First things first, you need to get the latest map data and an FSC code.

For the map data you really just need to google the one that you're looking for and you'll find a link. For North America you'll be looking for "2016-1 North America Next".

As for the FSC, if you have coding stuff like I do you can extract the FSC files and generate your own code, but its honestly a pain in the ass to get working right and for the low cost of a lifetime FSC I would recommend you just pay for one.

This is where I got mine from:


I found it while searching around and I was surprised how fast this I got my code back. Worked perfectly for my update.

Now that you have the data and the FSC you will need a 32GB flash drive to put all of this stuff on. Make sure you format the flash drive as FAT32, then load the data from your download.

Once that's done go plug your flash drive into the USB port on your center console, this will appear:



Click start update and enter in your FSC code:



Now you wait, the ignition will need to be on, I recommend doing the update while you're driving around.



After some time you'll see this:



And you're done!:

Thanks

Thank for the post, is it applicable to all F33 cars as well, think I have read somewhere that some versions of EVO maps can't be updated via usb?

EVO ID4 uses the same CODE activation method.
EVO ID5/6 is updated with FSC file in USB.

all maps are updated via USB, just for EVO you need a FSC file, not the actual code.
