Premium partnership.
FROM BECKER MEXICO TO BECKER MAP PILOT.

WITH THE BECKER MAP PILOT, MERCEDES-BENZ

AND BECKER PRESENT another milestone in their
tradition-rich partnership. Both companies have always enjoyed a shared philosophy: the quest for absolute perfection.
Deciding factors in that quest are outstanding performance
and quality, as well as first-class technology.
AS LONG AS SIX DECADES AGO, the legendary
Becker Mexico radio was installed in the premium models
bearing the three-pointed star the cornerstone for a

partnership of trust that continues to this day. Becker, a

HARMAN brand, sets the stage in developing infotainment, navigation, and sound systems for Mercedes-Benz.
For each application, engineers at both companies, working
as a close-knit team, search for tailor-made solutions that
satisfy the highest demands, without reservation. The
benchmark is the demand, on the part of both HARMAN
and Mercedes-Benz, for uncompromising quality as well as
technologically and functionally outstanding solutions.

THE VEHICLE-SPECIFIC BECKER MAP PILOT

offers the complex performance package of integrated
navigation systems combined with the advantages offered
by the latest generation of highly flexible, portable devices.
Updateable at any time, the Becker MAP PILOT opens up
fascinating possibilities. For the first time, a fully integrated
system can be updated or upgraded with new functions
conveniently, from home or office, by means of an Internet
connection to the Becker MAP PILOT Web Shop.

INTEGRATED NAVIGATION FOR TOMORROW.

THE EXCLUSIVE BECKER MAP PILOT

NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS ALWAYS UP TO DATE.
HARMAN has made it possible to combine the a dvantages
of an integrated navigation system with the benefits of
portable systems that can be updated at any time. In this
way, advances in navigation technology, new map material by NAVTEQ, and personalized updates are always
available. With this c apability, the Becker MAP PILOT is
timelessly unique and a lasting investment as part of the
cars equipment.
INTEGRATION WITH ON-BOARD ELECTRONICS.
Interfaces with all vehicle functions turns the Becker MAP
PILOT into an uncommonly comfortable traveling companion. The mobile navigation system is quickly and easily
8

inserted into the custom-tailored, lockable receptacle in the

glove compartment. As soon as the Becker MAP PILOT
is activated, it establishes links to the base radio, the cars
combination instrument, and the speakers.

THE ADVANTAGES ARE OBVIOUS. The driver can

comfortably control the Becker MAP PILOT like an integrated navigation system. Familiar operation, using the voice
recognition based one shot address input, the multifunction steering wheel, and the r otating COMAND interface
knob is available. All functions are indicated in the central
display and in the combination instrument. Audible driving
directions are heard through the vehicle speakers. As with
a permanently installed system, the sound volume of radio
programs or music is automatically reduced while audible
driving directions are given. Beyond this, the Becker M
AP
PILOT utilizes the cars own GPS and TMC antennas,
assuring the best possible reception regardless of location.
An added advantage is the elimination of any unsightly,
annoying or unsafe wiring in the cockpit.
