Ive been trying to make a backup of a newly purchased sd card. I need some guidance as I am at my wits end with this. I have booted into linux mint which I am told should be able to read this card format, it can't.... I am experienced with linux and even command line only linux from days past. I am not able to mount this card at all while other sd cards from cameras etc. work just fine. gparted doesnt see this card either. How are you guys able to make a copy of the card before putting it into the head unit. I am trying to share it here even when done. Id like to make a backup .img fil

Ok....this is frustrating. I made a bootable usb drive and loaded linux mint on it, boots up fine and recognizes various other cards form cameras etc. but not the stupid android formatted pioneer one. How on earth have you guys made copies of these cards!!!???

I had researched this enough to know that, so I still have not installed it into my head unit. I am going to attempt to make a back up image of later today if I can make time. Thanks!

Thank you I will purchase a usb sd card reader today and boot up linux mint and hopefully it works. Will report back!

Hello, I purchased a new sd card and would like to back it up before I insert it into my head unit. Windows does not seem to recognize it when using my internal sd card reader and when booting into linux the OS doesnt have the correct drivers to even utilize my internal sd card reader.... Is there a way to accomplish this on Windows? I am very tech savvy, just do not know a ton about all the ins and outs of what Pioneer has going on with these stupid sd cards. If it would register in windows I would be able to easily create a .img file but that is the part I am confused on why it wont

I just purchased a new sd card and havent inserted it into my radio yet, trying to figure out how to make an image from it but not having any luck. I have the same head unit as you. If someone can tell me what to do I will gladly share my image.
