I am using 2Gb SD cards, and when loaded, the cards only read a portion of the files. I read the owner's manual, and it appears that the SD card reader in the RS4 has a maximum number of files (songs) it will read??? Anyone else with this issue, or suggestions for work around other than using smaller memory cards. 2 Gb cards are down in price to under $60, and soon larger cards will be very inexpensive. Seems goofy that we should be limited in memory of the radio head unit. Thanks, Gary

Plus make sure your songs do not have filenames longer than 64 characters. Any songs with longer than 64 character filenames will not appear. I had to rename quite a few of my files.

The song limit is in the manual - 400 I believe? My MP3s are all encoded with Preset: Standard and I don't come near to the song limit on a 2GB card.

I'm not sure if that increases the song limit or not.

400 songs per card is the limit, regardless of card size.

Are the SD cards used for anything else on this car other than for MP3 playing?

nashRS4

Nope

PetrolDave

Not exactly - 512 songs PLUS folders (directories) is the limit

If you get into Engineering Mode it's possible to put the RNS-E into a "Screen Shot" mode to save pictures from the screen onto the SD card.

Why r ppl using SD cards.. why not just use your iPod ??

If all you want is music in your car, several SD cards are cheaper than an iPod too.
