PCMCIA
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 Sandisk 6-in-1 PCMCIA adapter, there are two variants, the one that has SD HC printed on it supports SD HC cards obviously.

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:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Multi-in-1-PCMCI...d#ht_748wt_911

and in red on the page was this:

Supported Media:
Secure Digital (SD) (DO NOT SUPPORT SDHC OR OVER 2GB, same as Sandisk 6in1 PCMCIA adapter)

Are you trying to prove that none of the Sandisk adapters support SD HC cards? Using an eBay seller who is selling a product that does not do SD HC isn't the best proof in my opinion.

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.

That is funny considering the one I got from my dealer handles SDHC cards just fine.

I think Vic Viper confirmed that the MB adapters do support SD HC cards. But I also think someone else reported a long time ago that they don't do SD HC cards. I'm pretty sure these adapters have the same issue as any other brand, initially a non SD HC capable version was released and later on another one with SD HC support.

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.
