PCMCIA to SD Card Memory Card Adapter SDHC to PC Card Converter Reader for Mercedes Benz S, E, C, GLK, CLS Class COMAND APS System Media Player

I love my car, but it's older and lacks in certain features like Bluetooth streaming from my smartphone. I am old school and actually have all of my albums on my phone and on my PC. Since I couldn't use the music from my phone in my car, I did the next best thing, I put my music on SD memory cards (supposedly my car only accepts SD drives of 32GB or smaller, not really a problem because you can store a TON of music on a 32GB SD card, even at high bit rates) and bought this PCMCIA interface that fits my car. Works like a charm! With my COMAND interface I can stroll through the folders and select the music I want to play. Sounds awesome, no hiccups or anything. The ONLY complaint I have is that when you start your car, the system takes about 10 seconds (seems like a long time (see first picture); I'm sure it's because of the car, not because of the PCMCIA interface) before the system reads the card and starts playing the music. Again, this is only when you start the car. Going from folder to folder, album to album or song to song, there is no delay. All-in-all, this interface with two 32GB SD cards is a god send!! I can play all of my music in Dolby 7.1 through my Harman Kardon LOGIC7 surround sound 14-speaker 610-watts system. AWESOME!!! Totally recommend.

Works well for older tech. I kept the card size under 32gigs and everything worked the way it should. I have gotten used to the modern auotmatic tools for setting up storage and music, so you have to pay a tad more attention to your file structure. But not a big deal it works! Used in in my older Mercedes OEM deck.

This adaptor works exactly as advertized. I'm useing my adaptor in a 2011 Mercedes E350. Mercedes of this vintage use FAT32 formating. Like the discription says this adaptor is plug and play - in older Mercedes cars with the Command audio system with a CF card input. Just remember that you CF card needs to be FAT32 formated. The actual adaptor doesn't care how you've formatted your CF card but your car does.

Works on 07 Mercedes. I have a macbook and in order to be able to use this PCMCIA adapter you must first format the SD card you want to use. Go to disk utility and change the format from ExFAT to FAT32(called MS-DOS on Mac). Also when transferring CDs to mp3 on a Mac you must change the import settings on iTunes from AAC encoder to MP3 Encoder. Finally when inserting the PCMCIA adapter the car only recognized the adapter when I inserted it barcode side up, I have it pictured.

Perfect for 2012 GLK. This work great for my older tech benz audio system. Converted to SD card with this adaptor.

Works great and let's me easily transfer files between the pcmcia slot and my PC (via standard full size sd card)!

My 2011 Benz has that goofy PC card slot in the dash. I also have a Bluetooth dongle for streaming music from my phone. The Bluetooth is pretty good but occasionally stops working and I wanted a backup. I have a 16GB SD card from an old camera in it and it works perfectly. That is plenty of space for my music collection. It is easy to scroll through folders and find precisely the music that I’m looking for. If you have an older Benz, this is a no brainer.

Excellent product and service.

It’s good and working fine, price could be less
