Click Identify
Application ID 0x1B for (App ID 27 for CIC) 0xDE (App ID222 for NBT) <--- This is the App for your Nav enabler
Upgrade Index 0x1

Move Store FSC from the left to the right
Click Read
Click Save and name the file FXXXXXX_0001B001.fsc for CIC or FXXXXXX_000DE001.fsc for NBT where FXXXXXX is your VIN.
- When I decode the saved fsc file...I get nothing, blank spaces.

- What I do next is I open the fsc in E-sys, under Weitere Felder i see ExtensionData with a long string that looks like it could be the fsc code i need.
- I copy and paste that into the decoder and save it as a.hex
- I run the code generator, it says successful
- I open code.txt....its an empty file

What am i doing wrong?
When you read the FSC via E-Sys, it's already "decoded" (in binary). Trying to decode a binary file will not work. Only the SWID reader writes an encoded file.

Just feed the FSC that you read from E-Sys directly to the FSC.exe generator along with the region code (0x2d for North America) and 0x09 for 2015-1 Premium.

FSC.exe FXXXXXX_0001B001.fsc 0x2d 0x09


If you are using one of the GUI front-ends, then you will need to encode the FSC and feed the encoded FSC file to the front-end.


PM me if you are still having problems.

I have just tried the FSC generator program and it works absolutely fine. I made the mistake of naming my .fsc file with a lowercase f instead of an uppercase one, when entering the VIN and that affected the code generated.
I have a code that I purchased for Europe Premium 2014-1 (CIC) maps the other week and the FSC code generated was not the same until I renamed the file to have an uppercase F.

Anyway absolutely excellent program - will use it for future map updates!

On that note does anyone know if BMW have released maps for CIC premium 2014-2 or even 2015-1 yet?

Am I correct in thinking that NBT systems have had 2015-1 maps for some time, but not cic?

Thanks
Andrew

PM me if you are still having problems.
Thanks for your help! it worked and running the installer now.

Just one question, does the fsc file name matter? I dont think i labeled it correctly, but it generated a code, and the system seemed to have accepted the code (since its running the installer now). I guess file name doesnt matter?


edit: vin number doesnt matter. i was able to successfully update my maps.

another bit of info, for people who dont have USB sticks, you can in fact use external harddrives. You still have to load and unload the USB folders..but at least its good to know the car will recognize the drive

The file name doesn't matter, but the VIN certainly does. The VIN is encoded in the FSC file, so the generator uses that one unless overridden on the command line.

Like Shawn says, it takes a few minutes for the map to be fully setup after switch to the new map "partition".

When I updated my maps for the first time I freaked out a bit too, but it does eventually show up.

You can check by looking in the Info_Map.imp file.

The region code is 2 bytes at offset 8, and the sequence number is the 2 bytes after that.

Do you mind letting me know which program you are using to read the imp files??
Cheers.

Thanks to all who provided Tools and step by step instructions in this thread

I could now install Europe NEXT 2015-1 using the E-SYS method

To the guy above, I used HxD, google for it, very useful also for other things.

Shit, I just received an ENET cable for my e91 with CIC because it was stated to work with late-model Exx and the D-CAN cable I was going to buy said it's for bimmers to '08. Is this cable good for anything with Exx or should I send it back?

Anyone have BMW asap access lol

ENET Cable for Exx is worthless. And getting 1B File from CIC of Exx requires expensive ICOM.

Hello,
I have a F30 with NBT and I update nav with EUROPE Next 2015-1 (I had EUROPE Next 2013)
I used SWID and i used E-Sys to read Fsc with this config :

FSC Extended
Base variant 0x63 (For HU_NBT)
Identify
Application 0xDE (App ID222 for NBT)
Upgrade Index 0x1

I created code with fsc.exe ( I have tried also nbt.exe) with 0xA9 (Europe Next) and 0x04 for 2015.

All codes that I hade created are wrong !!!!
Is someone could help me to tell me what i must verify to have a right code ?

------------

J'ai un soucis avec la ceation de mon code d'activation apres une mise à jour de ma carte de navigztion sur une F30 avec initialement Europe Next 2013.
J'ai fait la mise a jour avec Europe Next 2015-1

J'ai récupéré le code Fsc avec E-Sys et SWID Reader
J'ai utilisé la configuration de E-Sys comme indiqué ci dessus.
La récupération des deux manières me donne le même fichier. Je pense donc que tout est ok.
Ensuite j'ai demandé la creation du code avec fsc.exe et nbt.exe en utilisant la configuration suivante : A9 pour Europe Next et 04 pour l'année 2015.
Cela m'a fonc donné 2 codes différents.
Jai essayé les deux codes et aucun ne fonctionne.

Est ce quelqu'un aurait une idée sur ce qu'il faudrait que je verifie ?
Merci
