I agree somewhat but since our front SD slot is deactivated, that isn't really a convenient option. A thumb drive with all your movies/music would work, though. Probably find a cheap one with just as much, or more, memory than your iphone.
what about something similar to this:
Interesting. I guess that could work for him. Depends on how he feels about that and making it look aesthetically pleasing. not sure its long enough to route to glove box.
WHY did someone remove this????Did anyone actually try moving the SD to the front?
The pic shows the flat cable that connects the front SD slot to the unit, anyone remembers seeing it on their unit?
EXACTLY!!!
The video to promote the unit was based on a front SD slot; post #450 on page 30 stated they moved the SD card to the back slot. This was the same post in which they stated they were shipping out the units.
Hmmmm, if Moddiction can't/won't supply the original pieces, that might be workable. 48cm is about 19 inches, long enough to make it to the glove box, I think.
The front SD slot is for an easy access to update maps/add music/add videos or whatever needed.
You mean the rear SD slot? I dunno, because everything I've read says that, if there's a card in the rear slot, the front slot becomes non-functional (which, itself seems weird). So, as you say, if the card with the Nav software is in the rear, in order to update the Nav software, you need to pull your dash apart each time. :frusty:
It seems like a good idea. I just read over a hundred reviews from different suppliers, mostly negative. I guess the part you would connect to the unit is extremely flimsy and does not secure well. It would probably fall out of its slot and you would have to take everything apart to reconnect. Sounds like a bit of a hassle to me.
I thought the updates are done through the USB cable that attaches to the back? Perhaps I misread.
Could tape the cable to the back of the unit, it appears that's what the OEM manufacturer did, according to the picture. May be worth a shot, if no other options. The concept of pulling the dash apart everytime to get to the SD card is just stupid.
Same here, isn't the SD card just a memory location to hold the nav software, all software updates and inputting of extended tagged media such as movies and music can be done via the aux usb cable that comes with the unit and is run to ones glove box.
Im under the same assumption. I figured thats why Moddiction didnt need to enable the front slot. Since everything would be done via USB cable.
