Hi

looking to update my navigation maps as I am still back in version 11. My car is a 2016 build S205 with COMAND so the 3 year ‘free’ update has passed. Was always a faff to get dealer to update maps and never sure they always had the latest version. Am I correct that we can now update our COMAND hard drive map via a USB rather than the 3 or more hours wait at the dealers If I am correct I need to obtain a new map on a USB and upload into contents to the and then enter a pass code generated for my VIN. I assume that it would be prudent to hook the car up to my Battery charger is the process takes a while. From
What I can see the latest version a V13 but this was released in November 2018 don’t want to go through the expense of upgrading if a newer version is due out soon. Any info about update process and when new releases are sent out would be much appreciated.
 
Hi
Mercedes dont announce when new maps are coming - they just appear. V13 was indeed released in 2018 and I'd be expecting a new map really every year (if not earlier, but clearly not in this case). V12 was released in Q4 2017, and the new NTG5*1 has just been released (but can't download at the moment).
So, yes, I'd wait a bit.

Thanks Richard.
I will wait for the new version as I will only be traveling on routes that I know well until the spring.
