Anyone tried this, seems you plug in a bit of old ethernet you may have lying around and job done for £4.30? Any good?

Thanks. I imagined that there was a greater risk of cocking it up if I do it myself, than if someone was selling the finished product.

Well unbelievable, my car is OCT 2014 build and version reported is Road Map EUROPE Next 2014-2.

So update needed , going to dry dealer first as you'd think a car less than a month old would have the latest maps loaded.

Mine was registered March 2014 and had 2014-1. I would of thought 2014-2 would of been the latest when your car was built. 2015-1 only came out 2 weeks ago.

Europe NEXT 2015-1 was released about 10 days ago, but it sounds like the Oct Cars were still being built with the then current maps.

Defo kick off at the dealers, failing that get a cable and generate the code yourself.

Just tried the update to see if it would either ask for no code or accept the one in the glovebox letter - it didn't.

See what the dealer says.

OK apologies for going over old ground, but to check my understanding, I can update the map to 2015-1 as follows:

1. Use Winrar (free download?) to download the 21 map files to my PC from the link in this thread

2. Get a new 32GB USB stick and format it to FAT32? How do I format it, or do they come formatted in this way?

3. Copy the 21 files from PC to USB stick

4. Buy FSC code for £18 ish (if I don't want to generate my own)

5. Insert USB stick in glovebox USB and enter FSC code


Is that correct?

Thanks

Almost. You use "uTorrent" (or another torrent client) to download the compressed files. Then you use WinRAR to uncompress into the accepted format. The memory stick will almost certainly be FAT32 - if not, right-click on it in Windows Explorer and format it yourself.

What Xenon said

1. Use Winrar (free download?) to download the 21 map files to my PC from the link in this thread

- Winrar is free but it's just a tool to uncompress files. The maps are downloaded from a torrent (I use UTorrent for Mac), which will download multiple 1GB files. You use Winrar/7zp to extract the data from these files.

3. Copy the 21 files from PC to USB stick

- Once you have uncompressed the files they will be in a folder, copy the contents from folder (not the folder itself) to the root of the USB stick.

5. Insert USB stick in glovebox USB and enter FSC code

- Correct, the NBT will tell you that newer map data is available and give you the option to upgrade, at this point you enter the 20 digit code. Takes about 45 mins to upload. Once it's done, restart the car and the map version will update.

OK plot thickens checked with two service departments and according to service department only 2015-1 are out for E90 moels on DVDs

No F30 updates, just wondering if anyone else has heard the same

I have the FSC code given to me when I first bought the car. Will that still work?

That is such bullshit, the map is NEXT which is NBT only. The E90 only had CCC or CIC (Premium) Pronav.

The latest version of Premium is currently 2014-1.

As usual dealers are clueless or it's quote possible that the UK bmw is behind Germany.

My car is only a week or so old but the FSC code in the hand-over pack does not work for 2015-1. I'm going to have to generate my own code or hope the dealer agrees to supply.

I suspect the usual being behind europe for these. If we had a part number for the official one it might help but without it not much to go on.

Be interesting how you get on xenon have you heard back from your dealer

Weird how you got the code as I did not get one in with my car
