Preparation of an SD/MMC card
You can write data onto the SD/MMC cards with the help of a standard SD/MMC card reader and your PC.
Note:
Blaupunkt cannot guarantee the cor- rect functioning of all SD/MMC cards available on the market and, for this reason, recommends the use of SD/ MMC cards manufactured by "SanDisk" or "Panasonic".
