Becker map pilot

[harryflatters]

Trying to update my Becker 'capsule', with the help of my much more 'tech' minded Son, we managed, somehow, to 'lose' all European maps! Try as we might, we can't connect to Becker 'Harman Kardon' etc. so my navigations system is now useless!! I've reverted to my trusty, 15 year old Garmin, which I have managed to update but wonder if some clever people on here can suggest how I can get the 'in car' system working again, please.

Unfortunately Becker no longer support Map Pilot. There may be someone on here that has a work round.

From memory, the SD-Card slot is only for optional map extentions, but there's no card in it - the device has 8gb of internal storage for the software and maps.

Why not replace the Becker Map Pilot with an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto device?

Here's an example - other sellers are available:

Mercedes Benz Becker Map Pilot Apple Carplay Android Auto Multimedia box - UK AUTO RETROFITS LTD

Upgrade your Mercedes with the Becker Map Pilot NTG4.5/4.7 Multimedia Box and enjoy Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Audio 20 features.

(I am not familiar with this particular make, just Googled it)

I'd be inclined to look for a car audio specialist near you and ask if they can help - got to be worth a try before you look at replacing the whole unit .

I know of a good place close to me , but I'm in Scotland , so that one isn't much use to you .

Perhaps also worth looking on the internet to see if there's a users group of suchlike - you can't be the only person ever to have had this issue .
