MP Navigation

Hi Guys/Girls
I have a 2018 MP that uses the Command system. Mine is one of the effected vehicles that used 3G Communication and uses "Here Maps" for its navigation.
As you may be aware Mercedes no longer has an outline agreement with Here so it is impossible to update the mapping at any price.
Just a note here, no SD card or over the air or by any means is it possible to update the maps in a navigation system supplied by Here.

I now have a navigation system that is 4 years out of date (incidentally they didn’t mind charging me for traffic updates before I found out that the mapping was not updateable).
The vehicle has only ever had one update when it was 3 years old.

Right there is a tiny chink of light for us. Some manufacturers are offering a device that plugs into the USB port and will display Android data on the existing hardware. I use Apple so I would need a similar device using Apple carplay.

Does anyone have such a device and could they share with the forum where they purchased it from.
 
Have a chat with Comandonline.co.uk - they are well-known for Mercedes COMAND upgrades/retrofits etc so would be a good first port of call. Also worth looking at MBClub.co.uk - there would likely be a solution because the loss of 3G affects more than just the V-Class.

Hope that helps,
 
Mine all runs out at the end of the month so going to get carplay installed and be done with the MB stuff. My maps are still the original 2018 version!
