FSC Code Generator for Nav update No waiting for a PM or "donating"

Here is a very easy FSC code generator that I found in the e90 forums:

https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1453464

..and here in the F30 forum https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1456836

Enjoy! If anyone needs some help, JLMK.

To pull the "open file" needed for the FSC Generator download ZIP LINK:
https://www.e90post.com/forums/attac...5&d=1518522964

1. Unpack the ZIP file (1b.zip) to the root of an empty USB stick (aka. jump, flash or pen drive and/or "stick".
(be sure to use an empty drive and format the drive as FAT32)
2. Power on your car (ignition on is fine, you don't need to start your car) and wait until the navigation system has started completely
3. Put the USB stick in the USB port in the glove box or console, depending on vehicle.
4. Wait for around 30 seconds
5. Remove the USB stick from the port in the glove box and put it in your (windows) computer
6. Check if the file 1b.hex is present on the USB sticK, THIS IS the "OPEN FILE", save this to your computer and point the code generator to it.

Hey BackBlue, tried your instructions above and can't seem to get to get the 1b.hex file to update in my 2014 F31 with NBT. I have the USB port in the console.

Any tips?

I have got the Europe MOVE 2019 Map update file ready to go into my car but need the FSC code.

I have been told that the newest update of Road Map Eurpoe MOVE 2020 has now been seperated into East and West is this correct?

Does anyone have a link where I can download it from, my source has now started charging for it?

Thanks everyone

Hello please tell me something. In the pen drive root we wil have fcb.bat and the 1a.hex that came from the zip?

Or only fsc.bat in the pendrive root before plugging to the USB car port?

I tried several procedures in a 320 2007 and it's not working. Can you help please?

My regards

Jorge

Hey, how did you solved this?? i've got the same issue. no maps on the screen, just a message with "please insert USB device with correct activation code"
i downloaded the latest maps and when inserted the usb, the unit is recognizing it and asking for start update, but next message is the same as before: "please insert USB device with correct activation code"
