Hi, I have just purchased a 65 plate Slk, it’s supposedly got an updated Becker module in it but I’m not convinced as road layouts are out of date. I have tried the contact page on Becker but that failed. Can anyone tell me what version I have please? Screen says
14/19/00 2.5.27 the map detail says 2011Q2 - I haven’t a clue
 
Did they still use Becker units on 65 plate cars, thought it was Garmin Map Pilot for Audio 20/50 by then.

Latest Becker Map Pilot maps are 2019/2020 V19.0 (Q4/2018) which would suggest your maps are from 2011 which would not make sense on a 2015 car unless the Becker Unit is from a different and older car.

The 2.5.27 is the latest firmware version for the older device types: 9077, M013, M041, M045, M046, M050 and M051.

This suggests it has had the latest firmware (free) applied but not the latest maps (89 Euros).

Thanks so much
 
So did the car come from the factory with the Becker wiring in place, but without the module and then someone has bought a secondhand module and fitted it later?
 
Yes that’s right, the garage said they would give me a module updated and the said - they scrabbled around and found one in a drawer.
