Benz OE PCMCIA adapter SDHC compatible?

Just got the OE PCMCIA card adapter and am about to purchase some memory cards of ebay.
But is that adapter SDHC compliant?

MB only sell a OE 2gb SD card wich is the non HC max limit, maybe this is an indication that the adapter isnt HC compatible?

Has anyone tried a SDHC card with the OE Benz adapter?

i didnt even know they sold OEM card adapters. can you find out who manufactures the adapter? maybe there is a model number somewhere you can look up. i got my adapter for sandisk and it works fine with HC, best part, it was only $15 at best buy a while back!

Someone recently reported the MB adapter supporting HC cards. Wasn't the adapter not available for some time? I'm guessing they recently changed from a standard to a HC capable adapter. One should be careful when buying one in any case.

Also older Sandisk adapters do not support HC cards. The current adapter should come with the same product number but has HC support like seen above.

I tested one and it supported all my SDHC cards Too bad that the 2 I bought didn't work. So I had it credited and I'm getting an iPod retrofit instead.

Thanks for the confirmation. I just had to order one from my local parts department since it's impossible to find an adapter anywhere in the area.
All the major computer stores look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for it.
I'll rather pay a bit more and be certain the adapter works in my car.

iPod was a bit too expensive. So had a third adapter and works like a charm! Really happy with it + NO ITUNES!!

I recommend Ultra Sandisk PCMCIA to CF card adapter + CF card.They are working very well and are quiet cheap.
