SD cards to use in Audi A4 DVD Sat Nav

[Dougster]

I have just checked and some of my 'back up' tracks are 192 and working fine.

Yes 192 bit rate should work fine mine work as well.

I got my 1GB SD card from ebay, came from Hong Kong in a couple of days, didnt even need to format it, just stuck my mp3s on it and it worked first time. One thing to note is that stick with ID3Tag V1 to tag on your tunes as the RNS-E unit picks this up fine.

I use Winamp to sort all the tags out on my files, it also has the ability to change ID3 tag versions to v1.

Ideally you only need one 4GB SD card, as mentioned before the limit is 512 items including songs and folders. Typically on a 4GB card if you rip at 192kbps you can get about 30+ albums each in their own folder. You can fit more if you lower the bit rate but that will compramise sound quality.

All I do is the following:

1. Create a folder for each album in the root directory of the SD card
\Album
2. Copy all mp3 tracks into corresponding album folders
3. Order them by track number
4. Stick it in the RNS-E
5. Select CD/TV
6. Select the card - All album folders are displayed
7. Select what album you want and enjoy.

For track names, whilst your track is playing select push setup and change preference to display track name.

Whilst a track is playing you can push the return button which takes you back to your root folder where all your albums are.

Nice. I just downloaded ID3tag. Now how do I use it? All I want to do is get rid of track numbers.

How high can the quality go as I have some Linn files that I might try.

Not sure on that program mate, I use Winamp. There will be a help file with the download look through that.

Thanks for the help!

My playback issues have now been resolved !

It was a combination of factors apparently:
- Bit rate higher than 192
- Wrong tags (mostly with converted Mpeg 4 files including eg cover pictures)

I use Xilisoft to convert files, works fine. The trial version only allows you to convert 2 files/session, but you can open several sessions simultaneously

Hi,
I've just ordered a new A4 SE spec. It doesn't have DVD but it comes with a Concert radio, 'SD memory card reader' and colour screen. I understand that it won't take cards bigger than 2GB but I would like to know is what it will display on the screen - will it show track title, artist genre etc?

[Roach]

I stand corrected they do say 196MB

It says 196 because the display only allows for 3 digits. The real figure will be between 1960MB and 1969MB

I assume they only programmed it to show 3 digits because it was only tested up to 256MB.

while we r on the subject of SD cards etc for the sat nav plus, does ne one know wot is involved to get the telly and DVD playback option working? I would love these extra toys!

Either an Audi TV unit or an Ebay video unit for about £100...
