2013 Mercedes Benz GLK250 Bluetec
Post Navi or computer update

Hello, I am curious if there is anything available to update the User interface for the GLK. I have a 2013 Bluetec model
Also, Updating the Navi, does anyone have any good links to download the most up to date version for free or a small fee?

I do not want to pay the $250 from MB for a map update.

Any tips are welcome....THANK you!

Do you have the plug in module in the glovebox. When I got my used 2013 Glk it didn't have the Becker map module. I bought one off eBay and updated it for free, at the Becker site. You plug your module into your computer and download the update.

Subscribed - I'm interested in this too. My wife and I often use her GLK for longer road trips and keeping the Nav system up to date would be great.

Check site gpsunderground.com, I already updated my Comand NTG4 in my GLK 2010 3times...I downloaded DVD files from this site, burned it on DVDs and updated comand...but, be carefull, read at first forum, check what system do you have and when you finally get to the updating, put your car battery on the charger, map update via DVDs takes more than 2 hours...

You can go here and see if you can purchase a DVD. I have a 2014 GLK250 and unfortunately the DVD route is no longer an option. I think its done via the SD Card, but my stealer wants around $400 Canadian to update the NAV (no Becker here). Any suggestions for me would be welcomed

That's good info. Thanks.
I see that MB USA offers complimentary updates for 2015 model year vehicles. Nice. Too bad MB Canada isn't onboard too.


2015 Mercedes-Benz Vehicles Equipped With The COMAND Navigation System Come With Three Years Of Complimentary Map Updates.

Drivers who purchase a 2015 Mercedes-Benz vehicle with the COMAND navigation system receive three years of complimentary map updates valued at nearly $750. Mercedes-Benz will inform owners when a new update is available* and owners can bring their vehicles into a Mercedes-Benz dealership where the update will be handled by professionally-trained technicians. This is the perfect combination of performance, convenience, and premium customer service.

Updating your Mercedes-Benz navigation system map is an essential part of maximizing the system's benefits and performance. Map updates ensure that the changing world outside is accurately reflected in your navigation system, making it much easier to reach your destination.

Visit your local Mercedes-Benz dealer to learn more about the COMAND navigation system and the Multi-Year Update Program.

*Map update timing will vary according to when the vehicle is purchased and when the map data is loaded. MBUSA will reach out to Multi-Year Update Program customers when a map update is available for their vehicle.

Updating my navigation as I type this, it's been about 20-25 minutes for 25%, so the car definitely needs to be running or on a battery tender like I am doing.

Still stuck at 99%, error saying disc 2 can not complete update. Two conclusion I came up with is disc 2 is messed up ( it did add am additional 1%, going from 98 to 99) or going from 2010 version to 2017 version is too big of a jimp. Anyone else have additional info?. I have a new set of disc coming but is a few days out.

As I suspected, the original seller sent me a corrupt disc 2, I bought a new set from another seller with express shipping and disc 2 updated no problem.

the good disc is from mapman60

bad disc from charlesncharge0

I dont blame the seller for the bad disc, he did try to help but refuse to say it was a bad disc until i prove his disc was corrupt and the new disc from another seller worked. All these disc are the same, they acutally ripped it from the link above and sell it on ebay, so if you know how to burn DVD-R and have dual layers disc then you should be good, I dont have those discs and have never copied a DVD so I just bought one instead.
