Storage 2024

You mean there is no memory in the pdr :Arghh: ? Will go buy an sd card today.:p
Read your manual as there are some format requirements to pay attention to. Get at least a 64gig card as the C8 overwrites when the card is full so a min. A 64 gives you some extra time if you want to save videos off the card and don't get around to it right away.

The system will actually format a fresh card for you. In the 2024 infotainment system at least . I believe you also have the option to record continuously, overwriting what’s already on the card, or stopping when it’s full.
Settings menu.
. Audio Recording – Select on or off to
record audio with the recorded video.
. Automatic Recording – When on, the PDR
will automatically begin recording
whenever the vehicle is in the Run Power
Mode. Configurations include:
‐ Automatic Recording Video Quality
‐ While in Valet Mode only
‐ Whether to allow recording overwrite
when the storage is full
. Video Recording Quality – Low (480p),
or High (1080p). Higher quality will result
in larger recording files.
. Software Information – Displays PDR
software information and version .
And yes , it requires a minimum class 10 SD card. And the display will offer to format the card for you. Definitely set it for 1080P . Much better quality although not stellar. So the larger the card the better.
I believe it can use up to a 1 TB card but it’s a 16 GB minimum.
 
Many of us recommend this card in this post.
The faster it is, the more dependable it seems to be.

I was using 100 MBs cards and found them undependable as that thread showed. Just because it's class 10 doesn't make it dependable for the cars. No rhyme or reason for it, just personal experience with my car. The one I pointed to has been virtually flawless. Others have used much more expensive cards and also had good results. To me that price wasn't worth it, but these cards are budget friendly and seem to be dependable.

So Murray, give me the one you bought/have?

Seems that any card over 16GB and at least class 10 and you are good. And yes, like many things, higher price doesn’t necessarily mean better quality or performance.

Not for me. I was using 256GB Class 10 120MBs cards and the recording would stop willy nilly. Sometimes they'd record for days or weeks at a time and then one would start, but stop randomly part way through the drive. I tried three different SanDisk Ultra cards all 100MBs or faster and they all did the same thing. Work well for months and then start failing.

Always the possibility it’s a firmware glitch. I have a 512 GB class 10 SAN DISK and so far have had no issues. Wait, I shouldn’t have said that. Now I probably jinxed it…. :rolleyes:
 
Forget class 10 cards thats old school. UHS-3 aka U3 rating is what you should look for. At least 256Gb in size. The bigger the better because all SD cards have a limited number of times you can write to the same memory cell. A bigger card will take longer to get to that point.
The manual calls for “ class 10 is required “ . USS-3 is faster but the question is does the system recognize them . You have to wonder given that the phone maxes out at 4g and I believe the system is still running Android 10 whereas Android is now at version 14 . I can’t find current info on the Bluetooth version but it’s working fine. I haven’t tried a UHS-3 but the class 10 is working fine. And yes size matters, lol.

Yes. My C7 has PDR. Not positive if the 1 or 2LT had it but the 3 definitely does.
 
Omg BH, I take a few weeks off and let you run free on the Internet and you just dig yourself into a bigger hole that I have been trying to pull you out off for months. I took you under my wing and you jump off the ledge...
I am not to sure but what did I do wrong , dad? :p :ROFL:

I use this U3 card with no issues. It's also rated class 10.
