rcd510 and sd card

[AlanH]

Just clarify, I believe the 510 will take SD/MMC cards up to 2GB, and SDHC cards up to 32GB.

Is that true Alan, I stand corrected if thats the case, I thought it was 32gig for all formats.

I just downloaded a .pdf of the 510 manual to check. I spent most of yesterday wading through all the manuals in the handbook - really hard work. I need to get out more and do some driving

Matchy, how did you get on ?

Well if its a standard SD mate, it may not work if its higher than 2gig in size after what Alan has said.

Just to try anyway, yeah format it in your laptop, I assume your laptop has memory card reader slots in it ? If not, you have a usb memory card reader you can plug up to it ? I hope so, else your goosed.

To format, just right click on the drive letter windows assigns to it then format it. Just do a quick format.

yup, it has a card reader slot - i'll give it a go later - cheers!

so kev i had one of those 16mb sd cards that you get free with a camera knocking about - thought i'd try that as its tiny, has no pics etc on it and also will nulify the whole limit of the card issue - formatted the card on my laptop then stuck just one song on the card - stuck it in the car and it came up......'sd card error'.  (unt.  now i'm getting worried its the unit that's faulty and its got nothing to do with the cards.  any further ideas?

Ohh, interesting. I wonder I wonder.

Erm, ok, I can only think of one other option.

Does the 510 have an option to format the card once its inserted ? i.e. Like in the menu somewhere where you can format it ? It 'may' be that the 510 requires to do the formatting before you then put your mp3's on it, but I very much doubt it.
