Arrow *HELP! Installing North American maps on command NAV

Hi ,
I just retrofitted the command Nav 7" screen on to my class,
and I have European maps installed...
What is the fastest way to install the North America maps..

I read once somewhere that you can download it for free?

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I'm not sure if you can just download the maps since MB makes you pay for them here in the states and load a disc into our systems. You may have to either buy the disk or join a GB in order to get them. If anyone else knows different please let me know.

Not that easy. If you have euro-spec COMAND then it will not recognize a US map update. You will probably need to wipe clean the firmware and get a US-spec firmware installed first, then US Nav.

either get in on a group buy on the other benz site, or buy it online, or ebay, etc....once you have the disc then simply insert it and let it install....

Hey , so I don't need to wipe clean the firmware and get a US-spec firmware installed first?

Thanks for all the help

If you truly have a euro-COMAND it will not recognize the US map update. Totally different software. There are people who have switched their US cars to euro spec and it's not a simple DVD insert.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT "FOR FREE". So 3 weeks ago i download it and burned it into a double layer dvd. everything looked great, no errors no nothing. Then i turn my car on and insert the dvd into slot one. then at 4% install it crashed. At this point there was no longer a NAV SYSTEM, no maps. just this

Can I get a copy from the group buy? Or would I have to wait till everyone ships to the next person...

Thanks

right now there is also the 50 dollar gift card mail in rebate as well.

look i paid 263.00 by buying it at my local dealer and save like 10 bucks on shipping. i sold it for 199.00 but only pocketed 192.00 after paypal charges or what not. Then i'll be getting my 50 dollar mail in rebate of course.
