Are you sure? cause the card has about 700+ songs that it can play, but there are about 370 songs that dont appear, so it cant be that it can only play 512 songs with Nav.

Any ideas?

700 - 370 = 330. If I had to guess, i'd say you have 882 songs on your card.

He is correct! 2GB is the largest card you can use. I have the Music box on both of my vehicles. Don't get a generic card either, I have seen a few compatibility problems with them as well.

Get the Sandisk. I have the regular Sandisk 2GB in my Armada, and I purchased a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB from Circuit City for $24.99 (really great price). Those work perfectly. I had purchased one on eBay that looked like a Sandisk, but ended up being garbage, fortunately I did get my money back including shipping.

I speak from experience, DON'T get a generic card! I went through 4 before giving up and buying a Sony. No problems at all now!
