How to identify NTG5.5
One of the easiest ways to identify whether your car is NTG5.5 is to use our Car Lookup feature.
Purchase a Map Code
Purchasing a map code has never been easier. Simply follow our guide here. Or follow the form below (after creating your USB)
Region Compatibility
Important Notice for Korea, Southeast Asia, and Japan Vehicles
If your car has a region of Korea, Southeast Asia, or Japan (including imports from these Asian countries), and you want to migrate to a navigation from a different region (such as Africa/Middle East or Europe), you cannot use our service — the update will not work.
Before purchasing a map code, you must:
- Change your head unit's region first by finding a service online, or
- Replace the head unit entirely
Refunds will not be granted for region incompatibility issues if you proceed without addressing the region change first. We provide clear warnings in our code generation dialog and guide pages about this limitation.
Common Problems
Here are some common problems you might encounter when purchasing a map code for your NTG5.5 car.
USB Stick is not valid, even though it is correct
This is likely a region error and ONLY occurs with Korean and Japanese cars (even imported). If you are unsure of your car region, please use our Car Lookup feature to verify your car region.
In cases like this, you will need to consult a service to change the region of your head unit to your desired region. Contact us at contact@mbretrofit.it for more information.
Installation was unsuccessful
During the installation there is a chance that it fails due to a error when upgrading from a previously installed navigation. This is commonly occuring with high version jumps from your currently installed map to your new purchase.
There's no need to worry! You need to purchase a ERASE style map code, to delete the already existing map from your car to then install the brand new one.
