Mercedes Benz Garmin Map Pilot Download Manager Mac By prokemblumud1977 Follow In order to update your GPS device: Mercedes COMAND Online (Garmin Map Pilot) with the latest update, follow next instructions. Mercedes-Benz Download Manager is an application that allows you to download latest updates for Mercedes-Benz navigation system. C: Program Files (x86) Mercedes-Benz Download Manager Open the 'Mercedes-Benz Download Manager.exe' as an Administrator (Right mouse button 'Run as Administrator'), if you don't, then the application will stop at 50% and will be unable to write to the SD Card. Use 'DLM' and pw 'DLM' to login and download your Map Update. For me it works. Because the SD card holds all the map data and navigation software, Mercedes claims that this makes it easier to download updates from the internet. The owner simply removes the SD card from the slot in the car, plugs it into the slot on their computer, and then downloads any new material from Mercedes-Benz and Garmin when it becomes available.
