Both Garmin and Tom Tom (NavTeq and TeleAtlas cartography respectively) will provide lifetime updates to their cartography for a fraction of what MB price a single update at. Country and roads coverage is essentially identical (but they have different update frequencies so they will continually leapfrog eachother in terms of "completeness"), and the only thing missing from their POI databases will be the MB Dealer network, which cannot possibly justify the premium price.

I think you'll find Mercedes charge more than that

My belief is that they charge this much because they suspect disks will get passed around.

To be honest they should bring one out to add 7 digit postcode to the W204 comand and the slightly older cars. They would sell a tonne of them!
