I wonder what the CF port is for?

It is probably for listening to mp3s, but it would be cool if you could view pics on the multi-function screen.

 

SD is way better.. CF is old.. we shall see soon.

 

^^^+1 But one can wonder

 

Huh? There are plenty of manufacturers that are still utilizing compact flash technology. There is nothing out-dated about it.

But, that is neither here, nor there. My best guess is it will be used to view pics/videos on the nav screen. It would be really cool if you could copy mp3/wav files to some kind of onboard hd and listen to them through the car's audio system. Another possibility would be to copy contacts/phone-book entries on to the car to view through your nav screen. I guess we'll see soon.

 

don't tell professional photographers that. Just about every pro D-slr uses CF cards. The biggest and fastest memory cards always come out in CF format first.

 

why cant i have an AUX in????

 

This is from Edmunds.com

" New stereo system is not a discrete 5.1 setup, but the G's front doors were designed around its 10" front door woofers. Plus, the head unit has a sophisticated, home theater-spec 24-bit chip that allows it to "pull all the nuances off CDs." According to Crahan, "you can even hear when a female singer changes the shape of her mouth." Finally, the system has a 9.5G hard drive so you can store your music in the car. "

 

Kick@$$!! 10" woofers rock my face off!

 

Wow, MP3 hard drive and a bitchen sound system.....Infiniti has been listening.

 

Sorry I offended the CF users.. most PDAs have moved on from CF.. and SD/SDmini is smaller.Again.. IMO CF is too big.. cameras use them becuase they do have better read/write speeds, and the larger capacity. Now there is a 4GB SD and CF has one 8GB card out.

Back to the car, I am guessing like everyone ,it will be for music and photos.

 

if you want SD, you can get an SD-to-CF converter. however, CF capacities are a lot larger than SD nowadays, and it's cheaper. you can get an 8GB CF card fairly cheap - a max capacity for SD cars is like 4GB now, and they are quite a bit more expensive per gig.

 

Yes, the CF comes in 8GB for like $320
The SD 4Gb goes for around $120

I wouldnt say fairly cheap... I just use SD becuase my PDA, camera (Im no pro, I have a cheap Casio 5MP), all use it.. my old PDA years ago Axim X5 used CF and SD.

 

What this should actually be is a USB 2.0 port or IEEE Port [FireWire], that way your not confined to one storage technology or device.

 

Are you sure that you are comparing similar cards, i.e. Read/Write speeds?

 

I can usually here that while she's on her knees also....
