My November 15 build Mini has Media XL which is essentially the same as pro navigation in the F3x. The maps have never been updated from their initial EUROPE EVO 2015-3.

For some reason unlike BMW Connected, you can't simply buy and download an updated map from the official Mini Connected site. You have to visit a dealer. I have requested a price for this, but it's almost bound to be ridiculous as it will include a labour charge while someone stands around watching it slowly update! Not sure why they make this more complicated with Mini than BMW.

Where can I download the latest EVO map, and is it likely to work without an FSC code? If it needs a code I would prefer to buy it than have to interrogate the car via a laptop.

Thanks

There's a few sites knocking about that you can torrent the map off. I just did ours a month or so ago. Ours is less than 3 years old currently though, I believe once past that date you'll need a FSC code.

Just one word of advice, don't pull the stick out too soon at the end like I did first time round. Thought it had finished when it hadn't and had to wait another 45 mins!

Try Simon at Bavarian coding.
He can probably sell you a lifetime FSC map update code & provide a link for the map download. It will be cheaper than going to Mini.
