help with sd card reader/USB
Discussion
So I wanty to update the maps on my van, but it has a USB slot and Renault wants £175+ to download updates etc .....so I bought an SD card with updated maps but of course my media unit has a USB port so I bought an SD card reader.
Alls going too good isnt it.
Put said SD card into card reader, put USB into port on media unit. screen says nah, nothing on the USB? Puzzled thought, I know, I'll download files to my laptop then upload to an MT USB stick and that'll work wont it.
So put reader into laptop and cant access any files on the sd card???
tried google and it says use file exporer, did that , still wont open.....HELP....

properties says it has 14gb but doesnt show any files.....wierd I know. But I have an mt stick on order and see if I can copy over any files on the sd card to the new usb stick and see if the van will like that............
Please expand on this. Properties show what exactly? How many files, total used, total free etc.Road2Ruin said:
Does the file system on the SD card and USB stick need to be a particular format? Often they can be quite weird with non PC things like TVs etc.
It’s the same with the Porsche PCCM+ SD card. I can duplicate it, including at a low level, and it looks identical on a PC, but the copy is not recognised by the head unit. There is some sort of protection applied to prevent using duplicate cardsmikef said:

When you say "low level", you're doing a disk image copy? If so, I'd wonder if it is uniquely keyed to a specific vehicles serial number.Du1point8 said:

Bought on ebay. Its NOT the sd card.
It sounds like you've bought something non-legit with zero support from the vendor.You've no idea whether the files are valid, or even if they exist at all.
I doubt this is something anyone can help you with except random stabs in the dark.
There's also a chance you've just been scammed.

Err thanks for the positive reply. The feedback from previous buyers says different but you crack on
I'm kind of pointing out the obvious - Feedback is easily generated by bots and you ignored my suggestion of asking the vendor so i'm assuming there is zero support from them, ie. it's non-legit.
Correct me if I'm wrong?
Or alternatively 'crack on' yourself - not a word of thanks to random strangers who tried to help you get your counterfeit goods working. Nice......

I always find it a bit odd when people buy "cheap" copies of software etc from a random ebay account and are surprised it doesn't work. Its a risk you take trying to save by using something that potentially is not legit.
Head units are notoriously fussy about map updates etc, do the risk is even higher.
