2013 c300 Sport
I have the 2013 C300 Sport. It has the Becker Map Pilot Navigation System. I had the same issue trying to determine if it actually had Navigation as when I test drove the car and pressed the NAV button, the readout stated no Navigation Present. If it has the NAV button present it is pre-wired for the Becker system. The Becker Nav Pilot is a module that you plug into the housing which is located in the glove box. The kicker in the whole process was that the Becker module was an extra $600 and the salesperson "threw it in" to seal the deal.

Here is the link to the Nav System

I wouldn't say it sucks. It is better than not having a nav system. I have the map pilot and it works as well as my garmin. It works right out of the box and is fully integrated. It is NOT a Comand system however. It does not have voice control, etc.
The biggest complaint I have is the lack of, or infrequent updates.

The dealer wants $600, but I got mine on ebay for less than half of that (new in box).
