Thread: How To Get Your SD Card ID in Your Garmin Device

I tried this but I don't think you can get the CID. It gives the partition ID not the card ID, which you can get by issuing a DIR command on that drive. In my case, the "real hard drive ID" is the same regardless what drive I select.

As stated by dvazg in his edit to that post 18 months ago "Where is the card ID....?",
and as stated by you "...."the real hard drive ID" is the same regardless what drive I select." I long ago gave up on that so-called hardware ID extractor.

I freely admit to a very shallow understanding of running command prompts, and was under the impression that a dir command on a drive only yields the "Volume Serial Number". Could you explain more fully how to get the CID using >dir?
