SD Cards

[nickhx]

Yeah, been thinking about it and unsure if I should just keep looking. I do like the fact that the controls are around the gear knob, it looks classier to me.

I think the lack of SD card slots might be a deal breaker. 6 cd changer is so yesterday IMHO! Car is too far away to check physically.

Also, not sure if being an MMI 2G or 3G makes any difference to card slots. Wanna know what I can ask the seller.

Would recommend going with SD cards over the Sat Nav system, however, if Audi Sat Nav is a must, you could get a B8 with the AMI ipod system fitted and use that instead?

Thanks nick.

Other than by physically seeing the car, is there any other way of finding out if it's got AMI? I have the reg number.

I was expecting the SD slots with my MMI sat nav. The Audi brochure did give me the impression that they were included but on delivery found not so. Dealer later told me that if 2G MMI high is fitted then no SD card on any model. I don't think that has changed with the 3G MMI.

AMI though is superb and gives good options and compliments the sat nav very well.

Can't work how I managed to get the 2 SD card slots then though have to admit was led to believe I was getting a cd changer (not complaining love the SD cards). I have the HDD sat nav (no DVD) so maybe that's the reason? Will speak to my audi dealer about this.

Thanks for the tip when I buy my next one won't buy until I know for sure that they are included.

Hi All,

I know this has been done to death. Firstly Picked up My New A4 S line in Ibis White in December. What a beast but its no less than beautiful!

Coming from a 2000 A3- then to a 2004 (54 plate B6/7?) A4 Sport tdi 130 -then to an '09' A3 Sportback..now a 60 A4 Sline B8...beautiful experience all the way through.

I bought an SDHC 4GB and transferred some songs from iTunes directly to it, but some songs worked on my car and others didnt. the confusing issue is that they are all in m4a format...do i still need to convert them or do i need a 'non-budget' card?

Any ideas

Thanks all..Safe driving..

The first thing to try- copy a good file and a "bad" file to another card see if you get the same problem.

Secondly - from iTunes, select each file in turn - right click on the file and select "Get Info", under the summary tab compare both files, bit rate, iTunes version etc. See if there are any obvious differences. (This obviously is only going to help if there are differences in the encoding)

I have a 2008 B8 and it only supports SD, not SDHC, however I got my hands on a 4GB SD card from this lot: http://www.offtek.co.uk
It generally works fine, although it is occassionally unreadable when you first start the engine and needs to be popped in and out to reset it.

I've plumped for AMI on my awaited A4, as 4GB aint enough to carry my whole Daniel O'Donnell catalogue.....

I am not sure if this has been covered...there is much good (and free software) that can convert iTunes format to mp3 to make it compatible from the SD card. I personally use Free M4a to MP3 Converter...google it! It works!
