PapaLarge923 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I am having trouble with my SD card slot. I have 3 SD cards full of music and only one of them works. How can I get the others to work on this? Do I have to format the card maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaLarge923 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 The 3 sd cards are a 32 gig, 64 gig, and a 500 gig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Solstice Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 This is based on what I have found in my 2016 RT with the 8.4 system. The SD card slot will only work up to 32GB and must be formatted in FAT32. NTFS will not work. The card also needs to be a SDHC card. The 64GB SDXC card that I have will not read in the slot. I don't think, but am not sure, that a 64GB SDHC card, if you could find one, will work either. A better idea that others have done and I am doing myself - use a USB flash drive. The 32GB limitation does not apply to the USB port. I picked up a 128GB USB, on sale, for 20 bucks. I currently have 60GB of Mp3 format songs on it. It is formatted for FAT32 and it is working just fine. The only thing that I have not figured out yet is getting the artwork to show on all of the selections. This is a problem for a different day but it is not stopping me from enjoying the music. There have been some who have posted that they are using 500 USB Passports the same way. Something like that can be had for $50-60, on sale, but I have no need for that kind of space and I am concerned about the extreme temperatures in the wintertime here.

bramfrank Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 The system does not look at your artwork - there is a non-updateable database in the uConnect radio that is used as the source of artwork for music - it is, however out of date and quite picky about the ID tags.

Summer Solstice Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Thank-you for the input bramfrank. I had somewhat that impression from reading other blogs but was unsure whether the problem was the onboard memory or not. Not really an issue as the music sounds good and the system is set up nicely. Thumbs-up to the designers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
