Alternatively swap the navi drive to a new one or send the old one for service. It may be possible get the DVD out with force but it may not work with a genuine DVD either after that.

But MB actually has bulletins warning about copy discs, not because of the lower reflectivity that may not be sufficient for the (possibly intentionally) crappy DVD drive in the navi processor but because of the thickness differences and sometimes bad labels on the DVDs. This could be a mechanical issue from the copy DVD. Of course more likely that the navi processor DVD drive just started misbehaving.

I'm using a copy to and have the original in the box. I'm not using any original DVDs/CDs in my car. It's always hot here and I don't wanna have them damaged through excessive heat and never had an issue with burned ones in the nav processor, CDC or single slot.
But I'm not saying you are wrong either. Just my personal experience.

NAV DVD problem
I agree with Mackhack.
I have used a duplicate DVD forever. Never had a problem. I live in South Florida with the average year round temp of 90+ and the in the car temp of 104+ while sitting in the sun.
Glad it was only an inexpensive bad fuse.

2004 S600 (V220.176)
For all who find this thread in the future I was pondering the upgrade issues for a long time and then just gave it a try.
I have a 2004 W220 with NTG1 DVD NAV in the trunk. Inserted in the DVD drive was an original DVD, version 4.1. I ejected that DVD and inserted (running engine) a copy of the V10.0 DVD. The software installed straight away. No fuss, no upgrading of the DVD drive. I was worried that the DVD would not be read due to the big jump from V4 to V10
Also, I do not have the latest HU patch as I do not see ETA on the screen. where can I get that patch from? Can someone send COMAND update (w211589142200) for my W220 DVD in trunk Comand 2.0?

One only needs the special tools CD if you skip too many map updates done via the actual map DVD. The map DVDs have navigation processor firmware updates on them. If the gap is too big lets say from a 2005/2006 map DVD to a 2009/2010 map DVD then your firmware within the navigation processor cannot be updated the regular way and you need to use that CD to fill this gap. What the CD exactly does, I don't know but it works. I used the CD a few times in peoples cars after I installed a navigation system. It just works.

In need of e 500 disc
Just purchased a 2005 e500. Missing navi. Disc. Dealer is asking 375.00 for a disc. There must be something less expensive. Can anyone assist me??
QUOTE=glojo;2595634]I am not judging anyone here but it would appear someone has tried to obtain a copy of this DVD from the Internet and it hasn't worked? Could this 'pirate' copy have damaged this COMAND? Would buying a kosher copy actually resolve the issue?
I keep all my original DVD's in the house and have the copy in the car, this has never been a problem and I have never had difficulty using the copy.
Good luck getting this issue resolved

1. Buy from the dealer
2. Buy from ebay or similar
3. Team up with others to explore joint purchasing
4. Find a copy on the internet. This is very difficult as the volumes are huge (4 GB) and you do not get any help; in fact this is illegal. Creating an ISO image from multiple RAR containing other RARs (obtained via multiple Torrents) is not for amateurs and takes several days. Do not expect anything like "click here to download the DVD"
Also, do not expect anyone here to send you a disk; you need to create your own network. Try option 2 above
DVD copies do work if created properly, but reading speeds can be slow. This means that when you press the direction keys to move the map in any particular direction on the screen (eg. see the end of the blue route) you will get very frustrated indeed!

Your question is common and there are a few answers once you know exactly what version you need.

Click on download torrent. You need software like BitTorrent to download. I just try the link, and it say that download time is around 3 hr. Burn image, I used Nero, works just fine. Insert in DVD nav unit and turn Comand on, but not the car, should start updating.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4019...on_Service_DVD this is the Service update dvd if yiu need it. Read the description.
Can't find Comand update that allows ETA, but is v46.06 for SW.

I tried both DVD-R and DVD+R in my NTG1 and they are roughly equivalent. If at all, I feel the DVD-R is slightly faster regarding speed of reading. You feel this additional speed when moving around a map with the directional (arrows) buttons. This requires fast reading cycles.
I have the impression that the NAV system buffers the adjoining pages (the pages/blocks on all sides of the map; those that are not shown at the moment).

By the way, after a trial of the new DVD version I can no longer use my previous DVD. The NAV system asks me to insert the correct DVD and does not like the original DVD.
Does anyone know how I can revert back to a previous software/Map version?
Current: V10; Previous: V4.1
