I believe as big as you can find. There must be a limit on the PCMCIA interface but it probably is far beyond the memory card capabilities. So far I've seen members using 32 GB cards.

You don't have to go out to read the manual, you can browse the Euro manual on-line too.

Oh okay...thanks alot guys. About how many songs can you fit on a 32gb card? Also can you the car detect and navigate thru different subfolders on the card (different folder for diff genre of music for example) or do they all just get loaded onto one big file?

I don't know if that PCMCIA is right for high storage cards. I would try to find an SD PCMCIA instead of CF as SD cards are alot cheaper.

You can only get 2 or 4gigs (can't remember which) out of an SD card and PCMCIA Adapter...

You need a SDHC card and SDHC PCMCIA Adapter that is compatible or a CF card and CF PCMCIA Adapter.

If those two pieces are compatible, then yes those are what you need. I know that the Sandisk product is the adapter, just make sure the 32gb card will work (looks like it will, but reassurance from the seller would be nice). Unfortunately the C, CL, and S-classes still use this older technology.

Yea I didn't think they were gonna be that expensive...glad to hear there are less expensive options...

How many songs fit on a 32gb card? What about an 8 or 16gb?
