I've loaded several CD's (bought not burnt) to the HDD and Gracenote's has only recognized 1 in 6 CD's. Anybody know how to update the database?

The only way you can update the Gracenote Database is when the Nav data disk is updated at the MB dealership.

Spoke to the dealership expert today. He tells me that very few purchased cd's contain the required information to identify artists/titles or tracks. The only way to ensure proper labelling is to save to the player of your choice (iTunes) get the proper cd info, then burn it to a cd with the new artist/title/track data.
Does this make sense?

I think your dealer is full of "you know what". Ask them to update Gracenote. With Lexus, you can get it updated for free every 3 months. I'm not sure if MB dealers charge for it. Personally, I have not come across many CD's purchased w/in last 2 -3 years, that did not have Gracenote info about them. Regardless, Lexus or MB, it's a Gracenote DB, and yours is probably outdated.

If you burn (create) an audio disk (not an MP3) with all the relevant information stored on the disk you will not need the Gracenote function.

Every piece of information such as Artist, Title etc is carried over.
