I have a '15 F350. Love the truck so far but what are the options for the SD card port?
I bought another SD and loaded all the files that were on the SD that came in there on the supplemental SD card in an attempt to retain the Nav operation files, which failed might I add.
It just says it doesn't recognize that there is an SD card in there.
What's everyone using the SD port for? Anyone get an alternate SD card to work for their Nav and movies/music?
Only thing I've known people to use it for is to update the nav I tried to view my trail camera pictures on it while in the woods a while back got all excited id be able to use it for that and it doesn't recognize any of the files wtf I asked around on powerstroke army and no one knew a thing. Seemed as if no one uses it for much of anything but I'm not sure I haven't tried much with it since
That was my first thought was to buy a USB card reader got one at best buy and still no pictures. It comes up nothing but members and letter like it's not in the correct format I guess idk
You can use the SD card slot for music files for sure. You can also use it to load images for wallpaper on your display. I don't know if there is anyway to just use it as an image viewer.
The nav system has copy protection so you can't just copy the files to a bigger card and put music on it also.
If you tap into the port behind the glove box then you can install a usb cable with an adapter for sd cards (so you don't lose the maps from removing the nav sd card) or just use a usb (if you don't want a usb drive sticking out of the dash all the time) for your music. I have even thrown a portable hard drive in the glove box with all my music on it. Worked great.
As far as movies, I haven't tried anything on that end. Not sure it would recognize the movie file.
