Sat NAV Update

[rpsamme]

I have a 2013 C180 which I have had for a few years. At the weekend I tried to updated the Sat NAV maps. I have the Becker unit and finally got it connected to laptop and connected to the software. It did the backup and register ok but when it was updating the firmware it just froze and told me I needed to press the reset button. No the unit wont connect to my laptop and when I plug it back into the car the NAV is not available.

Has anyone come across this before? Is the unit now bricked? Is it worth me taking to the local Mercedes dealership or should I buy a new unit? I have seen some on ebay for around £160 with latest maps. Is it worth getting one of these?

Thanks for any help

Have you used genuine software not a copy?
I have a 2011 E350CDI which I have had 11 years, it still has the original mapping. I am not paying over £100 a year for updates, on not a particularly good sat nav.
I run WAZE from my iPhone, light years ahead of MB's sat nav & its free.

Yes I tried to do it legit through the Becker content manager, luckily I didnt get to the stage to purchase the new map.
