SD card slot in small stowage compartment?
« 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.

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.
On order. CSG Mk7 GTI. BW 46 - Now arrived.
