NTG5.5 Map Code

NTG5.5 is the final COMAND of the NTG5 series, fitted from 2017 until MBUX took over. Codes for it are generated the moment you submit your VIN.

Use this page if your NTG5.5 car asks for a Map License Key, Navi PIN, Activation Code, or PIN code during a USB map update. Common models include W213 E-Class, W205 C-Class facelift, W222 S-Class facelift, C257 CLS, and W463 G-Class.

How to identify NTG5.5

Go by chassis and build year first. NTG5.5 covers W205, C257, W222, W217, X290 and W463 built 2018 to 2021, plus W213 and W238 pre-facelift built 2017 to 2020. A W213 built from 2020 on is NTG6, not NTG5.5.

The definitive check is our Car Lookup. It reads your data card and reports the NTG version.

NTG5.5 region compatibility for imported cars

NTG5.5 head units are region-locked at the factory. If your car's region is Korea, Southeast Asia, Japan, or China, imports from those countries included, it will not accept a map from another region such as Africa / Middle East or Europe. The code makes no difference to that.

Before you buy, do one of these:

• Change your head unit's region first by finding a service online, or
• Replace the head unit entirely

You can still order the code before that work is done. Checkout adds a €50 non-refundable handling fee for a car from Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, China, or Taiwan buying a foreign-region map, and the map still won't install until the head unit is changed. We don't refund codes bought against this warning. We show the same warning in the code generation dialog.

NTG5.5 common problems

USB stick is not valid, even though it is correct

This is likely a region error, and it happens with Korean, Japanese, Southeast Asian, and Chinese cars, imports included. If you are unsure of your car region, use our Car Lookup to verify it.

In that case you need a service that can change the region of your head unit to the region you want. Contact us at contact@mbretrofit.it for more information.

Installation was unsuccessful

During the installation there is a chance that it fails due to an error when upgrading from a previously installed navigation. This is commonly occurring 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.
