I have a 2013 GLK 250, I have the Multimedia package. I can't figure out what version of the NAV system I have and Navteq doesn't show any information for the 2013 glk. My maps are V.8 and I would like to see if there are any updates.

I'm hoping the nav/search options are improved so if I am Seattle and look for a Starbucks it doesn't come up with one in North Carolina.

-thanks

The latest from navigation.com is version 13.0.

can you update the map from the DVD yourself ?
My MB dealer want the car for 2hr30 to do it ...

Yes you can. If you have the DVD you just put it in the CD slot and you will see instructions on screen. I did it myself when I updated mine and yes it takes 2 hours or so.

Is the 2012 the same nav unit as the 2013, the link goes to 2012 and when you select 2013 it shows no products found/

The one that I bought 2 years ago was version 2012.2 V 10.0. It was 1 disc and it worked for '11 C Class 10'-12' GLK and 11'-12' SLS AMG. I don't think the head unit has changed. Best bet is to ask your MB dealer. I know that there is no difference in price from the internet vs. MB.

The latest disk that I have seen here on the forum says it is V 13.0 for 2014 but it says the disk is for the same years mentioned above.

I just updated with 13.0 and it does take several hours and the car has to be "on" but the engine doesn't need to be running. A couple hours left in the "run" position is pretty hard on the battery. Another poster recommended connecting a battery charger to the battery for the entire time. I did this and it seemed to go just fine. You have to remove all the CD's if you have this - and any inserted. You then put in the new disk and it starts working at its glacial pace.

Check with your dealer just to be sure.
I am pretty sure the command unit for 2013 is different with 2010-2012 MY.
