flash card memory size and adapter question by terryp1
Mar 14, 2007 (2:04 pm)
Reply
Today finally took possession of '07 CR-V 4WD EX-L with navigation. Love it. Gave up the '05 EX.
 
My question concerns using a flash memory card (I'd prefer CompactFlash because I have some of them.)
I want to know exactly what I need as far as an adapter is concerned to be able to use it in the vehicle. I'm looking for specific name/numeric description of item and possibly brand because I'm non-techie.
 
Also, I want to know how big a memory the card can have and still have it work. I ask that because I'm not sure if there is a limit.
The owner's manual says this: "The card limit of the player is 255 folders and 999 tracks. If the card has a complex structure, it takes some time for the system to begin playing it."
 
I'm not sure what all that means. I'm not sure how much memory 999 tracks (regular rock 'n roll stuff, mp3 files) would take up on a flash card.
I do remember a comedy album long ago about some stoners on a quiz show and the question is how many joints in an ounce. The stoner answers "Uh, um, uh, two!...(snickering) I roll big joints."
Host: "You're right. Our judges roll big joints, too."

I just bought an EX-L w/o Nav (or subwoofer) and I too was disappointed in the low end, especially having just left a subwoofer equipped vehicle. I purchased a Kenwood KSC-SW1 Enclosed Subwoofer and had it professionally installed for about $250 total (if you shop carefully).
 
It is a truly outstanding upgrade, and as far as I am concerned, effectively doubles the quality of the overall system. It does not however fit under the seat. These pictures show where the installer and I decided to place the unit.
 
(I also installed a Garmin Nuvi 350, as you'll see.)

Cell Phone through Car speaker system works great by nearmsp

I have a Nuvi 360 with bluetooth. I bought a $3 cable from Radio shack and connected one end to the aux port on the EXL and the other in to the Nuvi. I now have excellent bluetooth through the Car Speaker System. The microphone is on the nuvi. I switch from FM/CD/XM to Aux when an incoming call comes. I had problems getting it going initially. The sound would drop every minute or so. I finally figured out that if the cell phone is kept too close to the bluetooth device (in this case the Nuvi 360) then it creates problems. I now keep the cell phone in my front console and everything works fine.

1. PC Card slot. 2. Bluetooth by mikala_sf

1. Has anyone managed to successfully use the PC card slot with an adapter and a memory card (either CF or SD) to play music? If so, what brand/type of adapter did you use? I heard SanDisk adapters don't work so I'm very curious which have worked. What memory capacity did your card have?
 
2. I had a Parrot CK-3100 LCD installed in my 07 with Navi. We had it installed in the sunglasses holder. Can close the sunglass holder and it's hidden away (love that!). The microphone is just above the rear-view mirror. Works really well so far, cuts out music when a call comes in, lots of voice command options, syncs with your phone and then has all your contacts in it which you can voice-command call once you program it. Item + install was $610 in SF Bay Area. If you have any info about question #1 please let me know.

Bluetooth Kit by rage151
May 07, 2007 (4:38 pm)

My girlfriend ordered her 2007 CRV 4wd, w/Navi. She is really interested in a Bluetooth Kit to interface w/the factory Nav system. We know there are 3rd party units that attach to the dash, etc... But she wants a module that plugs into an AUX jack or something along those lines and operable via the OEM Nav system. Can anyone point us in the right direction?
 
Any and all help will be appreciated!

Unfortunatly on the LX you cant add the radio controls to the steering wheels. Evidently the steeringwheel on the 07 LX was not prewired as it was in previous years.

I bought a scan disk 2g card from best buy and a 6 in 1 card adapter. Works great.

well, i went out and bought a san-disk 6 in 1 PC card adapter and a san-disk 2gb card. put about 400 songs on the card and it plays perfect. i'd heard the san-disk pc card adapters won't work but this one did so go figure.
 
one thing to note, with the 2gb card you can't simply put 400 songs on the card, they have to be in folders. i chose to make four folders and put about 100 in each. something to do with the way the card holds information.
 
also of note, you can make a playlist in itunes and then highlight the songs you want and drag and drop them into the folders you made on the san-disk card. i made a playlist with randomly selected 4 and 5 star songs.
 
once in the car you can set the card to play songs at random from all folders. cool!! i bought the 2gb card in a store so paid $25 but online they can come way cheaper. will consider more cards with more refined playlists in the future.
