Do I need a navigation upgrade?

I just obtained a 2018 S560 4matic , I don’t think the prior owners ever used their 3 free upgrades. I’ve been looking for an SD card for such an upgrade but so far I’ve found every other Mercedes model BUT the S class. Does the S560 even use a SD card?
Anyone know where (besides a MB dealer) I can get an upgrade if I need one?

I haven’t had much chance to take “my” photos yet, it’s been raining and cloudy out.
This car has a gray look. I only seen it look Blue the day I took it out for a test drive. Where the dealer parked it under the fluorescent lights in the waiting/delivery area.
The contrasting materials on the interior (the Exclusive Napa leather) and the flowing lines are fantastic. The 3D sound is a must now!

This model has Comand Online NTG5.5 and the new Maps can be downloaded from MB portal on a USB stick, then uploaded to the HDD from the Comand with the help of an Activation code. No Maps SD Card for S-Classe.

Ok, but I don’t excel in technology like you, I don’t have a clue what to do and with my iPhone with this car either.

If you could dumb it down a bit I would greatly appreciate this!

Try like that:

​​​​​Installing Mercedes Maps on your Comand is a must, , not only because no need any phone to be connected or no internet but is really helpful and fancy.
If you become a little more technical, can be very cheap as well.

Dido here too. Ask me to explain a cell mediated response in the human immunity system, or the fundamentals of Physical Chemistry and I’m golden. So far I’ve been living outside the inner understanding of computer technology and have to learn as I go.

Just connect your iPhone to CarPlay or if you have Android then will be Android auto, it is not difficult at all, probably YouTube can also help, just go there type CarPlay or Android auto and it will tell you everything you want to know, good luck !

I would squeeze those kind of info from you, my wife reading me about the wrong cells all day long....

Regarding Navi or Carplay I can help you free of charge. Just decide how do you want to start.

You have Android Auto and Apple car play built into your car. These are so easy to use and the maps either google or waze are always upgraded. Benz did my map upgrade too, I will occasionally use the MB system, I love the large screen (my car is 2016 no Android auto unforunately) but waze makes much better navigation when traffic and accidents need to be taken into account

I keep the MB maps updated but always use Apple or Google Maps. Much easier.

Your link needs login credentials?

All he needs is the MB Comand download program that I already posted here on forum and a very cheap USB

When I cut and paste your link Trigital (https://easyupload.io/q11zg1), I get a page that says "you are not connected to the internet". I really am but ok. What is my disconnect?

Is there a specific USB drive that you place the USB stick into? I'm not there yet but the question lingers in my head.

Thanks.
