Thread: Garmin Map Pilot for Mercedes-Benz cars

Maby a stupid question.

Is it possible that i copy a old backup on the virgin card en do the v8 update by download manager to software version v8 ?


I have update my original card this afternoon in the download manager to version v8.
when i place the orginal card in the cardreader from my computer en start the download manager then i get the message activate it first in the car before you can use the download manager.

I have make of course a copy from the original SDCARD before i place it in my car & go to test it this evening in a CLA with the virgin 32GB SDCARD

I've made this on my two cloned cards.
After the upgrade every card need to be married with the car before you can use the download manager.
But the download manager don't show any update for the map... there are something wrote in the card that prevent upgrade after 60 days from the first actication.

Could you please tell us what something is? Thank you

I've also a cloned card (samsung evo 64gb) with same CID and label.
(My car have more than 60 days).

That's why I say do not use the MD download manager until you're sure there's a map upgrade. At that point reset the backup and re-enable the card in the car and then try to upgrade in the MB download manager.

Theoretically MB Download Manager must register the activation date of the card, if we have reset and never tried the upgrade in principle will be considered within 60 days.

PS - I have upgrade V5 software to v6 then to 6.1 then back to v6 and now to v8 ... the maps unfortunately got in V5 because I still had thought of the subject and I used MB download Manager several times before there is a New version of maps and possibly no map update in 60 days.
