I did some digging around and was able to find the DLM and download the respective maps onto thumb drives...One for NTG 5.2 and one for NTG 5.5, just so I have them both at the ready.
It would be much appreciated if you could supply me with an Activation Code.
Here is my info:
2016 S550 VIN: WDDUG8CB8GA227245 Region: North America Version: 2015 (V5.1) N. America
The downloader, based on my VIN, shows me having NTG 5.2 but was hoping I have NTG 5.5 (but I'm guessing that the downloader doesn't lie).

Sir, your car is MY2015 and it has NTG5Star2.
Please do not try NTG5.5 maps if your NTG is still the original from factory and you did not retrofited with NTG5.5. NTG5.5 is completly different, you can google how it differ, together with the screens and steering wheel.
I don't think that you want to Update to V5 as the V15 is available and it's the latest.
For your VIN, NTG5Star2 and V15 North America 2021 the free Activation Code is:
GSVZ5R
Have fun!

Here I am following up on my very recent installation/update to my maps...flawless.
@Trigital was key in completing this process.
First...downloading the maps via the Mercedes downloader is probably the most time consuming aspect of this process. Granted, it's extremely straightforward and simple. Probably took about an hour to download.
Second step, installing into the vehicle...super easy. Plug into one of the USB slots in my center console (your location may vary) and the car recognizes the update. The car asks to update and I confirmed. Then the car asks for the activation key that I got from @Trigital and we're off to the races. Probably took 40 minutes start to finish...I just sat in my driveway with the car running and perused the Instagram (top rated time waster). Upon finishing the update, navigation reboots and you're done. Boom!
Now to travel the world and see what's new in the Navigation since my maps had never been updated since 2015.
Hi trigital,
I would greatly appreciate a map activation PIN
It’s for comand 4.5, North America maps, and the current version is 2012/2013 (V8). I’ve already got the newest maps on a USB stick.
Vin: WDDHH8JB3DA754932

You have to confirm the version of your "newest" maps from the USB stick. The system ask for Activation code when you connect the USB?
For me the V20 2019 is the newest North America available and the activation Code for this is:
PTKAMN

Hi guys! I bought Garmin SD card (A2189062404) on Aliexpress and it works perfect. I created an image from the SD card before activating it in my car. It would be interesting to try restore it to another SD card and see if it can be used in another car - this way I could supply everybody with a free navi.
Does somebody have "Speed cameras/POI" db file for Garmin SD card (A2189062404)?? Sth like this.
Hi @trigital I have increased my activity and contribution on the forum recently, most notably in the discussion about W222 ignition coils. I have received a couple badges, added an avatar photo, and have been promoted to Junior Member. I have enjoyed the conversations and plan to continue them.
I would like to request your consideration for the map code again, if you feel like I deserve it. Thank you.

I have 2018 as well. We are the last year that’s not supported by MercedesMe anymore. To get download manager:
On your computer log in to your Mercedes‑me account
Navigate to the “Manage Digital Extras” section of your vehicle dashboard
Select “Update regions manually.” Select “Download the Download Manager.”
Run the downloaded file
Once installed, launch the application—it will manage downloading the map updates directly to your formatted USB drive or SD card
Thank you for your post.
Unfortunately I followed your link and when I click on login they won't allow me and I encounter the same problem when I login to the Canadian MB website, I seriously think its a regional thing and won't allow me.
is there any way around or if someone is kind enough to save the North America file and send it to me?

Do you know which NTG each of your cars has? According to ChatGPT your E43 should be NTG 5.1 in your GLE should be NTG6. Do you know if that is correct?
