Step-by-Step Guide to Updating Your Benz Navigation Maps

Updating your OEM Mercedes-Benz navigation system is a straightforward process that most owners can complete without specialized tools or technical expertise. Follow these simple steps to install the latest 2021 maps:

Before You Begin

1. Acquire the Map Database: Ensure you have the 2021 map database on a USB drive. If you chose the “Download Maps” option, use the provided link to download and transfer the files to a USB drive. Alternatively, if you purchased a USB drive with the maps pre-loaded, you can proceed directly to the next steps.
2. Obtain Your Map PIN/License Key: Make sure you have your unique Map PIN/License Key ready. If you haven’t received it yet, you can easily order it online through our secure payment system. This PIN is essential to authorize the map update installation.
3. Allocate Sufficient Time: The update process can take between 30 to 60 minutes. It’s crucial to ensure your vehicle remains running throughout the entire process. Therefore, make sure you have enough fuel and are prepared for this duration where the vehicle should ideally remain stationary.

Update Procedure

1. Start Your Vehicle and Insert USB: Turn on your Mercedes-Benz and insert the USB drive containing the map update into the designated USB port in your vehicle.
2. Initiate the Update: Wait for 5-10 seconds. Your system will automatically detect the update files and prompt you to begin the process. The prompt screen will display your current map version and year alongside the new update version and year. Select “Yes” to start the update.
3. Enter the Map PIN/License Key: When prompted, enter the Map PIN/License Key that you received with your purchase. This key unlocks the map update installation.
4. Map Update Installation: The navigation map update will now commence. This process typically takes 30-60 minutes. Please be patient and do not interrupt the update process.

Important Considerations During the Update

• Vehicle Must Remain Running: It is imperative that your Mercedes-Benz engine remains running for the entire duration of the map update installation. Turning off the vehicle can interrupt the update and potentially cause errors.
• Disable Command System Functions: Avoid using any functions of your Command system while the update is in progress. This ensures that the system resources are fully dedicated to the update process.
• Avoid Interrupting the Update: Do not remove the USB drive or turn off the vehicle’s ignition during the update. Interrupting the process can lead to a frozen update or require restarting the procedure from the beginning.
• Completion Confirmation: Once the update is successfully completed, a success message will be displayed on your screen. At this point, you can safely remove the USB drive.
• Verify the New Map Version: To confirm the update, navigate to your navigation system settings and check the installed map version to ensure it reflects the latest 2021 update.

Frequently Asked Questions about Benz Navigation Updates

• What is an OEM Navigation Update?
  OEM Navigation Updates are official map updates designed for your factory-installed Mercedes-Benz navigation system. These updates, delivered via DVD, USB, or SD Card, provide the most accurate and detailed maps, enriched with points of interest like golf courses, theaters, hotels, parking lots, and much more. Using OEM updates ensures compatibility and optimal performance of your navigation system.

• Why is Updating My Benz Navigation System Important?

  1. Stay Current with Road Changes: The road network is constantly evolving. New roads are built, streets are renamed, and businesses open and close. The latest map updates provide critical, up-to-date information that saves you time and fuel by ensuring efficient routing.
  2. Find Addresses Accurately: Outdated maps often struggle to locate new addresses, even for established infrastructure. The 2021 update resolves these issues, ensuring you can find your destination with precision.
  3. Enhanced Efficiency and Convenience: Latest navigation updates improve routing algorithms, potentially saving fuel and reducing travel time. Furthermore, an integrated OEM system offers superior convenience and reliability compared to relying on external devices like smartphones or aftermarket GPS units.

• Do I Need a License Key for My Mercedes-Benz Navigation Update?
  For Mercedes-Benz vehicles manufactured from 2012 onwards, a License Key (PIN code) is required to authorize navigation system updates. This security measure protects the OEM navigation system and ensures proper software licensing.

• Troubleshooting Common Update Issues

  • Q: The update doesn’t start after inserting the USB.
    A: First, try a different USB port in your vehicle. If the issue persists, try using a different USB drive or an SD card. Also, double-check that the USB drive is correctly formatted for your head unit and that the map files are correctly placed on the drive.

  • Q: I receive an “Incompatible Region” error.
    A: This error indicates a region mismatch. For example, you might be trying to install a European map on a US-specification vehicle. A region conversion service is necessary in such cases. We can assist with region conversions for a service fee.

  • Q: The PIN code is rejected as incorrect.
    A: Carefully re-enter the PIN code, ensuring accuracy. Verify that the map version you are installing matches the version specified when you requested the PIN code. Also, confirm that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) used for PIN generation is correct. Please note that PIN codes are non-refundable, and generating a new code is necessary if the initial request parameters were incorrect.

Important Note:

Our service primarily focuses on providing the Map PIN generation to facilitate your navigation update. While we can provide access to map files that are generally available from OEM sources free of charge, comprehensive support for map files and installation processes is not typically included in the base price. However, should you require in-depth support with file acquisition or installation assistance, we can offer this as a paid service. The standard price covers the generation of the essential Map PIN code, enabling you to update your Mercedes-Benz navigation system efficiently and affordably.
