Does the NAV Sys come pre-loaded from factory?
Good morning, quick question. If you build an f30 with a NAV system does it come pre-loaded with all the maps/data from the factory? Or when it arrives at the dealer does the NAV need to be loaded/configured? If so, does anyone know how long this takes? Thanks.

How do you know if you have the 2012 or 2013 maps? And how do you download new maps?

I got my car on 12/21. I was supposed to pick up on 12/20 but I was told the nav indicated it needed to be updated. I was told it takes about 1 hr (probably less) to update the nav.

As for the new maps, you can purchase them from BMW which comes on a USB stick for updating. Otherwise, you can find *ahem* shadier sources for the files. They clock in around 20-something gigabytes. You'll still need an FSC Code if it's required. Last edited by themoveforward; 01-06-2013 at 05:24 PM.. |

If you just took delivery of the car within the last month or so, then the dealership more than likely used a 2013 FSC code to activate the 2012 maps. That means you can activate any year map data up to and including the 2013 release.

I will be able to confirm this later today. Took delivery of the car 2 weeks ago. Just need to go pick up a bigger flash drive in a bit!

I believe that the discs are the same across model platforms, but I may be wrong on that one (I recall seeing a chart that listed nearly every model and year that the discs were applicable to and it was pretty much everything). If it's just a download it can't hurt to try.

Yes that is. Your dealer updated the software or did not have the car in inventory very long.
