Thanks for the reply wow that sucks. Don't get it why they would limit the card reader size.
Does it really matter if you can read 8gb or 16 gb unless there some rule from other electronic manufacturer's limiting Mercedes. I simple software upgrade will fix it but i guess that is to easy..

I've found that it isn't the card size but the format SD vs SDHC. SDHC cards don't work for some weird reason. I use a 2GB SD Card, and it works fine, just copy as many songs on it, then get another one for the rest of your songs.

Note, I think while 4GB was technically possible in the standard I don't think anyone ever made 4GB regular SD cards. All of those are SDHC as far as I know, so you're stuck with 2GB.
edit: actually Transcend did make a standard SD 4GB card that wasn't SDHC, part # TS4GSDC. There might be others if you google around.

They didn't choose to limit it, it was a limitation of the technology at the time. The SD card standard could not address anything larger than 4GB of memory space so they came up with SDHC to extend that to 32GB (or as much as 2TB if you don't strictly follow the SDHC guidelines). The problem is devices designed before the SDHC standard do not know how to address the new SDHC cards. Newer devices are backwards compatible (SDHC device can read a SD card) but not the other way around.
