I have a 2Gig PNY optima sd card that I formatted for FAT32. The card allows me to copying pics to it. However, when I put it in the sd slot in the glove box the PDR in the car is not recognizing it. I have formatted the card several times thinking it did not take. Has anyone had problems with it not recognizing their SD card ???? Is there a special SD card that needs to be purchased??

I don't think the PDR will recognize the slot in the box between the seats. Try the slot in the box in front of the pax seat, on the left hand side of the box...

I've read here that 8gb is the minimum size card.

This could be the problem. You wouldn't want to use something as limited as a 2gb card anyway. 32/64 is ideal.

I temporarily have a 4gb Mini in an SD adapter installed now and it works fine. Just received a 32gb SD that I'll be using from now on.

Still, get yourself a larger card for longer video retention. $10 will get you 16gb.
