SD card help
Hello fellow Forum Members...
I performed a search, which was of no help, and read the infotainment manual pretty thoroughly. I can't get the car to recognize the SD card I am putting into the designated slot. I press the "media" button repeatedly, but all it sees is the geek stick I have in one of the USB ports. What am I missing?
Thanks a lot

How's the content on the card organized? Are you using a recognized format for your music?
Etc etc?

What brand SD card are you using, I think it was KH who said the SanDisk doesn't work too well with C7.

You might need to rip the files into a different format. 
Not in the C7 yet but my SD in my radio uses WMA format.

Also agree with the San Disc comments. SanDisk puts proprietary security formatting on many of their disks and thumb drives. They must be reformatted with either FAT32 or NTFS format.

Guys, I got my SD card to work for my music but can't figure out how to change playlists and I was told I could have my pics on an SD card and it would play a pic slideshow as I listened to the radio but I can't even find the file with the pics in it. Anyone know how to work that thing?
