SD card reads empty...
I searched the archive and haven't found any info that helps.
I have a new 4 GB SD card with only 2 GB of MP3's. Even after I reformatted the card and filled it up again with 2 GB of MP3's the unit still states the card is empty. There aren't 5,000 files on the card and it works perfect in various computers and card readers.
In the past I have always received an error message when something wasn't right, never an empty card reading.
Any ideas?

Re: SD card reads empty...
I have read that 4GB cards do not work in our systems. Based on that input, I purchased a 2GB card and it works very well.
Also, you may need to change your ID3 tags. Usually when I load my SD card, about 25% - 50% of the songs show up in the Audi. I then change all of the ID3 tags and everything shows up.
NavPlus is a great site for audio/video advice.<ul><li><a href="http://www.navplus.us/">http://www.navplus.us/</a</li></ul>

Re: Dumb question, but are you sure they are .mp3 and not another format?
They are mp3 format; I had two 2 GB cards that worked perfect until one became corrupt beyond repair. The wife took claim of the other one for her camera, so I picked up two new 4GB cards.

Re: SD card reads empty...
I'll try that site. I may have to give the wife a 4GB card to get my old 2GB card back. The other card I had is shot. In the past I did a search and saw where some people were having luck with the 4 GB card, so I figured I would try it.
The same folders/files work on a 2 GB card, so that may be it.

4GB card could be SDHC...
...and I don't think they're backwards compatible with many SD card readers.
I was going to pick up a couple 2gb cards, because isn't there a reasonably small file (song) limit anyway?

You should also know that each SD card has a 512 item limit
This includes folder, playlists, songs, etc. I have never had more than 512 on my card, but I believe this is the behavior if your card has more than 512 items.
