Uses CDs, not DVD's
Disc #5 and #6 needed to get all of Ohio
eBay is the easiest source
Full sets (10 discs) run $200+
I think the last release was 2010, most of the eBay ones are older.
From what I read, the system is so poor, I'd just get one disc to see how you like it.
And don't get the DVD!

there should be a separate manuall for the COMMAND operator manual
it is a cd system, and id recommend saving your money and buy a standard
up to date, gps. the mercedes system for the most part has outdated
navigation and route information....with the price of small portable units
the software will be in more detail and up to date.. and it will cost u less.

Good advice.
I just got the CD for my 2003, just my area.
Interesting look at vintage navigation history, but pretty useless otherwise.
Cumbersome to use, slow to refresh, and visual effects reminiscent of an Atari game.
You can get 1 CD for ~$20 on ebay.
