New NAV DVD for 2004 S
NTG1 v.6.0
Navteq website shows this as the most current DVD. Anyone know when this was released? I don't want to order it if another one is coming out soon.

The bad news is that it doesn't work right in the late-model W220 COMAND. There's a bug in the firmware that apparently gets confused by carpool lane information on the new DVD. It will not include any highway with a carpool lane in a route. It's pretty useless. MB has admitted the problem and say they're working on a fix. You can try it in your car, but be sure to buy it from MB so you can return it if you get the same behavior.

The latest one is 2007.1 p/n Q-6-46-0229 at MB. It was released in July. The good news is they dropped the price at the dealership to $199, so there's no reason to buy it directly form Navteq.
