SD card slot in center console

[silveradonationfan15]

I noticed today my truck has a sd card slot in the center console. im just curious on what it is used for? Is it for media like music? or to put pictures or something on your radio screen?

One of the best features in the truck. Put your music on an SD card and rock on!

YES!

 

You can address up 100,000* songs and use your voice commands (or radio) to play them.

 

That is not a typo it actually is one hundred thousand. I have I 64GB in there with like 11,000 songs nearly my entire media library I never use sat radio or normal radio.

 

Note: The card must be formatted as NTFS just rickclick that card/drive on your computer and select format then NTFS.

 

Commands include stuff like Play Song ..., Play Album..., Play Artist ..., Play Genre and a couple more. So it is best to organize your music and use an mp3 tag program set the meta info. ie) If you have AC/DC it might be ACDC or AC DC with genre Hard Rock for some files and Rock for others depending on what the source was. Just drop them in a folder and open them all with Mp3 tag program and re-label the artist and genre fields etc all at once. Makes things a lot easier with the voice commands.

 

 

Q: Has anyone tried a 128GB (technically speaking if it can address 64 should be able to address 128GB of memory both are 64 bit.

A buddy used that slot to put a custom image on the radio startup screen. I helped him format the image in my photoshop but not sure where he got the hack to do it.

Anyone know the trick to getting album art to display while playing? Mine does for some albums but not others.

Ok. I have a '16 SLT CC. Where it be?

It's embedded in the mp3 file itself. The easiest way I've found to do it is by using iTunes. Open the file in iTunes and you can add pictures to

your mp3 file, any picture you want. If you want to put an album cover in it, google the band, select images, find the picture you want,

save it to a computer file. Open the mp3 in iTunes and where it says "add artwork", click it and find the picture on your computer. iTunes

will go back to the same folder where you saved the picture, so when you are ready to do another one, put all your album covers in the same folder.

 

The best pictures are 500 x 500 pixels or better. Try to get a square picture, or crop one to make the top bottom and sides equal.

You can also edit the band, album, year etc. It's a little work, but it's better than looking at the music note all the time.

Like I said you can even put pictures of your family and friends on an mp3 song. Just crop the pic down to about a 500 x 500 and it will look great.

 

You can download iTunes for free. Import all your songs to it and arrange everything.

They ditched them for the 2016 models. I had the SD slot in my 14 but not the 16

I traded an SD card for LED headlights. Ok. I guess.
