Default SD card slot in Audio

Can anyone confirm that the slot works with SDHC cards and not just SD?

I've used it with SD cards and lastnight, I tried a higher capacity SDHC card and got a "read error".

I'm going to try again by formatting and putting a few songs in but has anyone successfully used a SDHC card in the media slot?

Default SDHC <> SD

Same shape and size but different format. An SD reader cannot read an SDHC card. It just happens to fit.

Seems like Audi shouldve thought of that before putting an SD slot into a 2009 vehicle when sd cards are getting scarce. I was thinking of stockpiling a few. they're pricy enough now.

Can someone please teach this old buzzard what one does with the card slot? I know SD cards are in my digital camera but I'm guessing we don't make the backseat passengers view our family vacation slideshow on the dashboard.

Default in the RNS-E only SD cards will work, not SDHC. as far as I know it only works

with 2gb and 4gb sticks as well.

check www.buy.com

they always have them for under 15 or so.

You put MP3s on the SD card instead of pictures and listen to music through the media button

Default try newegg.com (i hate buy.com), they always have 2gb SD cards for less than $10

here's a 4GB for less than 7 bucks... has 4 out of 5 rating (out of 118 reviews). &lt;3 newegg!<ul><li><a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208086">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208086</a</li></ul>

You can rip your CDs to MP3 format and put them on an SD card
