Do you have to subscribe to the navigation service and pay a fee or does it automatically work once you place the CD into your COMAND console?

The CDs would have an up front cost associated with them but are provided free with the new car and are free to use once you have them. I'm not sure about updated CDs. I received one in the mail without solicitaion or cost.

I read someplace that some non-MB CDs work and are cheaper to buy.

There are no fees other than the purchase price. The cd-rom's are the same as those used by the Blaupunkt DX-N nav unit.

Free after intial purchase!

It doesn't cost anything to run.

The car has a global positioning system (GPS) that calculates your position on the globe (latitude and longitude). The CD-ROM disc has a map of your geographic area, along with info on gas stations, street names, etc.
