burble Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Hold on, how do you transfer the music onto the hard drive?? Surely there must be a removable caddy or something so you can drap your mp3's onto it?? Can't you just clone this and put say a 300gig drive in there? [/ QUOTE ] You copy stuff to the hard drive either by copying it from the optical drive or the SD card slot. The drive is internal to the unit and isn't meant to be removed but there is a thread on VWNavi where someone has replaced his drive with a larger one. There is some discussion about the type of drive as the OEM one is (apparently) designed to cope with the temperature ranges and vibrations of being installed in a car. Personally I wouldn't complain, I wouldn't expect it to have 30Gb free for storing music even if it were a 30Gb drive dedicated to it since HD manufacturers would say that a 30000Mb hard drive is 30Gb when it isn't. I do think VW could do a better job of explaining the amount of space available for music storage but when just about everyone else in the industry is doing the same I can't blame VW for following suit.

Nelson_R32 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hmmm, should I, or shouldn't I? Seems this thread is like Marmite! I've got VW Customer Services number but they close at 6:30pm; I think it's at least the right thing to make them aware of it so other people don't get mislead Then see where we go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
