Guys, wtf is up here.

So I have the 1/2005 CD in there, I buy a version 9 OEM DVD with the part number ending in 26 65. I also bought the 211 589 whatever "tool" disk for the firmware update.

So, I pop in the 09 CD, and i get the no navigation disk installed screen.

Ah HA, I have an answer for this, the tool disk. I insert that, it updates the software and goes back to the basic screen. great.

Then I insert the 09 disk again, and it doesn't do much for a while. I come back a few minutes later, and it says "wrong version of NAV DVD installed in NAV drive".

Well WTF kids. The disk is OEM, not a copy, and it states on the disk that its for 04-06my S-class.

So after all this, I'm stuck here and have no clue what to do.

any help would be great guys.

thanks.

I purchased my '05 S55 a couple months ago with the original 2005 version Nav DVD. Nav sysytem worked fine. Went to the dealer and purchased the latest 2011 version which is MB p/n: Q-6-46-0262 so I would have the latest maps. No 'tool' disk was involved; just the latest Nav DVD. Works great with no problem and no firmware update. No idea about a 'tool' disk. FWIW
Cheers,

well, a happy update.

Oddly I got frustrated right before making this post and just left the v9 disk in there and went out for a while. I was on my way home, and for the hell of it, hit the nav button, and low and behold, it works.

Not sure how that worked, but I tried it and it seems to work fine now.

Thanks for letting us know. Guess we know that we can go from the '05 DVD directly to the Version 9 (2010-2011 DVD) directly in our W220s. That will help when I upgrade my '08 DVD to '11-12 as soon as major construction in my area has been posted.

well, maybe...maybe not.

I did use the 211 589 tool disk for the "nav not available" error. Who knows whether that fixed anything.
