Navigation Maps (Europe)

Navigation Maps (Europe)
My W212 is American Spec which means that I have the North American maps loaded on my navigation system. The problem is I live in Europe (Germany) which makes the navigation useless here. When I ordered the car, the dealer told me that Mercedes was working the issue and would have a solution “soon.” Well, that was back in September of 2009 and I am tired of waiting.
I have been told that the fix is easy… All they need to do is get a DVD with the European maps on it and upload it to the COMMAND system. However, they are dragging their feet on this issue (reason unknown) and I get little or no response for my dealer.
So, I am reaching out to my European friends to see if anyone knows where I can get my hands on the DVD that has the maps for Europe on it. I have been told that there is a specific DVD for the W212 because they have tried the DVD for the C-class and it did not work.
I would be more than happy to send back to the provider after I have uploaded the maps.
Any advice will be helpful. You can post replies here, or send me a message directly.
Thanks!

ipp - No, it is a hard drive for the navigation... No discs. This would have made it easier for us to swap out a disc for each region, but apparently there is faster speed when the maps are on a hard drive.
I think I will need to find a European dealer on this forum who could help... Or if anyone has a good relationship with their dealers, maybe they could see if they could get their hands on one.
Thanks.
