Hi I bought a 2017 c250d in Australia, the map version is from 2017
how do I go about updating this manually?
I tried via mercedes me and it said my car is not eligible or something and threw up bunch of errors

I dont want to pay the dealership

You could purchase the map USB or the disc from a third party site and upgrade that way or you could buy this from official MB Australia site: https://accessories.mercedes-benz.co...on-A2139068507

This is just an example, you need to make sure this disc actually works for your vehicle. This particular one might not work.

MB latest Map for prefl w205 is 2021 as I remember so maybe not worthy.

You can download by yourself from MB the latest maps and you can ask here for the activation code.

Sorry, I forgot to posts the link for Map Downloader

And for the Activation if you successfully make the the USB and your unit will ask code, I can try sending for free.

Interesting, thought you had to use a Mercedes me account with an active subscription to use programs like these.

trigital

The Downloader is free from long time

Geminigpt

ok I have downlaoded and made the usb

can you please send me the activation code?

trigital

Just sent it on PM

Geminigpt

I made the usb per the program and followed it perfectly

however when i am putting the usb into the centre console nothing is happening, im not gettign a prompt to update

trigital

​ That's can't be related with the Activation code...

Can you use another USB2.0 with file system NTFS and try again, there are a lot of YouTube about that

Geminigpt

I pulled my current sd card it has : A2139060104
SD Card Garmin MAP pilot
V4.1 Map 4.0
010-12267-28

not sur eif that gives clues to which one i should be using

I currently made a usb with NTFS NTG5*2 A0080079099

My fault, sorry! Your car doesn't have Comand so no Map can be uploaded. You can buy a new SD Card from AliExpress for your Radio.

Time zone difference, I was not paying attention although I already asked you to tell if the Head Unit ask for code.

You can easily retrofit Comand Online with the bigger display and you can use the code I sent or you can retrofit the Radio from w205 2018 that's compatible with Carplay and keep the small display

Geminigpt

when you say radio, is that the whole center unit or specifically the radio unit?
I can see some people have old accident and dismantling c43/63 etc can I pull from them?

trigital

Behind the console under the display you can find the Head unit module.

Yes, you can use a Used Head Unit, display, USB panel, wiring harness, etc.

Ah I see, didn't know the downloader is free.

Does that mean OP has audio 20 instead of COMAND?

trigital

Yes it has Radio Audio 20 SA 522

W205C43PFL

I see, thank you for the confirmation. At this point (whatever is cheaper) I wonder if OP should just get a smartphone integration adapter (not sure if it works with audio 20) and use android auto or carplay with Google Maps and Waze for free live traffic and maps.

trigital

The Carplay adaptor on A20 can be installed, but the Audio will be very bad as A20 can't be coded to enable the Audio Aux input, so an USB dongle needs to be added together with noisy sound.

W205C43PFL

I see, I guess as long as it work for navigation which is probably what OP is needs right now and not music playing or any other functions of smartphone integration.
