Details

What's included
  • Original Mercedes-Benz code
  • Generated for your VIN
  • Email delivery

NTG5*1 (also written NTG5s1 or NTG5.1) is one of two parallel NTG5 COMAND head-unit variants. It has built-in Apple CarPlay / Android Auto support and the SD-card slot on the head-unit fascia, and was fitted across mid-2010s compact and SUV Mercedes models.

What you receive

  • An original Mercedes-Benz activation PIN generated for your VIN and the selected map version.
  • The original Mercedes Download Manager — handles the download, file extraction, USB formatting and copy in one step. Windows-only, so a Windows PC is required to run it.

Delivery

  • Quick email delivery after purchase — your PIN and the Download Manager arrive in your inbox.

About NTG5*1

  • NTG5*1 has a physical keypad on the fascia — NTG5*2 and NTG5.5 are rotary-controller only. The keypad is the easiest visual way to tell *1 from *2.
  • NTG5*1 supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto natively (NTG5*2 does not — it needs a retrofit box for those features).
  • The SD-card slot is on the head-unit fascia rather than in the centre armrest as on NTG5*2.
  • *1 and *2 aren't a sequence — they're two parallel hardware variants that Mercedes used on different platforms through the same era. *1 went to compact and SUV models (A, B, CLA, GLA, E W212 facelift, CLS, GLE, GLS, SL, SLC), *2 to large saloons and sporty platforms (S, C, GLC, V, X, AMG GT).

Good to know

  • The PIN is generated against your 17-digit VIN and the specific map version — please double-check your VIN before ordering.
  • It cannot be transferred to another vehicle or paired with a different map version.

Installation

Updating the maps on a NTG5*1 / NTG5s1 head unit takes about an hour from start to finish, most of which is the file copy itself. You won’t need a workshop or coding tools — just a USB stick (or SD card on some older units) and the PIN we email you.

What you need

  • A USB stick, at least 32 GB (64 GB recommended for newer maps), formatted as FAT32 or exFAT.
  • A Windows PC — the Mercedes Download Manager we provide only runs on Windows.
  • The activation PIN we email you after ordering.
  • Your Mercedes within reach — you’ll need to keep the engine running (or the ignition on) during the update.

Step-by-step

  1. Plug your USB stick into your Windows PC and open the Mercedes Download Manager we send you.
  2. The Download Manager handles the rest — it pulls the right map file for your region, extracts it, formats your USB and copies the files across in the correct structure. No file fiddling on your part.
  3. When the Download Manager says it’s done, eject the USB safely.
  4. Sit in your Mercedes and start the engine (or set ignition to position 2 / on).
  5. Insert the USB stick into the centre-console USB port (or media-interface SD slot, depending on model).
  6. Wait around 20 seconds — your COMAND / MBUX system will detect the update and prompt you with a pop-up.
  7. Confirm Start update with the iDrive-style controller.
  8. When prompted, enter the activation PIN we emailed you. The system will verify it against your VIN.
  9. Leave the USB plugged in until the update finishes — your COMAND / MBUX system will reboot automatically. Don’t turn the engine off.

Stuck? Email us with a photo of your screen and we’ll talk you through it. Most issues are USB-format related — we have a one-click formatter app that handles it for you if needed.
