The ML W163 MCS discs are specific to the ML. The newer W164 discs are shared with GL, R class.

I have a NE CD and some DVDs 2002 and 2005 versions. If you have a factory NAV, it should be DVD based, not CD. One DVD covers the North America. PM me if interested in buying a disc from me.

I have a complete set of 10 CD based Navigation disks for the ML.

They came with my 2002 ML55 AMG.

PM me and I'll work something out with you.

They are not available from dealerships anymore. They want you to upgrade the MCS to a DVD based system for a few grand.

The ML MCS is CD based until 2003, when it was switched to DVD.

The 2007 CD versions are available from MB...only thing is they stopped selling individual region CDs...they want you to buy the whole set for $250, instead of the $150 that would buy you the CD for the region you wanted.

I am looking for someone to share the $250 cost for the upgraded 2007 version..if anyone from regions besides 'region 1' (CA & NV) are interested in sharing the cost, PM me..

Not sure this helps, but my 2003 ML500 has the DVD based navigation, and I recently bought the new 2007 DVD from navteq.com.
