The Becker MAP PILOT is a navigation system for Mercedes-Benz with the Audio 20 radio. The navigation sits in its own small module, and the maps are on an SD card inside that module. To update the maps, you swap the SD card. There are two module versions, rev1 and rev2, and each map card fits only one of them. Here is how to recognise your version.
Which vehicles have a Becker MAP PILOT?
The module was offered in many Mercedes models from about 2011 to 2016, in the Vito and Sprinter for longer, and also in the VW Crafter. Typical examples:
- A-Class (09/2012 to 09/2015), B-Class (11/2011 to 11/2014)
- C-Class saloon and estate (03/2011 to 2014), C-Class coupé (to 12/2015)
- E-Class in all body styles (07/2012 to 03/2015)
- CLA coupé, CLS coupé and Shooting Brake (to 2014)
- GLK, M-Class, GL-Class and SLK
- Sprinter (07/2013 to 05/2018), Vito (09/2014 to 12/2019), VW Crafter (11/2013 to 12/2016)
Many of these models were also available with Garmin MAP PILOT or Comand. If your car has no Becker module, our guide Which Mercedes map card fits? (in German) or the Mercedes Comand and MBUX map update guide will help.
How to find your module number
- Find the module. In many vehicles the Becker module sits in a holder in the glovebox.
- Read the number. The module carries a module number, for example M046 or M084. This number decides which card fits.
- Look at the slot. Older modules (rev1) have a slot for normal SD cards, newer ones (rev2) a microSD slot.
Which card fits which module?
| Version | Module numbers | Slot | Matching card |
|---|---|---|---|
| Becker MAP PILOT rev1 | 9077, M013, M041, M045, M046, M050, M051 | SD card | Becker Map Pilot rev1, Europe |
| Becker MAP PILOT rev2 | M054, M075, M076, M083, M084, M085, M092, M097 | microSD card | Becker Map Pilot rev2, Europe |
The Mercedes card numbers on the old cards, such as A1729064601, A1729064501 or A1729064701, exist for both versions. The number on the old card is therefore not enough. What matters is the module number.
How to swap the card
rev1
- Switch off the sat nav or the ignition.
- Take the old SD card out of the module.
- Insert the new card and switch on the ignition.
rev2
With rev2 modules, the module has to be connected to a computer once and updated before it can use the new card. This takes a little more effort and the instructions are in English. Ask us about it before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
Does a rev1 card fit a rev2 module?
No. The cards are tied to the module version. Order by module number, not by the look of the old card.
Where do I find the module number if the module is built in?
Send us a photo of the module or the old card at info@navisdkarten.de. We will help you find the right version.
I have a Garmin MAP PILOT, not a Becker
Garmin cards go straight into the radio, not into a separate module. There are separate cards for them, for example Garmin Map Pilot Star2 or Garmin Map Pilot Star1.
