size of card your able to use..? ie a 64gb SDHC card..? Had a look in the manual and the bit I looked at didn't specify.

 

Cheers

64Gb class 10 that will hold about 6,000+ MP3 tracks

Is that what you use mate..? wasn't sure if it recognised the SDHC Cards..?

Yeh that's what I use mate. Worked first time, but you do need to be sure to use the 'safely remove SD card' feature on the head-unit if you remove the card for any reason. The car writes to the Master File Table when you switch off, so it can resume at the same place when you start again. I've seen corrupted cards that needed PC Doctor recovery software to fix the MFT on the card.

Excellent, many thanks, this forum is brilliant...

I've been using a Sandisk 128GB micro SD card with adapter without a problem. I'll be soon trying the Sandisk 200GB and will post the results.

Hi,

 

I have a 2 day old 1.4 TSi SE L and have it working great with a 256 GB Class 10 SD card with a mixture of FLAC and M4A files.

 

The one I am using is http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019J3ECH0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great stuff John, have a fair bit in FLAC so that will save me some grief converting to MP3.

 

Cheers

Well got a 64gb card yesterday and dropped my mp3's and FLAC files on it and ...ERROR....wouldn't read the bloody thing..? Does the card need to be formatted in a certain manner..?

Edited 4 December, 20169 yr by esoxecosse

Well it's working now, I have formatted the card to FAT32 and it working fine, it may have been my fault before because I clicked the card in when the car was sitting ticking over..?

 

Cheers

If memory serves, it does indeed need to be FAT32

Mine is formatted as FAT64 aka exFAT which is supported by my unit as is NTFS.

My one was exFAT to start with and wouldn't work, maybe because I had put the card in when the car was ticking over..?
