2013 x204 COMAND has Navi button but no Nav
I searched this forum and the Technical forum (and posted question) but as of yet nothing objective.
The head unit has a Navi button but when activated the screen message "Navigation not available" is displayed.
Is enabling Navigation an option (e.g. add the GPS antenna then enabling via engineering mode) or do I replace the head unit? Replacement of the head unit seems seems odd because the button is there, but then again this is a Benz.
I am aware of the Becker plug & play unit, but that thing kinda sucks.

Yeah..I noticed that on mine too.
From what I have read, I think the button is their in case you purchased the Multimedia package (which has Nav), or have the Becker Map Pilot.
From what I have read, after the fact, Beck Map Pilot is the only reasonable GPS add-on that will utilize that button. I think getting the regular GPS is way expense. Could be wrong, but that is what I have seen on the forum.

I reached out to another resource from this Forum, and he is looking into it. He believes the head unit is ready to go, but the dealer literally holds the key. The 12 x204 would have been the last year where you could upgrade.
Sunman's response:
"I'll look into it but I think you have to pay Mercedes to activate that feature and load maps. It's a licensed feature. Mercedes and most manufacturers are moving to a model where all equipment is in car but to activate the feature you have to pay for the license"

Please understand - if you are asking from North America - COMAND has built-in Nav from the factory.
I believe you have Audio 20 - and all 2013 GLK's have a Nav button - but if your GLK does not have Becker pre-wiring installed at the factory - then yes, the Nav button will not do anything - and frankly Becker wiring cannot be installed after-the-fact.
