You can use 7zip to extract the .RAR files if you do not have WINRAR available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/.

I extracted my file for the NBT and generated the FSC. However it is saying wrong code when I go to update the map.

can anyone help me out? I have attached my extracted file. Just rename to fsc extension.

kitster · 12-19-2014, 03:43 PM

Are your sure NR06843 is the last 7 letters/numbers of your VIN? I always thought the format was <LETTER><6 NUMBERS>.fsc

x5mad · 12-19-2014, 05:24 PM

That's definitely the last 7 letters/numbers. Or was I supposed to do the last letter only and numbers after that.

The above is my vin.

kitster · 12-19-2014, 05:31 PM

Whats your complete vin??? and did you download the exact same 2015 maps as SimonB???

That VIN resolves correctly on BMW archive as a 2013 F30 M-Sport in White. Manufactured 5.11.13

Try: M3GORTJR3UOA4AFKAACA

x5mad · 12-19-2014, 06:13 PM

Thanks I just got that same code 10 mins ago and it works.

When I did everything in capital letters it worked!

kitster · 12-19-2014, 06:48 PM

Nice one. Roll on 2015-2 maps

x5mad · 12-19-2014, 07:44 PM

Since I have it working now, I have deleted references to my VIN.

Thank you to all who have made this possible!

I am happy to help anyone in Brisbane upload their code into their newly purchased map. Please see disclaimer.

Sorry, been busy the last few days. Good to see everyone helping out here, including our UK mates.

The other day, I was reminded why I think paying dealer prices for this is a ripoff. In Perth, they're building Elizabeth Quay and they've dug up a section of Riverside Drive. It's gone. Been gone for a year.

My updated 2015 maps wanted me to go down that road. Nit still exists in the map database.

Oh, but it now tells me exactly when to exit a roundabout ("turn left now"), so that's fine. $500+ well spent.

hah yes it's crazy isn't it? $500 is a bit rich I admit. Where do we actually go to let the mapping people know of mistakes in guidance/road errors?

siddant · 12-21-2014, 09:45 PM

can someone please give me the link to the newest maps as well?
I bought mine around March and am assuming the new FSC code is already there.

Thanks
Sidd.

Hello Doc, hope you are well mate. It's been a while.

Don't forget you will also need to either buy or create your own FSC code as well.

G'day H

Haven't seen you on the road for a while... hope all is well. Happy New Year!

Thanks to x5mad for forwarding the link... Downloading as we speak!

Yup aware I have to generate a code, sounds like I have all the software and key ready to go so will have a crack tomorrow.

Have been able to help out one other local with programming... paying it forward... thanks again!

Cheers
Simon

HFW003 · 12-30-2014, 07:13 AM

Same to you mate!

I moved offices back in August so I don't go passed your work anymore, thankfully.

I now drive the other way and it takes me about 6 minutes from Warners Bay.

Hope work is not too busy for you!

Be safe.

docsimonm · 01-01-2015, 12:33 AM

Thanks all... all uploaded...

Generally I am a massive fan of the bmw satnav. The data for it apparently comes from Sensis. Just had a look at a few new roads - the Hunter Expressway is there, but it doesn't appear to be a freeway, and it's got the wrong name. Same again for the extension of the Inner City Bypass to Sandgate.

When I put in directions to the Hunter Valley, it took me some crazy way, instead of up the Expressway... that disappoints me...
