I have the 32g SDHC card, and the benz brand of PCMCIA card

I am having the same issue, but I figure out what was wrong.
After I read the user manual closely, I figure out in order to make it work.
You need to format the 32g SDHC in FAT32 format using 16 allocation space.
NTSC doesn't work. Hope that help the user that having the same issue.

My 08C350 (with PCMCIA adapter) will not read any SD larger than 2GB. There is nothing wrong with your car, but it only read 2GB SD card. Believe me, I try 4,6,8 GB but only work with 2GB. The later model (2012 > up) do not need the adapter & can read larger than 2GB.

I don't think it's the song format because they all used to play at one point.

Time to drop it off for a service appointment?
I had some success but mostly media system is possessed! I tried .mp3 files on Sd2gB ..worked.. 8gB worked in some othermfiles skipped.. I even got a 16gB Sd card to,read and a 32gB micro card in my PCMCIA adapter but it’s a total crap shoot which files are recognized... I made a folder on a card, moved over songs into folder 10songs show in folder on computer screen but in car they list is doubled with first group unplayable.. possessed! I can’t come up with a rule.. i’ve copied files directly from hard disk, tmoved some from iTunes.. .. nothing is foolproof repeatable success ... I now have Micro32gB card with 70% playable files .. no clue why some are and some are not! I tried songs in folders on the card and songs as individual files.. still no repeatable success .. I’m amazed I got some to work ... Mercedes. Akes greT csrs but should buy their infotainment systems from Japan—- MB 2010GLK350
