Map update

Hi all
When I purchased my car 2 months ago it was agreed that they would update the satnav to the latest one but now they are saying that version 17 is not available yet, but I know it is and I showed them with a Google search so they agreed that if I purchased the map they would supply PIN Code FOC so I contacted Comand online to find the correct update,now the dealer is saying there PIN Code will not activate the genuine map update what a load of crap.
I don't have a problem buying and updating myself but I is the principle of the thing

Not sure if this helps but . . .

I bought my 2012 C350 in July 2017 as a CPO. Obviously I’m on a mailing list, I get weekly offers of dealer installed tires, oil changes, 20 % off this or that etc etc.

However in November I got a offer for a FREE SatNav update for NTB 4.5. (Offer expires Jan 31, 2019. The email had a Program Code and a Pin.

i made an appointment this week and 1 1/2 days later (yes I got a free loaner) my system was updated to the most current map version dated 2019. Nothing out of pocket. You should try and figure out how you can get this deal.

I also get similar deals for wife’s 2010 CPO E350 SatNav System, but nothing as good as this. Usually it’s only &50 off regular price.

Good Luck

Sorry for the late reply . . . Glad to hear you got the update. The map version that they installed on my car was 2019 V19.0

I’m good for a couple of years

RNajarian - How did you get a free upgrade? My dealer sent out a coupon to do the upgrade for $99 which I decided to decline. My maps are still late 2012 edition and lots of the POIs are wrong.

Free update

My update I did myself for free, as long as you have a copy of the current update (most can be downloaded from the internet if you haven't got it)
If anyone interested just do a Google search for mercedes map update without FSC code.

I did a quick search and found nothing. And what's to say that free hasn't been hacked or woun't contain a virus that causes my car not to run?

The map I updated was a genuine download from Mercedes download manager and if you do a search for updating map without FSC code it comes up.

I downloaded the Mercedes-Benz Download Manager SD Card Navigation and installed it. when it opens, it gives me java errors and closes. what else can I do. I updated the java run time on my windows PC. I tried the program at home and it's prompting me for a login without giving me a place to register. What gives?

Because you have to go to a dealership to install the update through their xentry computer
