I have finally decided I need to update the maps on my Becker Map Pilot fitted in my 2015 C Class, the unit was fitted when I bought the car brand new from my local dealer and the salesman "helpfully" suggested I left it for about 18 months before I registered the unit with Becker and then got my free first update......big mistake on my part!
When I did connect the unit to the laptop and went onto the Becker site I got the message that the free update time had expired and it would cost 89 euros to update, not exactly a bargain!
For the next 4 years I made do with the maps that were installed when the unit was made, but now it is really well out of date and I either buy a Garmin or Tom Tom from Halfords of have my pockets picked by Becker. However after a look on ebay I saw some Becker Map Pilot "Genuine Copy" updates for sale for around £15, these are actually a link to a download from I know not where but there seems to be plenty of positive feedback to suggest they work. The issue is that I see identical advert from sellers in Greece, Albania, the USA and the UK so I`m wondering if this is a scam or do these update links really work?
Have any members used these update links and if so did they really worl ok?
Thanks
Neil
