SDHC
« on: January 07, 2010, 12:15:53 pm »
I want to use SDHC cards with my RNS. (version B, HW11 and current firmware 1100; canbus L). Am downloading 1200 (don't like the bugs with 26xx) which in theory should have SDHC support.

Can I use any SDHC card? Are there any brands tried'n'tested by other forumites?
What is the maximum size compatible? I read that 32GB support is available only on 26xx firmware.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

i thought it was only on 2660 that supported SDHC. i dont know about 1200.

I would suggest buying a quality SD card like a class 5 sandisk card. Otherwise you'll be transferring music onto it at like 1mb/second. Which will take hours for 32gb of music! and it will miss tracks!

I didn't download either 2660 or 2680. Just spent this morning reading vwnavi.

I'd always go reputable but just wondered if there were some cards that worked. Not all cards are equal and I wouldn't expect them all to work.

I was after getting class six either 16 or 32GB cards.

differences between 2680 and 2660 as posted by Mater

1. Firmware is a Factory Firmware Release version not a Beta
2. Reformats the HDD and updates the way it is addressed (hence the speed increase that is noticed by most ppl)
3. Better support for SDHC (now properly supports 32GB before some people had problems over 16GB cards)
4. Fixed Regensburg Syndrome. Will change back to your location within a couple of seconds (will depend on how good your antenna is and location but everyone who i have done the Upgrade for says it changes within about 2 secs.)
5. Fixed Battery drain issue
6. Correct support for MFSW
7. Correct support for Voice Control (it is hit an miss on 266X) It's now an option in the Setup menu & Voice Tag option is also an option when saving addresses
8. Fixed MP3 issue for HDD playback
9. Better response to touchscreen input
10. Different graphical displays for HDD capacity and copying to HDD

Thanks, why would I need VCDS?  I upgraded to 2660 with no issues.

P.S. Attempting to download the file comes up with a broken link!!!
