Right re-formated USB to Fat32 (it was Fat16) downloaded and it was stored as a "Bin File"!!!, anyway same result No software on USB available message!!.
Could the file type be wrong?.
EDIT: just downloaded direct onto USB , tried it , "Software not compatible with car" showed on the car!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Give up.

As I don't pick up my car until Friday afternoon I have emailed the Dealer and asked them to update the software beforehand.

OK, mine's a late September build - and the site says yes but the car says no. This really shouldn't be this difficult. Once I get back from the biz trip I am on the car's going back in to the dealer to get some answers....

I have a Mac and downloaded the latest software update to my usb stick today, just been out to the car and it found it and installed it quickly no problem - so it can't be downloading on a Mac that causes problems. I have a tiny 1Gb usb flash drive, formatted to FAT32.

I have tried two/three different USB's not good, just leaving it now.

My car has a build date of 15th Feb 2013 and have the Pro Media. Do I need to get this updated before I receive the car on Tue?

TBH no, should be fine.

Software update very confusing for me...

Both sites agree on the same updates available UPD3002 which is software version 7.0.75 for a car built after July 2011 (which seemed very early as mine's Nov 2012 BW47) and the actual version on the car is 7.001.005 (which is apparently later anyways!)
