Navigation update won't load
A friend has a 2003 S500 that he has bought update navigation CD's (dated 1/07) on EBAY. They look original but when inserted into the comand unit, the unit does not recognize them. Is there a software update that needs to be done before using the latest update cds? Has anyone had this problem and been able to solve it? Thanks for your responses.

The CDs have the correct part no. - bq 6 46 0222 which from what i have been able to research on this and other sites is the correct part no for the 1/07 update for a 2003 S class. Early 2000 S classes would use a different part no. but late 2000 thru 2003 should be the same. Anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks

sounds like unauthorized copies to me. Return them and get your money back, or threaten the seller to go to court.
How much cheaper were the CD's, compared to the MB dealer's price?
