Compact Flash Card only showing 50 folders
 

Bought a 8g Compact Flash Card and filled it up with over 94 folders. When I play it, only 50 folders are visible. Is there a limit to the size of the card that the system recognizes? (09 with Navigation.)

I know there is a limit of how many songs it can see probably a limit on folders as well. May I recommend buying a use ipod and using that.

See page 4-29 in manual: basically, 255 folders, 512 files limit so large CF cards aren't useful.

Like he said used iPod works best.

PS I have all my Xmas music on a CF so I don't clutter my iPod.

Thanks...I have an IPOD. Dealer ordered me a cable, but stated it may take a week to arrive. I already had a CF Card. Thought I would use it in the interim.

I thought it just uses a basic usb ipod cord?

The 2009 uses a proprietary cable - the 2010 and later use a USB iPod cable.

yeah, there's a pretty annoying firmware limitation on what the system will recognize. Just have to work around it.

agreed...at least the dealer (CarMax) offered the cable. Sales manager did indicate that the 2009 model did have a "funky" cable. (Still can not understand why Nissan would use a CF card instead of a USB flash drive..)

Well I finally received the cable. Plugged it in and it worked..BUT it would not charge the IPOD. Had to get an after market adapter. Another 20 bucks. WTF
