Title: SD card slot in small stowage compartment?
Post by: AlanH on 27 December 2013, 20:15

Has anyone else noticed the SD card slot in the drop down door of the driver-side small stowage compartment. Noticed it first yesterday, and the manual refers to a coin holder. Mine has an SD logo above the slot, so I'm assuming that it's for storing a spare card only.

not sure where you are talking about? - not talking about the main glove box storage?

No, the small compartment on the extreme right side of the dashboard - about level with the driver's right knee. Page 160 in the Driver's Manual.

I don't have the sat nav option. Just seems a strange place to have an SD card slot, rather than in the glove box.

Here's a quick picture - apologies for the quality.(http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac329/alanhhudson/IMG_2379_zps8690407c.jpg) (http://s912.photobucket.com/user/alanhhudson/media/IMG_2379_zps8690407c.jpg.html)

It looks like a place to store a spare SD card?

That's what I thought, and was just wondering if it's standard. I haven't seen anyone else mention it.

I have this on mine too. Doesn't look like it's wired into anything and there are no contacts inside. Like you say, probably just a slot for a spare card.

So not for nuclear launch codes. Shame.

I have this and think it's just a storage compartment for an SD card. I've got the basic Nav.

I can confirm that the SD slot is not wired to anything as I've had my stowage compartment drawer out.
