I don't think there is a slot for SD anywhere that I read. Looks like USB it is...careful though it mentions not leaving USB plugged in while starting your Kona...see images

 

Leave my music usb plugged in all the time, no issues yet ?

 

I do the same, but i think i know why that warning is there. Just incase the usb drive gets a surge, and gets wiped or corrupt, Hyundai is not responsible. So no more leaving classified MI6 info with my music.

 

Good news!

 

No SD card slot except for the Navigation. It's in the middle behind the screen. Good news thought they have adapters that accept an SD card and plug into the USB also!

Blessings and Peace

 

I need an SD card slot in addition to the USB.

I need another hole.

 

Use a USB Splitter.

Do you have an ebay or Amazon link for the splitter? I never thought of that because I figured it might default to one or the other. How does the infotainment system differentiate between them?

 

I have serious doubts that a splitter would accomplish what you want it to do - to be able to do this you'd have to be able to mount both devices and then be able to choose which mounted drive you would want to play and OEM infotainment systems are not generally this advanced. Different folders sure, different physical media drives is something else altogether.

You could possibly split to run a phone cable and a sd card or thumb drive but the phone would likely have priority when it was plugged in.

 

I got the splitter from ebay for $2 and installed it. Will report back tomorrow after I plug my phone in.

 

They're inexpensive.

Blessings and Peace

 

The splitter causes a read error. Does not work consistently.
