Hi Guys, I bought a 32 GB SD card and an PCMCIA adaptor for E350 2010 Sedan. The SD card is ok but the adaptor can't read 32 GB SD card. So my questions are:
1. Can E350 2010 Sedan handle 32 GB PCMCIA? Did you actually use one?
2. If yes, which adaptor is working, what is the price and where can I get one?
Thanks in advance.

You may want to check that the PCMCIA adapter you have is good for both SD and SDHC format. Mine appears to be good for SD only (2Gb and less)

Thanks, For 2 GB or less, there are plenty of adaptors for about $5-$6, the question is 32 GB cards, what is the working adaptor for the SD card with 32 GB capacity?

I've got a CF adapter too, no memory card size limitations there.
There are old threads on the W204 forum at least that cover all of the adapter options and have photos from different adapters too.

Hi and thanks for the info. I checked W204 and found some useful information. It seems 6 in 1 from Sandisk disappeared from the market and we cannot find it anymore. Also, I found 21 in 1 in States but they don't ship to Canada (it seems odd). Anyway, if anybody knows where to buy a Sandisk 6 in 1 (outside of US) will appreciate it. Thanks

This got me interested in putting some music in the onboard memory and saw this item on ebay:

and in red on the page was this:

I just walked to a local shop and purchased the Sandisk adapter that does support SD HC cards. These may not be produced by Sandisk any more but that does not mean that shops could not have one.
There are others that do fine, I would not buy a version that does not support SD HC cards.

Just wanted to tell everybody that I bought the following items from ebay and both are working. I already put more than 16GB music on the SDHC card and it is playing very well:
1. Sandisk 32GB SDHC
2. MCAB PCMCIA 20 in 1 PC card Reader 16bit.

just don't get PMCIA adapter from MB dealership, those are junk and can't handle SDHC cards. I got adapter from ebay for 20 bux and 20 dollar 16 gig SD card...works like a dream.

The difference is easy to identify from Sandisk adapters (even if their part number is the same for the two versions), I wonder if the MB adapter has any visible difference (print, part number etc.).
It is no surprise that an MB shop would have outdated parts. I don't understand why someone would pay more for an adapter like this when the MB part anyway is just MB branded, not build by MB or even specifically for MB.

The 32GB SDHC made by Sandisk for about $60 and 21 in 1 adaptor for about $7. Now I have more than 17 GB music and working nicely in my E350.
