Does anyone know if the new c-coupe has an sd slot?

Hi,

I use SDHC cards for music in my other car and planned to do the same in the c-class, but now I have no idea if it actually has an sd slot!

Can anyone who has the car already please confirm? also, does it take SDHC cards?

thanks!

I am pretty sure I saw an SD slot on the left of the volume control on the head unit.

mine has one, though i haven't tried it. Nor do I have an SD/SDHC card handy.

What I did notice though is that the navigation won't let you save your own personal POI without an SD card, despite the system having a 10gb storage space for music. Which I have also yet to figure out how to use. @.@

My C350 Coupe with the NAV and 10gb drive has an SD slot in the radio face. Works fine ad an alternativ disc drive.

You can also play straight off the USB stick. That's what I'm doing right now.

I couldn't handle a usb stick sticking out of my dash it'd drive me bonkers

That's why my original plan was an sd card... but HDD would be best!

Thanks again for the quick answers everyone so excited!!

Actually the USB connector is hidden in a central compartment (with lid), so it's not sticking out of the dash.

Ha, it is sad how little I know about the car... I bought it solely for its exterior appearance!

Lots of choices for music!

I have had my C350 Coupe with the Comand System, and Nav/Rear Camera for about 3 weeks. I am not sure if I have the full blown Multi Media option, but there is some kind of special where I got Nav, 10 GB HD, Bluetooth and rear camera for about $1900.

Regardless, I have been able to play music from -

Sirius Radio
HD Radio
SD Card in the dash in WMA format
USB port in the storage compartment
Via Bluetooth from a storage card on my BlackBerry
Ipad using the IPod adapter in the storage compartment

Oh, there is also a Weather Band Radio.

And I haven't tried it yet but I believe you can Rip music from CDs onto the 10 GB HD, but that is probably the only way to use it. I have not found a way to do it from SD, USB or IPOD. The manual only describing Ripping music.

A little overkill don't you think?

the internal hdd is quite useless. i dont know why even have it in the first place!? the only way to put data on it is to rip CDs. Does anyone even use CDs nowadays?

I hope there is some sort of a hack in the future to put mp3s on hdd...

My C350 came with the "Comand Launch" package S34?

It has the SD slot.

By the way, what is the difference between Comand Launch S32 and S34 and Multimedia?

Anyone?

I have the Comand Launch package plus the rearview monitor as well and from what I can tell, the only difference is that we don't have the six disc in-dash CD/DVD changer. I have Logic-7 and everything else that the Multimedia package has, without having to pay the hefty price.

This is why it is confusing. Mine HAS the changer as well. Maybe that is the difference between the S32 and the S34 and Multimedia included the rear camera. I also have the camera and Logic 7

I'm going from memory on this, so if I can remember more I'll update. I've got the 2012 C250 and it has the following:

1. 6 disc changer; will play CDs and DVDs (when in Park, but this can be modded with a physical interrupt).

2. HD Sirius Radio

3. SD Card: so far I've got a 16GB working. SDHC will work also (I believe but haven't verified).

4. USB Stick: so far I've got a 32GB working. This is in the center console.

5. Aux: haven't tried it yet. This is also in the center console.

6. Bluethooth Audio: works with both my WP7 phone and my Android 2.3.4 tablet. I think you just need the AD2P stack on the target device to get audio... but whatever the WP7 device has it allows the car complete access to the library and controls, instead of just Play/Pause/Rewind/Forward.

7. Navigation

8. Rear View Camera

9. Voice Command... though it's not intuitive. I've had my car since 10/7/2011 and I just now figured out how to find people using voice only without having a prior voice tag on that contact. It could definitely use a few pointers from Microsoft or (gag) SchmApple.

I don't think mine came with the iPod/iPhone direct option... but I haven't looked for that because I don't have one. ;-)

HTH!
