Hi guys, I am using the Becker Map Pilot one year and some months ago I purchased the danger spot function. My feeling about how danger spot function works is really bad. The warning level is weak (similar to the phone noise when we receive an e-mail), do not give sign if overspeed, do...

Hi guys just about to purchase my becker and was wondering if anyone had one for sale but only 8gb model. I know longshot but you never know. Thanks

Hi I had some new ContiSportContact 3's fitted to my CLK rear wheels about a year ago, I have covered around 13,000 miles on them and they only have 3MM left so need changing again soon. I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience of the Continental ContiSportContact 5 or the Michelin...

Yes free. I'm having new tyres fitted to my 19" wheels tomorrow (downsizing to 275 19" E Class fitment). Two Michelin Pilot Sports 285/30/19 will be taken off. They are legal and above the wear indicators (though not by much) but I don't know anything about them - they were on the wheels I...

Hi everyone I was trying to find a review of the current Command System in the W204 and the Becker Map Pilot but not had much hope with either really. I had use of an AMG Sport Saloon for the last 4 days and was the 1st time I have used command as previously coming from BMW Idrive. One of my...

Anyone else's Map Pilot decide it wants to change from miles to km randomly?

Hi all, has anyone bought a Becker Map Pilot recently from Germany or Poland? Mrs A would like one for the new motor, however, the reason I ask, I have been informed that a quantity of Becker units were stolen and when you log in to Becker, they basically kill the unit. I don't know if this is...

Mrs D got the wrong end of the stick when I said some members of MBClub refer to 63 AMGs as "hire cars". She thinks this must be the highest of all the AMGs!! ;) So for now at least we have two silver AMGs, and two silver MLs. :thumb: We were super close to pulling the trigger on a...

Hi, Does anyone know whether the Nav 50 in a W212 can be converted to use the Becker Map Pilot as used in post 2011 E class?

Thought this query would benefit from its own thread as it may get asked a few times. I'm currently scrambling around for a sensible upgrade path for navigation on a standard e class coupe MY12. Because my car came from stock it's build date was prior to the June move to pre-wiring for...

Becker Map Pilot Safety Cameras :) Have you noticed that it is available on the shop the safety camera function?:thumb: In the last day it has appear the option to buy the package "Danger Spots Europe" at 24.95€ with the following description: It is also included two images in which it...

Just about to place an order for an E-Class Estate 250CDi Sport Auto and need some advice on when the pre-wiring for the Becker Map Pilot was introduced to the E-Class estate. The car is coming via a personal lease (quite a few great deals around) but I want to be 100% sure the pre-wiring is...

Hi Am I the only one that gets truncated guidance messages? For example ''turn left onto the A FTwenty'' rather than A Fourtwenty. Abdon rather than Abingdon. It occurs mainly with numbers but occasionally with town names. This has been the case for me in all issues of software. I have raised...

Hi, I'm after a full set of tyres and have been looking in Costco 255/35/18 x2 and 225/40/18 x2 they sell Michelin pilot sport 3 total £661. Apparantly they do 20% off twice a year does anyone know when this is as I have a couple of mm or so to go so can wait thus taking them down to £531...

Hello everybody!:) I am new in the forum and I would like to ask about your experience using the Map Pilot TMC functions. I live in Spain and (probably because in Spain we do not have TMC-Premium) I did not loose TMC when I upgraded to SW 2.0. I mean, I always have been able to seen the...

I have replaced both front tyres on my car due to one having an egg in the sidewall so have one part-worn spare. The tread is 4-5mm accross the tread but I will say 4mm to be on the safe side. There is a bit more wear to one edge (see photos). No sidewall damage nor puncture repairs. These...

Hi to all, Just received my shiny new car today - enjoying it already, but a little bit confused over the Audio 20 and specification from the brochure. My car is a lease hire, through Mercedes contract. In advance of the car, I purchased a Becker Map Pilot - ready to plug into the...

Anyone know of price in new Becker Map Pilot for CD1 220 W204 Saloon and where to buy in UK:)

Just downloading the update at the moment. It looks like a major release from 1.5 to 2.0 so I am hopping for some nice new features and maybe getting some of the irritating issues like music fading or random freezes sorted out. There are some new maps available for download (Q4 2011) but...

Hi All, possibly a strange question. I have 1 Map Pilot device but have on loan a car from the dealer whilst mine is being prepped. Can I use the device in the loan vehicle for now and then transfer it to my new car once it is ready or does the device become locked to the first car it is...
