I dont think there is a limit, not one your gonna bump into right away atleast.
Its true that the car can only write a specific amout of chars. in the display, but that is not the limit.

In my Ceed i have hooked up a 160 GB western digital 2.5" drive with over 10.000 tracks on it. The USB connector dont have enough juice for this but a 12v to USB power adaptor and a USB split cable does magic.

There are two drawback with this solution:
1) each time you turn of the car so does the drive, resulting in lost track position, so you really only have the option to listen to the tracks at random. but thats fine with me.

2) It takes about 35 seconds before the car read all the folder information from the drive, and it dosnt start playing before it read all the information.
