What is the biggest SD card you can use in the RCD510?

Thanks

1200 and up 32GB SDHC card format

Thanks

you need to have the secret menu activated, which is bought up by holding down setup, which will show you the radio setup menu and then if the button is held longer will enter full setup mode and you can then find the software and hardware versions.

But you may need VCDS to activate this function.

Thanks for that.

Is there a cross over date of when the 1200 firmware was used from?

Thanks

I have no idea of the firmware and model years, actually just noticed this is RCD which have different firmware versions.  and looking at the my-gti link the rcd510 has always supported sdhc so looks like you will be good upto 32gb card.

Sorry for the confusion, I just saw 510 and and missed the C.

Thanks for that!

Looks like I can use an sdhc card instead of buying an mdi unit.

Thanks
