Default PDR Data Recorder

Hi
Keep in mind that l only had this C7 for a couple of weeks and even though this is my 6th vette it’s more high tech then my previous
ones.
Today l found the PDR and popped out the SD card which l didn’t expect to be there. And the Sundisk was labeled 132
yet the manual noted insert a FAT32 formatted SD card , class 10 required, 8,16 or 32 GB recommended.

does this make any sense?

thanks

The previous owner may have partitioned it for the proper capacity? Do you have a card reader on a PC you can plug it into? It might reveal your answer. If one partition is 32GB/FAT32 it should work fine.

The label and the format are not related. FAT32 is a Windows format for hard drives. I don't know what "132" means on the card, but the size should say #GB or ##GB.

Typically only cards through 32gb are formatted in FAT32. I'm using a 128gb card that I reformatted to FAT32. I needed to download a program to do that since the native Windows will not. It was super easy.

If 10+ hours recording is enough for you (I have extra cards in the glove box) buy a 32 gb card that is Class 10, U1 or better. You might as well get a card rated at 100MB/s read since there is no additional cost.

Get a brand name - your data is valuable - Sandisk, Lexar, Sony, PNY. There a lots of choices available for less than $10 on Amazon.

If I was buying today, I would buy this 3 pack:

SanDisk 32 gb 120 mb/s SanDisk 32 gb 120 mb/s
