Infotainment SD card slots

Post by hollesk »

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows the max capacity SD card recognised by infotainment system (W08 Technology Upgrade) in a 2020 GTI Polo. Can't see anything on it in the manual. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Keith

Hi hollesk

The Composition /Discover Media manual makes no direct referece to the size of the SD slot. I personally have a 32GB and it seems to work just fine.

Also found this article on this forum referring to the last gen Polo's SD card sizes:

And in this post (different forum) someone uses a 128GB:

There's similar lack of clarity and 'suck it and see' with USB sticks in BMWs
IIRC the manual said something like 32GB max, but people reported much bigger ones working just fine.

I suspect it may be the type of partition used that comes into play.
