I have profile on Mercedes Me and my car/VIN paired with it, but I'm getting an error like this guy.

I managed to find Download Manager SD Card v1.0.4 installer on aclassclub forum and upgraded my card from SW V5.0 / MAP 2015-V5.0 to SW V14.0 / MAP 2021-V16.0. First question here is, why it wasn't updated to MAP 2023-V19.0???? After the MAP update I'm getting "cannot unlock maps" message on my vehicle and I've found people with same issue - 1 and 2.

Can somebody tell me what is the difference and which is actually the latest version - Download Manager (DLM) 3.0.12 OR Download Manager SD Card 1.0.4????

That SD card is for the entry level Garmin MAP PILOT for vehicles that don't have the full COMAND system. The download manager that @Eaton pointed to is for the newer vehicles with COMAND NTG 5.5 or MBUX that have online map update and OTA capabilities. Does not apply to older COMAND systems and to update the COMAND maps you need a different SD card and a license key to update the maps. There are some online third-party sources I believe like BenzNinja that sell map updates with license key.

So, the question is which navigation system do you have? The full COMAND navigation system or the entry level SD Garmin MAP PILOT? If you have the latter, then you need to buy a new SD card with the latest maps. You can get that through your parts department. They are also sold online, but seems like it's difficult to find the correct one. Your dealership's parts department can get you the right one for your VIN. Once used it is also locked to the VIN, so be careful buying or downloading one online as it may have already been used and is therefore locked to a specific VIN.

Ah good ol' Audio 20. Yeah, you have the very basic entry level system. Not much experience with Audio 20 around here. Most members are US based and we get COMAND standard mostly, so few if any have Audio 20. I honestly don't know what's required (I've never used Audio 20), but you likely can't just download something. MB licenses the maps, so you can't just download them for free and expect them to work. Other than finding somebody with Audio 20 that has experience with this, I'd suggest you go through official MB channels.

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.


Thank you!!!

Hi Pingo,

I'm a new member here. I recently bought a 2019 C160 and am looking to update the nav. Would you still happen to have the image of that SD card, I'm a willing test subject to see if it works in another car

Thank you in advance,
Wim

I have a US imported EQS SUV here in Dubai and I am struggling to download GCC/UAE maps via Mercedes ME portal. Mercedes are not being very helpful as I didnt buy the car from them. Thus, is there a way you can help/advise on for me to download the GCC maps on USB stick and I can then manually upload them to my car?

Contact @EleBest for help with this. He posts about map updates on his Facebook quite frequently, so I think it's his favorite thing to do for people.

Thanks for the link- it worked and I have not got the maps downloaded to USB. However, when I try to update the maps in the car its asking for a license key! Now where do I get that- does anyone have a universal license key to activate maps or do I have to ask Mercedes (they refused to help in the first place as my car is an imported car!)

Appreciate the support folks!

Imported cars from different regions has the online services blocked to initial registered region.

There is no universal key ( or at least is not available for any users or dealership...).

Every Activation code is VIN/Map version/Region dependent.

For your model, I would ask Elebest for further instructions if MB Dubai has little experience for ordering the code accordingly.
