harman/kardon Becker TrafficPro 4773 on special in North America
The 4773 was reduced and is now sold out, but Becker supportstill has a few units left, if interested. It's a great NAV for a great price. It's an easy to use NAV, AM/FM tuner with RDS and in-dash CD-player, all in a compact single slot format and used to be $1500 or more. 2 CDs cover the USA, split along the Mississippi. Supported languages are: English US, English GB, Espanol, Francais, Italiano and Deutsch. It also integrates a phone (mute) and iPod (aux) or changer and comes with the 'Becker sound'.The Mercedes Audio 30 APS is similar but the map CDs are not compatible.The US 2.0 software updates the radio and navigation system softwareslightly but unfortunately deletes Italian and German. The update is thus not recommended.

Mercedes DVD NAVs in Japan
These S, E, CLK COMANDs in Japan integrate DVD navigation for VICS (the Japanese version of the TMC service used for dynamic traffic routing), audio with cassette and in dash CD, and TV in the LCD display.They were developed with Siemens VDO (S-Class headunit) and harman Becker(E-Class headunit) and the DVD NAVs for both with harman Becker. DVD NAVs were introduced in Japan as early as 1998.


Blaupunkt TravelPilots
are radios and navs in a compact form for easy installs in singleDIN slots. The Fräulein who lives in there talks and sounds the same as in the COMAND APS since TravelPilots use the technology of the S-Class COMAND 2.5 just not with the larger screen. Folks who navigate a lot tend to just follow the voice andonly occasionally glance at the approach bar at closelyspaced turn-offs. The RNS 150 announces directions in english, deutsch, español, français, italiano and nederlands, just likethe COMAND. The dead reckoning performance and self correcting learningalgorithm is quite good, but overall route guidance is lacking.

The S-Class COMAND system, COMAND2.5, was used from 1998 to 2002. COMAND stands for CockpitManagement and Data System. It's reliable but fairly slow recalculatingroutes after missed turns. The map data is often older and not socomplete, but it does include more restaurants and special destinationsthan many newers ones I know. The voice quality is superb, and thevoice comands very precise, so one can navigate without having to lookat the screen!


A second generation of COMAND with a new wider 16:9 color TFTscreen was presented with the 2003 S- and CL-Class. Navigation became optional for $1500 but was included in the S 600 sedan and coupe. As in the previous system other options are an integratedphone, CD-changer and in Europe also a TV tuner. Looks great and the CDs are compatible with the previous system. BTW, this is COMAND 2.0 DX CD NAV under a new cover. The after-market version isthe Blaupunkt DX-V.

A software update for COMAND 2.0 (M, CLK, C, E, G) was released in August 2002, which accelerates the system, and includes an intelligent speller dropping letters not making sense.

The Dietz 1440 video adapter for COMAND
enables video input into the Mercedes COMAND NAV systems without a TV-tuner. It costs EU239 and supports PAL and NTSC TV signalsfor external video signals like DVD players, videorecorders, cameras etc.

5 cm (2 inches) position accuracy demonstrated
Mercedes Research and Technology North America showed a M-Class with precise vehicle location to 5 cm (2 inches) position accuracy when driving on Interstate Highway 280, using GPS and precise maps technology. The PASS system for passenger cars is under development.
August 2000

Most of the navigation systems mentioned here are self-calibratingby continuously comparing distances travelled with their map data, andauto-correcting any differences. Some other manufacturers' systems don'tto that nor use auto tire calibration. Buyer beware. Uncalibratedsystems are not more accurate than handheld GPS.

DVD vs CD navigation software
DVD NAVs, e.g. from Alpine usually have more map details and faster routerecalculation and 2 more zoom levels and cover North America on one DVD. On the other hand it's easier to back up CDs, and it's a 10 hour drive to the edge of my CD coverage area. A full set of 11 Nav CDs costs retail around $285 and less at $140 when ordered before the vehicle leaves the prep center.


harman Becker introduce the Traffic Pro in the US: model 4773
Fall 2002. The distant Mercedes relative is the MB Audio 30 APS,which I like using, easy - never read a manual, let's you make anyturns you like without getting confused, and with fast recalculations itadjusts to the user, instead of having to wait for it. It will be soldas Harman/Kardon and without CAN interface for the display in theinstrument cluster. The MB Audio 30 APS was developed by innovativesystems and Becker for Mercedes, starting in 1997 and was firstintroduced in 1999. The TrafficPro is the after-market version. 'Der ultimative granatenmäßige Oberhammer' and more than 130,000 unitshave been sold in Europe (by early 2001). One CD covers most of Europe and with software version 4.0 dynamic traffic guidance becameavailable using the radio data system and the TMC message format (free)or with cell-phone and GSM (charges apply, unpopular), as well as much more map data. Once this system becomes available in the US ( has been in beta for a year now) it will use only two CDs, one east of the Mississippi and one west of it. Another nice feature: It can play music CDs while it navigates. This does not apply to the later APS 50.

Mercedes history: First GPS NAV sold by MBUSA
In September 1997 MBUSA introduced an optional 'GPS navigational system' for the 1998 and 1999 model year M-Class, the first MB NAV in North America. On the first test drive in 1997 it kept tracking correctly even when encountering small deadends and parking lots with frequent tight turns. It's mounted above the dash vents so drivers don't have to take the eyes off the road. The latest map software version is 2001.1, previous versions were 1999.1 and 1998.1. The map database software is supplied by NavTeq.


Starting with 2000 in North America Alpine supplies the Modular COMAND System (MCS). From 2000 to 2002 the MCS uses a CD navigation module. Starting in 2003 a DVD navigation module was used. In 2004 a SVC button was added and in model year 2005 it became a SAT button. The first MCS CD software version is 1999.1. The first MCS DVD softwareversion 2001.1, both supplied by Navteq.


Mercedes COMAND NAVs: from APS 1 to COMAND 2.5
Blaupunkt's first navigation patents were issued in 1978. In 1983EVA (Elektonischer Verkehrslotse für Autofahrer) was introduced. In 1989 the first production ready CAR NAV worldwide was shown: the TravelPilot IDS (Identification of Digitized Streets) with digital mapssupplied by Etak, but expensivememory and missing digital maps precluded a commercial success. innovative systems developed maps in the Hamburg area in the early 1990s.In the mid 90s series production of the first car NAV started. The APS 1 was listed in the sales brochures and pricelists for the 1995 S-Class W140 as Autopilotsystem (APS) Code 351.

The COMAND system is available in MLs outside of North-America. It'sthe COMAND 2.0, as used in the E-Class, CLK etc, and similar to theS/CL-Class version, which is COMAND 2.5.It has an electronic gyro, clear voice, good accuracy but slow routerecalculation of long routes. Options like cell-phones, TV, Linguatronicand dynamic traffic updates are available, some only after-market. Anew COMAND 2.0 from the MB dealer costs about $2400 and good used systemsstart at $1100. There are three different 2.0 versions out, dependingon CAN and D2B bus configurations. NavTeq of TeleAtlas supply the map data.Two map data updates per year are provided in Europe, since about 1995when the first versions of this system appeared in the W140 S-Classsedan and coupe.

If you own a Volkswagen with an in-built GPS navigation system then you might be feeling the frustration of finding that the maps are not as reliable as they once were. The reason being is that the maps themselves are loaded onto the system, typically via a DVD, CD, or SD Card. Having to update the maps can be expensive. That’s why we offer you links and instructions on how to get a VW navigation DVD download. Click the link below to get started.

VW Navigation CD: Free Download

If you are looking to download maps for free at GPS Bites then we are sorry to disappoint you, as we don’t physically hold or store any files on our website. What we do instead is link you through to the best place that we have found online where it’s possible to get new VW navigation DVD downloads, or to buy the actual CD itself.

To see if that’s currently possible please click the link towards the top of this page.

VW Navigation DVD Download – How it Works

We are not able to offer you any advice on our website on how to actually download VW navigation maps on DVD or CD, because we are partners of the official map supplier. We do not condone any illegal activity so instead offer you a route into getting an official DVD map update instead.

One word of warning: if you do decide to install a VW navigation update download which is not official or that you have not purchased yourself then you could possibly damage your in-built navigation system.

That’s because hacked software or hacked map downloads can be corrupt. This could mean that you actually end up spending more money in the long-term, especially if you end up having to visit a Volkswagen dealer for them to repair your GPS.

Not only that, but hacked VW navigation CD free downloads could possibly also come with a nasty surprise: malware, or viruses. We have heard of many VW drivers you have ended up not just messing up their in-car GPS navi system, but also their PC or Mac. Is that really a risk you wish to take?

We always recommend installing legitimate map updates, and the following models are available should you wish to buy an official version DVD, rather than download a torrent copy of the DVD, CD, or disc. Those Volkswagen models are as follows:

  • Beetle
  • CC
  • Eos
  • eGolf
  • Golf
  • GTI
  • Jetta
  • Passat
  • Phaeton
  • R32
  • Routan
  • Tiguan
  • Touareg

Keep Legal and Safe: Don’t Use Torrent Websites

Thank you for visiting GPS Bites, we hope that you understand how we cannot possibly legitimately link you to downloadable VW GPS maps as that is potentially illegal. Please drive safe and only ever use the official map updates discs that can be purchased annually online.
