I picked up my Avus Silver S-Line A5 this weekend and immediately went out and bought an SD memory card to load up some MP3's. I bought a Sandisk 4G SDHC and converted some of my iTunes tracks to MP3 and loaded them on the card. When I insert the card in the stereo I get a message that says "external source active", however when I select SD from the media menu it says the card is unreadable?

I can play the MP3 tracks from the card on my computer - any idea what I am doing wrong??

As far as I know, the Audi's only read SD cards. Even in laptops/computers/cameras, SDHC requires an SDHC drive slot. I recommend getting a 2 or 4 gig SD card (Sandisk or Lexar).

Also, search the other forums, size/type has been discussed as well previously.

Thanks, I specifically asked the guy at Best Buy (I know, I know, most of them can't tie their shoe laces) - but he told me that a 4G SD card HAD to be SDHC (high capacity). I'll take it back and get a normal SD card and see if that does the trick.

There are regular 4GB SD (non-HC) cards available, but they're getting a little harder to find...

so I bought two 2GB SD cards - all is working great - thanks!

never trust the Best Buy employees. Not even the geek squad people.

I was frustrated at first but then went to see a tech. and he did some research and showed it to me in the write up, 2GB card and MP3 files only...

SDHC 2GB cards should in theory be readable in SD reader. Anything above cannot (HC=high capacity).

Shame though that there are still SD readers out there not being able to read the industry standard SDHC. It's out for 2 years now.

SDHC not supported...
