GLA 180
Navigation system
Hey
I bought a used MB GLA 180 2017 model right before christmas, i didn't care much about the navigation system back then but lately i been fiddling with it and wanting to get it to work.
When i push the navigation button it says its missing a memory card, when i bought it i never received a memory card for the navigation system and when i call the local MB dealer they want a mindblowing price of 1000$ for a "activation card".
I tried googling it and it seems like it used to be possible to download a download manager from MB before to update maps ? But all links are broken and not working anymore and it seems like every "free option" there was has been removed so they could profit from it instead ?
So my question is... Do i really need to spend a 1000$ for a "activation card" from the local dealer to get my navigation system in the car working ?
If so... is there any alternatives ? is there any other ways to get it working by 3rd party software / hardware ?
Best regards
