SD Card for RCD510 Query..
« on: 20 January 2010, 13:55 »
Just after a bit of help regarding the SD card for my RCD510. Sorry for the basic qustions but i'm not much of a technology kind of guy!

1.Do you just download songs onto the SD card from itunes?
2. How do the songs appear on the screen of the radio? Do they come up as separate albums etc, just like an ipod?
3. How much memory would I need on the SD card?

Thanks

PS - lovin my new golf gti, met black pearl effect with 18" monza's.  Black cars are a nighmare to keep clean in this weather though  :angry:

Download the songs from your computer onto the sd card in mp3 format,you can BACK UP your own cd collection onto your computer then copy them onto the sd card.I have a 2Gb sd card and have over 30 albums on it.

Stuff bought from iTunes won't work as it won't be in MP3 format.

May be better to look at USB or iPod if you have the MDI in the armrest (see below)...loads of reference stuff via the Forum Search...

Before you read below; I haven't got my GTi yet, so have not got much detailed knowledge of the RCD510 except what I picked up on test drives at the dealer last August [Hard to remember that far back]
But, why don't you just plug your ipod into the USB connector in the armrest instead of using an SD card? You could probably have your entire collection on there.

Guys, thanks for all your replies.

Each to their own but if you have up-graded the stereo and speakers I personally would not use compressed music. Your best to use Cd or a mp3 with uncompressed music like on an iPod. The difference is quite significant especially with quality speakers like Dynaudio.
