The car does not come with an SD card from GM. I understand the Museum has provided a small SD card as part of the delivery. I have no idea if they are still doing it. Maybe someone with a recent delivery will chime in. If not you can contact the museum for the current policy.
Personally, I would grab a larger one from Amazon and take it with me. Remember, anything larger than 32 Gb will require a third party application to format it to FAT32 under Windows.

Just another note: A 512GB card also *does* work with the PDR system...
However, the PDR will only record in up to 99 minute blocks. So, if you want to record a drive longer than 99 minutes (like, say, the Twisted Sisters scenic drive in central Texas), you will need to stop and restart the PDR before the 99 minutes is up.

Just in case you're curious, the 256G card gives me about 6000+ minutes (100 hours, I guess) of recording, which is plenty. So I presume the 512G would be 200 hours.
I still wish you could set it to come on every vehicle start (like in Valet mode).

Just a point of curiosity, but why would anyone need to record 4 days worth of video? It would be like in the old sitcoms where someone is showing a dinner guest hours worth of slides from their summer vacation.
The files are mp4, so I can remove the card and transfer the files to a PC. I have an old 8gb microSD that will give me 188 minutes of recording time. I can't envision needing to record DAYS worth of driving. Am I missing something?

I wouldn't want to have to swap out and clean the card every 3 hours....

There are probably some freeware progs that would work fine for this purpose, but if so I'm not familiar with them.
