"Unreadable Files" on memory card???

Slid the PCMCIA card and SDHC card into the dash and it says unreadable files on memory card on the display. What does that mean? What format do the songs have to be in? MP3 right? COuld it be because I have them broken up into separate folders?

The only format you can use is mp3, it doesn’t matter how many folders you have it should be able to show all the folders and read the mp3 files. If not then check the SD on your computer and make sure the card is functioning if it does then just format the SD card and then put the files back on it.

2 is the limit for non SDHC, that would be my guees. Try a smaller card, 1 gig cards can be had for a couple of dollars.

But your "PCMCIA" is SD HC capable, the comment was about adapters that do not support SD HC.

Also does command need to read files saved in FAT32 or NTFS? I know NTFS works because thats what I use but
Im also only use 2 gig cards.

Okay are you guys ready for the detailed and technical solution I found for the problem?

So after I converted all the songs and re-saved them onto the card that didn't work. So after hours of searching online for a solution i went outside and tried it again...no luck. So I took out the card and blew into the end of the PCMCIA card that connects to the dash...and VOILA! It worked hahaha

I guess a good old blow beats all the new tech hanky panky.

Do you happen to know if an ipod is supposed to intergrate directly with the system. Meaning you could control the ipod through the multi media system and change songs, etc? Or can you upload from the ipod to the cars hard drive??

It is at best a mediocre interface for the I-pod. It is not controlled thru the command interface but thru the dash display. Most likely so one solution would work with all OEM stereos. I have it but don't use it the indash reader in the MM system is better. I have not really used the HD yet.
