will a 16 GB CF Card work as well?

[BLouIsGod]

I got two things off ebay:

TRANSCEND PCMCIA ATA ADAPTER FOR CF CARD - ~$7 shipped

Transcend compact flash 4gb card ~$25 shipped

Works like a champ and is way way faster than an mp3 data cd.

Well I ordered an 8gb Transcend Card/Card Reader.

I had to also buy a USB adapter so I can transfer my music. Sucks having to buy two different card adapters. But I guess the $53 bucks I spent is cheaper than an iPod.

I just did a Navi retrofit and am definitely missing the iPod cable on my Alpine headunit. This setup will be nice though and I won't have to keep an iPod in the car anymore.

Will this one work?

That's what I am wondering. It seems Compusa doesn't sell one anymore, and I would really prefer to use SD cards.

EDIT... Oh well, it's 10 bucks, I went ahead and ordered it. I'll update if when I get it if it works or not.

I've got a bunch of Kingston 2 gig cards so I'll probably try those out.

[igotmysi]

wo0ot Juz bought the Transcend adapter and the memory card wo0o0ot

[QueenB]

Ugh, now I need to figure out how to get the data onto the Compact Flash card. LOL

[QueenB]

Okay, I am having problems trying to get the songs on the CF card. I hava a Zune account and could not figure out how to download the songs to the card. Can someone help out?

I have a slot on my computer where the whole CF & adapter fits into.

[yubbie2]

AFAIK, you just drag the .mp3's onto the card.

Got it a couple of weeks ago and it works great with all the SD cards I've tried in it.

Will the new San Disk 4gb Ultra IV work with the SanDisk SDAD-38-A10 CF to PC Card Adapter? Amazon.com: SanDisk SDAD-38-A10 CF to PC Card Adapter: Electronics

takes a little while to get here cause its from hong kong but i put in a 2 Gig Sandisk SD card (less than 10$$) and it works perfectly fine so far and i filled up over a gig of music onto it.

if u go on ebay and search "PCMCIA 5 in 1" you'll find them. i got the EDUP brand one but theres also a BUFFALO brand.

thank you

Question for all of you--

I've created folders for each of my albums, and on the card it shows the songs are in order based on Album Track #.

When I plug my card into the adaptor, and insert it in the CF slot, the songs show on the Nav Screen in Alphabetical order within each folder.

Is there a way to avoid having the songs in alphabetical order, and have them display in their proper track # order?

I have read conflicting information about whether SDHC cards work with any adapter in the Honda nav system. I realize that several people have had luck with CF cards, but I just got an SanDisk 8 GB SDHC card for the holidays and I want to know if I can use it in my car. I have seen several PCMCIA adapters listed on eBay that reference Honda in their descriptions, but I'm not sure they'll work.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
