Product reviewsMercedes-benz Becker Navigation Map Pilot - 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016,2017

Early days yet.

Easy to installl,slip into slot in glovebox and it fires up, extensive range of settings and clear maps, one setting nags every time you exceed speed limit by your chosen amount, might have to change this to extra 10 MPH.
Overall the unit is very good and can be set to however you like it. Contrary to what others say it does accept full post codes, this with voice command make route setting easy,
Looks good so far.Read full review...

Great Produst Very Difficult To Use

Very Comprehensive, well made and simple to install BUT it is very difficult to use and has a steep learning curve. There are things which are necessary to perform which are NOT covered in the manual - Like Turning UP the announcement volume as the default is almost zero volume! I guess I'll Learn the O/S and get used to it but meantime is is a Distraction rather than an Aid! .. And the well known brands on the market 'Leave This One Stood' when it comes to being Intuitive to use!Read full review...

Becker Nav Pilot

Easy to use. Doesn't take postal codes which would make it better. Maps need updating and cost £70 for latest versions.
Integrates well with Mercedes SLK. Like the feature of providing Lane images in between the speedo and rev counter. Makes it safer and easier to read.
Overall good, but Tom Toms probably better but then you'd not have it integrated with the car which is why you'd want to purchase a Becker. Read full review...

Good product, but takes some getting used to

This was easy to fit to the socket in my B class. However, I needed to remove it to update the software and maps using content manager, which you have to download to your PC or Mac. Mac version tricky to find. Once updated and reinstalled works well although finding ways to do things like stop navigation is not intuitive and I've had to refer to the manual (also downloaded) several times. Now I'm getting the hang of it I like it and it's certainly accurate and finds the satellites quickly.Read full review...

Bloody marvellous!

Easiest, Cheapest Upgrade to a 'posh' brand car like the Mercedes I've ever known - just works out the box! As long as the wires and bracket are in your car, which it seems most are, then its a 30 second job to give you full SATNAV!

Spot On!

It arrived very quickly ((took a while to set up but that’s down to the manufacturers), updated the latest software in no time at all and is working brilliantly!

At a fraction of the cost of having it fitted by Mercedes, this purchase was so much more than a bargain. Thank you. Read full review...

Very impressed

Assuming you have a car (Mercedes Benz) which is pre-wired for it this unit could not be easier to install - just slot it into the bracket in the glove-box. Before that you should register it online and make sure mapping is up to date - that can be a bit fiddly and time-consuming but well worth it.
Once installed it is easy to use and more intuitive to use than some other systems. We are still exploring its more obscure functions and it may fall a bit short there but not enough to cause us any concern. Its a good buy and more affordable than most SatNavsRead full review...

So had a look on eBay saw this £175 thought I will give it a go it was delivered fast plugged it into my car and it works great very impressive so far would highly recommend it .Read full review...

Good map tool

Really pleased overall with this Becker box. It does everything you can imagine other than when it comes to voice command for locations; it insists on German and only comes up with German locations! There doesn't appear to be a way to change languages as the button will not highlight for this, I guess i need to learn more German! But seriously, if you are considering getting one, they are great.Read full review...

A must module for Mercedes

I would not buy this at full price, but the used one I was sent was like new and connects well to the Becker site for updates if needed. The system itself is perhaps not as good as a stand alone of the same price such as TomTom but it is fully integrated with the car which is invaluable. It just clips into the tray in the glove box and configures itself no problem. Having the speed warnings turned on at all times is very useful to me as I obsess a bit about keeeping to the speed limits. It does not give full traffic flow like Google Maps which to me is the ultimate route finder but so far doesn't give speed warnings. I think though that a Merc is incomplete without the Becker Map Pilot, so buy one!Read full review...

Becker Map is brilliant!

Very impressed with the Becker Map Pilot. It really is plug and play into my Mercedes and very easy to use. I particularly like the voice control command which is excellent when you are driving.
