PCMCIA Cards...

Wanting to use the PCMCIA card setup, one thing that I can't really find is which cards sit flush and which ones protrude. I really do not like things protruding. I must have read a dozen PCMCIA threads and can not find info on this. Thanks in advance!

My card is pretty much flush. I bought the adapter online, it's an official MB one. Memory card goes in it and it all goes in the slot and sits proper flush.

Where did you get it? Does it use compact flash or SD cards? If SD can in use SDHC? Whats the highest capacity card that you where able to fit in it?

I am going to order one later today. Thanks!

Refer to my post #21 in this thread.
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-your-car.html

It shows you the adapter I bought that goes into the car. In terms of the card, I ordered a trans flash card and so far I have a 16gig in there which works fine without any problems. Ordered a memory card reader to easily transfer music by dragging and dropping to the card from the computer.

Good luck.

What format do you format the CF in? FAT32? NTFS? Etc? Thanks, and then to put the music does it have to be in a specific file structure or just dump and play. Thanks in advance!

I didn't format the card. Left it in whatever format it was originally in. Not sure what it is, will check next time I connect it to the computer. And yes pretty much just dump and play.
