Hmm...I haven't used the PC card slot yet as I have just got my CRV two days ago and am waiting for my PCMCIA card to arrive from an online order that I placed.

I don't know if the UK manual is different that the US manual but in the user manual there is a section on the PC Card (pg 199-210) I would suggest that you confirm that you meet the requirements of the file types as listed in the manual.

Do you have a way to test the PCMCIA card to make sure it's not defective?

It does say the following in the manual with regards to errors:

Media Error: It appears when the unsupported PC card is inserted. The system supports CF card, Flash ATA card, and SanDisc 6-in-1 Card Adapter.

I am in the UK too and have my PC card feature working fine.

I use a SanDisk ULTRA PC Card Adapter which takes only CF cards and a SanDisk Ultra II 2GB CF Card.

Everything works fine.

I have 'Ripped' 22 CD's in Windows Media Player 11 in WMA format at 192 kbps and everything lists fine in the car and sounds really clear and great.

Not 100% sure if the CR-V supports SD cards? but it does say that it supports the SanDisk 6in1 card so you may just need to try it with a CF card instead.

Hopes this helps.

i seem to be a bit lost with it all.

i have sony laptop which hsa no sd nor pc card slot so had to get both from web. it took time to get pc card adaptor but i cant think of a way of testing it.

i have asked my local dealer and they said to come tomorrow but they are not too hot re this. in fact they gave me a page of things that i would need to buy.

as far as sd card is concerned it plays the stuff back when i put it on windows media.

any suggestions?

It is really not too complicated at all:

(1) Purchase a PC Card Adapter
(2) Purchase a CF or SD Card
(3) Place CF or SD card in your PC's or Laptop's card reader (if you have no reader you will need one of these too!)
(4) Open Windows Media Player
(5) Select Rip tab and click drop down menu
(6) Select either Windows Media Audio or MP3 from the Format menu
(7) Select rate upto 192 kbps for WMA or upto 360kbps for MP3
(8) Rip CD's to library
(9) Open Sync tab and select your CF or SD card
(10) Drag albums across to the Sync window and the click on start sync
(11) Now the albums will sync to your Cf or SD card
(12) Once finished remove Cf or SD Card
(13) Place Cf or SD Card in PC Card Adapter and insert into the PC Card slot in your CR-V
(14) Enjoy!

The music files that you are trying to use...are they DRM protected? If so that will cause a problem.

[sanjaywahie]

i dont know what drm protected means...i just rip the normal audio cd and then sync them onto sd card.

i am trying to rip another cd now with the 192kbps rate setting to see if that makes any difference...
