The CF reader is very picky on the Honda Navi, when you buy a CF card, it's already preformatted to FAT, FAT32, or NTFS.

You must format it on a card reader to FAT32. After doing that and maxing out my CF card, it reads like a charm.

I use to think it was the heat, cold, or brand that was junk, come to find it was the way it's formatted, not all cards are formatted as FAT32.

Hope this helps.
I tried using an adapter with SD cad. It intermittently works.
I then read the above and reformatted it from "fat(default) to "fat32"
Works like a charm now.
Thanks a lot !!!
