I have a Sandisk PCMCIA multicard that works just fine. Unfortunatly it is not SDHC so I am limited to 2 gigs. No big deal that is still a ton of music in MP3 format and I can get 2 gig cards for around 5.00 USD each. I had the card sitting in my desk drawer I don't even remember where I got it from.

We would not be having this discussion if MB had just mad it a USB input and hid it in the console. Jump drives would be so much easier and cleaner.

I just picked up some CF 8GB cards for FAR, will the headunit take that much in a CF card?
How much storage is in the headunit to begin with?

Someone was talking about some sort of USB plug adapter that goes in the glove box that wasn't expensive and somehow it showed something on the actual COMAND screen. Anyone know what that is?

This must be the MI (Media Interface, not UMI) kit, I believe it comes with option code 518 from the factory.

The limits are not on gigabytes but the number of titles totally (4000 on a W221, I'm not sure if it is the same for W204, should read in the Comand/MM manual). The maximum number of folders and the maximum number of nested folders is limited too (was it 255/8), no problem if content is properly stored on the card.

A few hundred I have never filled one up. I only use a single folder as each card is themed. At 5.00 USD each when I buy bulk I have a few dozen lying around (I also have three cameras that use SD). So I have one with every Beatles song on it (Wife is a big fan) while for me I have a Prog rock card and my daughter has an indie/alternate card we also have one for Christmas so on and so forth.

I mean the MI option that does allow USB devices at the glove box is fine but myself I prefer the PCMCIA slot that I can reach while driving and where the memory card is still neatly hidden. Quite a few owners would prefer the USB with a big hard drive but they should understand that it is not ideal for all.

I assume you would then prefer the PCMCIA interface slot as it is on the current Comand (MM) instead of a USB plug somewhere in the glove box?

It seems like a good deal, plus I'm close to NY, so it shouldn't take long for delivery.
