pilot

Hi guys just bought a class and am after becker map pilot does anybody have a reliable source where i can get one from ? I know there on ebay for about 350 just wondered if anybody had used any of these people on ebay Thanks Lee

Some will have seen that I've just done a transmission fluid change on my 722.6 gearbox. Intending to change the pilot bushing to avoid the 'gearbox loom and ECU full of oil' problem, I undid the 7mm centre bolt, but could not get the old bushing out, so left well alone. (I didn't want to use...

Since I'm under the thing doing the transmission fluid change, I might as well change the pilot bushing as a precaution. Is it the outer O-ring that causes the leakage problem, and does anyone know if there is a tightening torque setting for the little securing bolt in the centre? E55BOF

Hi, New member here and hoping someone has an answer to my query. I have a Becker Map Pilot Nav system in my new B Class which worked perfectly on the journey home from the dealership who programmed the system with my home address. I have now loaded all of my other destination address's and...

The Becker map pilot is being offered for 99 euros for a two year subscription at the moment. Dunno what that is in proper english money, yet, but it is definitely cheaper. The offer lasts until 12th August. BTW I have improved MY map pilot by turning off the opportunity for the thing to...

Hi, recently updated my Map Pilot (in W212 Estate) to software version 2.5.26 (Maps 2011Q2) Since doing this, the zoom in and out when using centre control button(Not Autozoom) jumps from 50yds, 100 yds, 0.1Mile, 0.3Mile etc. It use to be a nice gradual zoom in and out, ie spin the button and...

As the title......... 1. Is the scale of the map determined to any extent by road speed? I prefer to have it on large scale- say 0.1 mile, but after a few seconds it goes out to 1.6, or even 2.5 miles. Can I alter this? 2. What is the symbol in the bottom right corner of the screen...

Hey everyone, I have a Becker Map Pilot in my C250 and it works fine but my only gripe is that when the Sat Nav gives instructions it is just too quiet. This is both with music on and music off. When it is off it is quiet and when music is on it does fade out but I still can't hear the sat...

Hey everyone, I got a Becker Map Pilot today and have a couple of questions: 1. I think it has 4GB on board but can I put an SD card in it to increase the amount of storage so I could fit all the maps and software on at once rather than just choosing some. 2. I signed up and registered and...

Hi. I seem to have bent the pins whilst trying to fit a new pilot bush on my faithful W202 I was working of a jack and axle stands hence the bloody bent pins,(couldn't see properly) I have taken a photo and noticed between points 2 & 6 there looks like a pin has sheeted of, Before I get the pins...

Hi I had a nasty leek coming from the pilot bush on my W202. I bought a replacement and am having difficultly fitting it I know it should be a 30 minute job,,,! The new pilot bush does not seem to go in the recess all the way, I have even tried to fit the old one but am having the same issue, I...

Just had a problem with the Map Pilot. It was the only extra I ordered with my C220, which has now done the grand total of 567 miles in the 3 weeks I've had it. So it's not worn out.......... So today, when I tried to set a destination, the Satnav screen was completely frozen on the menu...

I don't use the Sat Nav that often however, when I do come to use it, it always seems to be frozen. The only solution is to unplug it and plug it back in again. Anyone else have this issue? I'm on the latest software from Becker.

Hi all, Yes I'm new to this forum, for a couple of reasons a, just bought myself my first Mercedes and its incredible and b, a Becker Map Pilot purchase... So I need your help, I've searched for answers on this but to no avail... My Map Pilot is fully functional in English and works like a...

Just collected my new A class today, fitted with the Becker Map Pilot System. "When you get it home, connect the unit to your PC to check for updates", said the dealer. Several frustrating hours later, I still cannot get the PC to read the Becker Unit. I can see the unit in Windows...

I've recently swapped company cars , the previous C220 had the full comand sat nav the replacement has the Becker pilot module with Audio 20 . When I push the voice activation button on the steering wheel the PTT function pops up on the Becker Pilot every time is this correct ? ie can I not...

I have a new Map Pilot with all the latest updates and upgrades but I am unable to get any sense out of the voice control. It does not understand anything I say and come up with gibberish on the screen. The product works fine manually . Is it me or is the voice control rubbish from the start...

Just ordered a new C Class Coupe C220 Executive SE. I was think of getting factory installed Sat Nav until I realised that the car comes pre wired and you can buy units brand new off eBay for half the cost of getting one from the dealer. Anyhow, with little experience of the Becker navigation...

Hello guys, As forecasted, I just noticed on the web (without any advise from Becker) that finally Becker launched a new SW update (now 2.5)...

I've read a few posts from owners that have the Becker Map Pilot satnav. There's doesn't seem to be much love for it. I already have a decent TomTom system. So my question is simply: for the integration that's offered with the Becker system, is it really worth the £200-250 it would cost me...
