I love my sd music. I create top level folders by artist and album folders underneath. I make sure to add the track number in front of the track name so they list in order. I use a product called/by jriver and it makes it easy. I'm not sure how to get non-mp3 music out of iTunes but if you google search I seem to remember there is a product that will do it easier than burning a cd and re-ripping. If you rip cd's, it's worthwhile, in my opinion, to rip mp3's at the highest bit level supported. SD memory is cheap.

<<<@!1!@>>>

I have been unable to get it to read my 64GB SDXC card. I've tried formatting it FAT32 and exFAT. I've even tried just using just 32GB of the storage. It won't read it.

Here is the exact one I've tried. If someone knows of a 64GB card that will work, please share.

I'm currently using a 64GB USB stick with a cable in the glove compartment.

Amazon.com: SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10/UHS-1 Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter- SDSDQUA-064G-U46A (Label May Change): Electronics Amazon.com: SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10/UHS-1 Memory Card Speed Up To 30MB/s With Adapter- SDSDQUA-064G-U46A (Label May Change): Electronics

Also while I don't think the quality of SirusXM (overall) is that good. I believe it sounds better with the B&O sound system that any other car I've had it in previously.

The MMI doesn't support SDXC cards, only SDHC.

I'm unaware of a 64GB SDHC card. Do you know what 64 gig cards they got to work?

I am using this one
Amazon.com: Sony 64GB SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 R40 Memory Card (SF64UY/TQMN): SONY: Computers & Accessories Amazon.com: Sony 64GB SDXC Class 10 UHS-1 R40 Memory Card (SF64UY/TQMN): SONY: Computers & Accessories

Formatted it to FAT on my Mac and it is working like a charm. When it was formatted on Windows machine it was unreadable.

Make sure the card reader is SDXC compatible. A Lexar reader I have appeared to work, only to silently produce a corrupt volume.

That did it! I partitioned and formatted it FAT32 OSX and it worked fine. That it weird that it wouldn't work when formatted in Windows, but I'll take it.

That is the second issue I solved today (side assist setting off my radar detector), so I'm feeling good!

Thanks for the help.
