Navigation Update DVD worth it?
Mercedes-Benz has just issued a new DVD for the North America navigation system in the 2008 Class-C cars.
Part Number is Q646 0238 and I'd like to hear from people who have installed it to determine if it's worth the cost to upgrade after just one year.
Can I find a "used" DVD somewhere?
Thanks.
Pierre

Is this cheaper than the dealership?

Also heard that you can get them from Nagteq

If you are not driving around in new subdivisions, or your work doesn't require extensive driving, maybe wait for a year or two.

Released March 2008. I'll wait for March 2009.
Navteq says it was released in March 2008. Since we're in September, maybe I should wait a few months for the March 2009 release.

If anyone is interested in the update, I have it for sale on ebay for a hell of a lot cheaper than buying brand new

I think I got the Nav update from the Dealer for free !
Is there any difference that stands out in the new Navigation update?
MB Service did a complete download to my Multi Media to fix an echoing problem that I had with my phone and shop foreman told me the download updated the Nav too. So far I noticed some minor differences with icons and I think there is new feature called "Audio Fadeout". My car is 2008.

The Audio Fade is definitely a new upgrade that comes along with the MB service update download. I didn't have the feature before, now the system momentarily lowers the music while giving directions. Previously I could hardly hear the navigation when I had the music at a higher level. Also, now when you go to setup the nav Personal Symbols the icons are now more defined and in color.
