I know this has been asked before, but I cannot find an answer for it. I have 2007 GL450. I was wondering if someone here knows how to get the latest .iso and burn it to the DVD? I tried a few but no cigar. I get "Cannot read Navigation DVD", error. This is for North America Navigation by Alpine.

Is there a particular type of DVD you have to use? I am using DVD-R. Do I need DVD+R? Or a particular burning software? So far, I tried ISO Recorder, Imgburn, and Alcohol 120.

Thanks

It's pretty successfully copy protected, isn't it?

So you come to this forum asking how to do something illegal?

Holy crap, lkchris and I agree on something!!

This is a bad place to be asking for advice on how to steal software. In public, no less.

FIrst of all, the iso I am trying to burn is the image of the DVD that came with the car. I made a copy of it to keep it in case I need to burn it (if the original goes missing, or goes bad). Guess what, the original seems to have stopped working. So I tried to burn the ISO image to see if I can make that work, but that is not working either. I was hoping that MB has ISO images that MB car owners can download and burn them if needed, or perhaps offer a way to download the latest images and burn them if they need them quickly even if it is paid.

I don't see why it is illegal to ask such a question. The question is simple, is it possible to make a backup of your own DVD and then burn it to the blank DVD if needed? And second question is how do you get the latest ISO even if I have to pay for it? I would rather have an ISO file which I can download and update quickly and easily rather than getting a new DVD every single time I need to update maps.

I think MB should offer an easier and quicker way to update these maps.

It's not - but your post definitely sounded like you were trying to steal a copy of the map CD instead of paying for it.

Pretty common request on the Interweb.

Use a "write once" DVD. I used a Maxell 4.7 GB DVD-R, and got it to work successfully. Burn it at the slowest setting possible. The drive is very picky, but it can be done.

I sold my GL450 and the new owner is getting a similar error message :"Cannot read Navigation DVD". It was workign fine until yesterday. Two potential causes:
- My daughter deleted all destination addresses prior to sale (didn't notice any issues reading the disc)
- The iPhone connection has some loose wiring that may have caused a shortage

The new owner took it to MB dealership who put in a new disc and got the same error. They told him they have no idea what's wrong and wanted to sell him a new one for $4500!

Any one have any ideas how to fix this? Does he need to buy a new CD and reset the system somehow?

I know this is an old thread, but no one even mentioned it needs to be a dual layer disk.

Sounds like your navi system had a newer firmware update and when the previous locations were deleted you lost the ability to read the old DVD.

I found this out the hard way. I updated my wife's r500 with the newer DVD from the gl, and put the older navi DVD back in the r. The r navi could only read or navigate to states there were stored in the history. When I put the new navi DVD, it all worked fine! Hope this helps.

members,
I have looked everywhere and cannot find the location of the Nav DVD (player) on my 2009 GL450. Can someone please tell me where it is?

So how do you check to see if you have a pretty up-to-date map software? I want to check just to see.

N_Jay

Press Eject.
It is the top drive behind the screen

RBSBVBMB

The only eject I have os the one for the muti-disk CD changer and the 6 disc there are all music I put in. Again I have a 2009 GL 450 so if anyone can help...Thanks! I plan to call the Dealer tomorrow morning.

Jason B

Wait, the screen folds down? lol. 2012 GL 350.

I went to MB of Tucson this AM and found on my car, the Nav dvd goes in the first slot of the 6 cd multi-cd and it loads the software on a server in the vehicle and then is removed. The load can take up to 90 minutes. Since I can no longer find the nav dvd, I was forced to order another one. Instead of the $250+ from the dealer I ordered via ebay for $180. total. I hope it works. If not, an expensive lesson was learned.
