A preloaded slot radio card on my sandisk clip sport

It is not cost effective to fix an mp3 player like that. Here is a model that should be built a bit better.

No, you do not need a SIM card.

Make sure there is no preloaded software on the card. Also make sure that it is formated properly with what the car manuel suggests.

The Sansa Clip+ uses microSD cards. Your 16GB card is actually a microSDHC card. While it fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible. You need to use microSD cards, 2GB and smaller.

The "Clip Plus" has a slot for a microSD card, the regular "Clip" does not.

You need to visit SanDisk and upgrade your MP3 firmware for Slot radio cards!

You will need to get a micro sd card (it can be a dummy) and insert it into the slot on the side of the mp3 player. If you do not have one, you can use one of the round edges of a paper clip (be careful) to get it to come on. When you put either in, it should come on automatically, but if not, just press the power button. This should work.
