Got myself a 2019 E200 SE and it got the SD Card version of SatNat ... It currently has an SD Card in from 2018 / 2019 and based on the case for the SD Card it is an Audio 20 system and not Command (makes sense as SD Card).
Anyway, so I thought to get the most up to date maps I purchase the Mercedes Me Services for Maps and Live Traffic. Well here's the cookie. Now I read that the car doesn't have the module required for online updates. It also allows me to enable WiFi but guess what, no way to actually enable internet on it (so what's the point). Anyway, when I look inside the navigation options it tells me that my live traffic expired in April rather than what the app tells me (2025).
So does that mean the app allowed me to purchase maps that can't even be used on my car because it is a different map system ? If so I obviously have to check with Mercedes and ask for a refund, but the main issue here is - how DO I upgrade the SD Card maps ? It seems you can get new sd cards online directly from mercedes and depending on region they cost between £109 and OVER 500 !! for Africa and Asia for example.
So is purchasing a new SD Card the only way to upgrade rather than manually downloading the files ?
I read somewhere that the system might be from Garmin, but that doesn't work either. Then I see the live traffic is coming from Tom Tom ... so I am utterly confused.
Manual only tells me where to plug that SD Card in - not what to do if I want a newer version.
Any ideas ?
