Bought 2016 glc and had to buy a garmin sd card with 3 yrs maps update from independent seller put it in and words great. Can I swap this over to another Mercedes’ or now it’s fitted to glc is that it for life.
 
Aa far as I know the SD-Card gets 'locked' to the car's VIN on first use. But I haven't actually tried moving an SD-Card from one vehicle to another.
 
Yes, when you insert the card for the first time it locks it to the car and cannot be transferred. Just another way Mercedes force people to spend more money
