[QUOTE="Richard, post: 393547, member: 3531"] Just changing cars for the first time in 16 years and I find that since my last purchase, in-car audio arrangements have moved on somewhat. I played CDs in my last car, but the next one comes with a built in MP3 player, with the files stored either on a full-sized SD card or a USB flash drive. I don't want to use the USB port as that'll be a handy place to charge the phone, so the SD card is a better option. It turns out that the SD card slot on my laptop is of the micro-SD variety, so I'm either going to need an external card reader (possibly combined with a CD drive, since I dont have one of those either) which takes full sized SD cards, or I'll have to use a micro SD card and put it in an adapter when it's in the car. Here's what the car manual says about adapters: [I]"Only use SD cards in standard size. When using smaller SD card with the adapter the SD memory card can fall out while driving the vehicle due to vibrations from the adapter." [/I] Do we think that's true? I can't help feeling they're being ultra-cautious here. Incidentally, one day I will face the same issue when I come to update the maps on the sat-nav, which also live on a full-sized SD card. The external CD drives I'm looking at which come with a built-in SD card reader don't mention whether they will also write files back to an SD card, so that's another question. Any thoughts? (bring back compact cassette?) -R [/QUOTE]
