The micro SD card is 128GB of which the "car" music collection is 57GB... so far comprises 223 albums with 3224 tracks. I'm looking to expand that using a 256GB microSD card. There's rich pickings on YouTube with a premium subscription... YT has some wonderful albums from Jazz, classical music etc which are audio only... not bloated with video
IG head unit system can supposedly support a HDD though I've not experimented with it as yet
I’ve plugged a tiny Samsung 128Gb usb A thumb drive into the slot in the cubby. This has about 11,000 high quality mp3 tracks on it. This is about 80Gb worth, batch converted from FLAC files on the home HiFi hard drive. Grenny head unit handles these perfectly, organising them by artist and album and showing cover art. Set to start playing instantly when I turn the ignition. I just leave it on shuffle and skip any tracks I don’t want to hear. Looking forward to getting the speakers upgraded and a sub added. I may never go back into the house 😜

Bit of a milestone achieved with an initial 500km run-in - a very nice way to spend a Sunday.
All functioning normally, with the exception of the GPS/CarPlay malfunction mentioned elsewhere.

Awesome, you picked yours up.
I have a feeling that is one Grenadier that will certainly be put to good use.

@Lollo050968 OK, thank you... Behind the RTT? Won't the RTT then stick over the windscreen?

Once we hit the dirt we remembered our new back door table had been fitted by the rattling coming through the vehicle...we stopped placed a folded towel on the table and closed it up...rattles were gone...yesterday the trip to the Foam rubber industries where I purchased a 10mm thick piece of quite solid foam rubber...625mm wide just a fraction wider than the table so it touches the support arms and stops them from rattling and 370mm deep which as you can see fills the cavity but makes for a good nonskid table top...I might fix it with double sided Wurth tape...happy motoring :cool:
I had the same problem - after table was fitted the other day I was on some rough bitumen and thought I must have a truck load of scrap metal bouncing around in the back. Didn’t realise what it was until I opened the big door to check and on shutting, it heard the dreaded clanging. Gave the tablet a few thumps and found out it was the culprit.
Considered bending then tabs in a bit, but they are fairly solid, and as the slide latches only just sit behind them by a few mm. at most, it would reduce that catch area.
After buying some rubber as you suggested, when I went to fit it, I noticed that some mounting screws along the bottom were not done all the way up which allowed it to vibrate.
I also noticed the rubber bump stops had locating bolts behind the unit.
Tightened the bottom screws, undid the bump stops and spaced them out with washers, and bingo, closes firmly with no more rattles or extra padding!

Did you have to remove the rail to fit the mount? i have bought similar but I just can’t find a way to get an allen key in a position to do up the screws
no, I have not removed.
One screw you have to fix, long side of the holder to up, the other holder down. Not full tight screwed, and move in position and fix it.
For the screw to fix I used at first only a bit with 1/2“ nut, it´s less high to screw.
I still have a set, will take some pictures for better understanding.

Ja sind, habe diese aber mit den weißen Blindstopfen verwahrt um, die Buchsen jederzeit abdichten zu können. Habe neue bei der Montage benutzt.

Yes, but I kept them with the white blind plugs in order to be able to seal the sockets at any time. I used new ones during the assembly.
