The map data and applications are on the onboard 2GB flash. There is smaller flash for WinCE image.

SDHC works fine and one USB only. You cannot have USB drive and ipod at same time.

I usually have 4GB USB with my wife's MP3 songs and 2GB SD with children's songs. I use 4GB SDHC on my f500 and it works on x710 as well. Some ppl connected USB hdd. I think they had to use external power as well since x710 does not provide enough power thru USB.

 

I wonder if you could hookup a powered usb hub in the car, which would give you the choice of ipod, usb flash drive, or usb hdd... As long as you only had ONE connected at any given time, you should be ok as far as the bus, plus it would provide external power for devices like hard drives that need it.

How much of a directory structure can the 710 support / display?

Thanks Andy for the information on the Autoleads.

Question on the Pioneer unit (that is a good price for the 710, too bad they don't ship to Canada) - how is the bootup time when starting the car, I've read different things on the internet about it being good and bad - about 5 seconds until the music starts and 2 to 3 minutes until everything is ready.

 

I'm not sure if it would work. You could check on AVIC411 forum. There should be someone who tried it.

Folders? according to Manual, "No limit" for FAT32.

 

@androulakis I bought the AXXESS ASWC-1 and I am having issues with the headlights on. In my my 2008 XJ8 X358, the steering wheel control switches illuminate when the headlights are on, and the ASWC-1 gets lost. Some buttons won't work when the headlights are on. I believe there is a change of resistance when the steering wheel control switches get illuminated. I've tried to manually program the ASWC-1 with the headlights off, headlights on, car running. The ASWC-1 behaves differently in each combination. I have also tried the PAC SWI-RC1 with no luck.

Do you know if Autoleads box or Connect2 unit would work? Do you know if I can buy them in the USA?
