Is there a way through any hidden menus to find out exactly what Sat Nav I have so that I can order the correct way to update my Maps to a more current version.

Its a W212 June 2012 car, with Comand unit and DVD capabilities , there is also a SD card slot.

It seems that most dvd updates go up to 2011 cars, and most SD updates are for newer cars. Was my car in a change over period ?

So is there anyway to know exactly what unit I have ?

thank you
 
Your car most likely has COMAND NTG4.5.

You can check the currently installed maps version from the NAVI menu.

The latest maps version for COMAND NTG4.5 is 2019 v18.

The updates are done either via DVDs set (slow - 2-3 hours), or via USB media (faster - about 60 minutes).

You will need to purchase the Media (on DVD, or better-still on USB), and separately a PIN code.

Both can be purchased here: Catalog, or from your local MB dealer.

In either case the supplier can verify and confirm the correct maps for your car.

And, if you drive down Comand UK in Lightwater, or take the car to the dealer, then they can also upgrade the firmware on your COMAND unit at the same time - not mandatory for the maps update, but still recommended.

Comand UK would be your best bet though, because most MB dealers are not very clued-up on COMAND unfortunately.
