C200 Estate (W204) 2013 Automatic
Good morning, I'm Graham but like to be called Frostie/Frosty.

I've just bought a "grown up" car my C200 Estate 2013 W204.

My other car is a 2006 Defender 90 (I've had 5) and felt I should now have a nice car but keep my Landie.

I have a question...... I want to install a genuine MB satnav. Everything that is installed says it's satnav ready apart from there is no Becker Map Pilot cradle in the glove box. I have an Audio 20 radio with the Nav option on the screen and access from other sources and it looks like a GPS aerial on the roof.

Can a cradle be installed or will there be no wiring?

Thanks in advance!!

Frostie

Hello and welcome.

The Becker Map Pilot option should appear as SA Code 508 NAVIBOX PREINSTALLATION in your VIN Datasheet, it is possible you could have one of several other Sat Nav options fitted, not having the cradle fitted to your glovebox, I'm sure others will be along shortly to advise further.

They will be able to tell you what your car has, and what you need to add.
It won’t be particularly cheap, and you may end up with kit that isn’t particularly ‘cutting edge’.

It may be worth going for an android unit with all the latest whistles n bells or a good alpine/pioneer etc unit

Free option....just use WAZE on your smartphone, :)

Thanks for all your prompt replies and information.

I have actually got a separate Garmin satnav with camera which I currently use, I just wanted to have an integral one.

I had already heard that the mapping is lacking in the Becker unit. My wife has a 2017 C200 with the Garmin satnav built in, but on an SD card and it is the same as my external unit.
