Default S D card for P D R?

X2

My new 2017 3LT's SD card, is no where to be found on the vehicle, or it's paperwork envelope packet.

Could the SD card be in the Owners Manual satchel?

Is BEST BUY, a good place to buy 1 or 2 cards?

It's actually called an SD-Card. Most any card will do.

Unfortunately an SD-Card does not come with the C7. Nowadays you can get a card pretty much anywhere, gas station, wal-mart, Walgreens, etc.

You want an SD Card specifically made for video recording, the PDR is just a dash cam installed by GM..

This is what I bought for my dash cam, I record at least an hour of 1080P data everyday and have had no issues..

Amazon Amazon

here is some good info for SD Card's and Dash Cam's..

Get a Class 10 (high speed) SD card and format it to Fat32. That should get you going.

P.S. There is also a micro SD which is physically much smaller than a standard SD card. Get the bigger one

You should also be able to buy a micro-SD and put it in an adaptor which converts it to the SD size.

Go to Staples and buy one. I have a 64G but had to format it to FAT32. Download a program called HPUSBdisk. To format a disk you must run the program in "administrator" mode. It is free. I think a 32G may already be formatted to FAT32. My 64G gives me about 15 hours of recording time.
