I was wondering if anybody uses the SD Cards to play Mp3s in their RS4 or S4. i've tried a 2gb card and it appears that the RS4 will not read the entire contents ont he card. Has anybody tried a 2gb card or greater in the RS4 with success? if so, which brand are you using.

Also, it appears the RS4 doesn't have the IPOD package ? Did i just get screwed or is there an auxilary port somewhere besides the glove compartment?

Thanks in advance,

S.

 

havent tried card, what do the cards go in originally? i have ipod adapytor in rs4 it rocks, only plays first 99 songs on first 6 playlist though

 

Where is the ipod adapter plased?

 

yes, it was already installed when i pickd up car, its in the glove box, just plug i pod in close bx never have to touc h it , runs through mm centre, and charges it to , however it only plays the first 6 playlist and first 99 songs of each, but the sound on those bose speakers is unfknbvlbe, never have to burn a disk again woohoo

 

I have a 2Gb card, and it works fine...I didn't know there was an iPod adapter in the RS4.

 

There is a limit to the number of songs you can have in the root directory.

How to info on SD Cards



Not sure what you mean by "What do they go in originally?" There are two slots for them behind the display. prior to that you would need to copy mp3's onto them from your computer. The cards are pretty cheap(some even come with a reader if you need one). 2GB SD w/reader for $20 or get one with USB built in

 

USB to OEM Adaptor
Wereceived completely new aftermarket USB to OEM radio interface Audi. The USB interface plugs directly into the back of you existing car stereo and allows you to connect any portable audio device e.g. USB disk, IPOD, Minidisk, CD player, MP3 player etc... It has SD to USB adaptor convertor in the kit.

To change tracks using the seek buttons on the stereo or steering wheels controls. In addition it has Aux-in plug.

Let me know if you interested in additional information.

 

I am using a 1Gb card and it works great. I dropped MP#'s and iTunes onto it and the stereo reads both of them without any problems. The screen displays all of the song titles. A 1 GB card will easily hold 200+ songs. With 2 slots, I see no reason to ever have an iPod connection. You don't need a fast SD card like a 133x- 150x. The slow ones are so cheap, I can get them for $5.00 after rebate online.

 

I all, I know I am late to the post, but I figure I will share this with everyone. I bought a 2GB flash and pluged it into the mm center, and it only saw 196MB. I also could not read the card in a 2yr old dell laptop.

An email to Audi of America, they called me back and told me the unit is only guarantee to 1GB. I returned the 2GB and got the 1GB, and it's rocking.

 

Your 2GB SD cards are working fine and at full capacity. The display only shows 3 digits. I use 4GB x150 cards, and the display shows something like 396 which is really just under 4gb formatted capacity. I think there is a limit of songs though - something like 512 per directory. So I use the 4GB SD cards which leaves room forburning super-high quality MP3s - typlically 256 or 192 kbps.
