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

Follow these simple steps to install the latest 2021 maps on your OEM-Benz NTG 5.5 system:

Before You Begin:

  • Download Maps to USB: If you chose the “Download Maps” option, use the provided link to download the map files and transfer them to a USB drive. If you purchased a USB drive with maps, you can skip this step.
  • Obtain Your Map PIN Code: Ensure you have your Map PIN/license key. Purchase securely online via PayPal if you haven’t received it yet.
  • Allow Sufficient Time: The update process can take approximately 60 minutes. Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel to run for this duration as the engine must remain running throughout the update.

Update Procedure:

  1. Start Your Vehicle and Insert USB: Turn on your Mercedes-Benz and insert the USB drive containing the map update files into the USB port.

  2. Initiate Update: Wait 5-10 seconds for the system to recognize the USB drive and prompt you to begin the update. The prompt will display your current map version and the new update version. Select “Yes” to start the update process.

  3. Enter Map PIN Code: When prompted, enter the Map PIN/License Key that you received from CARDIAGTECH.

  4. Navigation Update Begins: The map update will now commence. This process typically takes 30-60 minutes. Be patient and do not interrupt the update.

Important Reminders During Update:

  • Keep Engine Running: The vehicle must remain running throughout the entire update process to prevent interruptions.
  • Disable System Functions: Avoid using the COMAND system functions while the update is in progress.
  • Do Not Interrupt: Interrupting the update may cause errors or freeze the process.
  • Success Message: Once the update is complete, a success message will appear on the screen. You can then remove the USB drive.
  • Verify New Maps: Confirm the updated map version in your system display to ensure successful installation.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The update doesn’t start after inserting the USB drive.

A: Try these troubleshooting steps:

  • Alternative USB Port: Attempt using a different USB port in your vehicle.
  • Different USB Drive/SD Card: Try a different USB drive or an SD card to rule out media issues.
  • File Format: If you downloaded the map files directly, the format should be correct. If you formatted the USB yourself, ensure it’s compatible with your head unit.

Q: “Incompatible map region” error message.

A: This indicates a region mismatch (e.g., US car, EU map). Region conversion may be necessary, which we can assist with for an additional fee.

Q: “Incorrect PIN code” message.

A:

  • Double-Check PIN: Carefully re-enter the PIN code, ensuring accuracy.
  • Map Version Match: Verify that the map version you are installing matches the version specified when you requested the PIN code.
  • VIN Accuracy: Confirm that the VIN associated with the PIN code request is correct.
  • Non-Refundable Codes: Please note that PIN codes are non-refundable, especially if the request parameters were incorrect. A new PIN code will need to be purchased in such cases.

Please Remember:

  • You are purchasing a single map PIN code for one vehicle update. Map data is sometimes provided as a courtesy and may be freely available from OEM sources.
  • We support COMAND head units only. Audio/Becker Map Pilot updates are not supported.
  • Map PIN codes are non-refundable once generated. They are guaranteed to work if the correct vehicle and map parameters are provided during the order.
