🗺️ What is NTG 5.5 Map Activation Code?
The NTG 5.5 Map Activation Code is a security code required to activate navigation map updates on Mercedes-Benz COMAND NTG 5.5 systems. This code is different from the Anti-Theft PIN (Command Code) and is specifically used for map activation purposes.
When you purchase or install new navigation maps on your NTG 5.5 system, the system requires a Map Activation Code to unlock and activate the maps. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized map usage.
⚠️ Important: Map Code vs. Anti-Theft PIN
These are two different codes:
- ✅ Map Activation Code: Used to activate navigation maps (this guide)
- ✅ Anti-Theft PIN (Command Code): Used to unlock the COMAND system when "Anti-Theft Protection Activated" appears
If your COMAND system is locked showing "Anti-Theft Protection Activated", you need the Anti-Theft PIN (Command Code), not the Map Activation Code.
