Problem with SD card for PDR
What am I missing here? I'm a new owner (6 mos) and my car (2015 Z51 A8) will not recognize my SD card. This would be my first attempt to use the PDR. Here's the card I'm using, and it has some music files on it, but over 20 Gigs of free space. Thanks for any help.

I would recommend you format the card. Most likely, the current format, especially with a partially-full partition, is not being recognized correctly.

Thanks. I'm currently using this card as the audio source for my Mercedes, and I thought I could use it temporarily to check out the PDR function. I'll just get a new card for dedicated PDR use in the 'vette, and I'll make sure of the formatting before using it.

Definitely recommended - Best Buy usually has some good deals on SD cards when you catch a sale. Think I grabbed a 64GB Samsung Pro (90MB/s R/W) for about $40 for my last shoot, and that's stupid overkill for speed.
Usually, you can grab a good Samsung Evo for around $25 on sale.

Ron, thank you sir. I had read the instructions about the card slot being located in the glove box, but just couldn't find the sucker. I was only looking IN the glove box, not next to it behind the door panel, and so I assumed maybe they meant the slot in the lift top. Took some contortions and a flashlight, but I got it now. In any event, the case is solved. Thanks again.
