GraceNote Database
Dear all -
As you are probably aware, owners of the F30 are able to display the track/album/artiste name on your CIC when you pop in a CD. This is made possible because of music track identification technology (using data associated with the music tracks) created by the company Gracenote. The Gracenote DB is about 4GB large and resides on the HDD of your CIC.This DB needs to be updated so that it can recognise the latest CDs. The DB is user upgradeable (via a menu on the CIC) but i have not been able to find the latest DB for BMW cars. Any idea where i can get the latest DB for BMWs? |

I asked my Service Adviser about this when I bought the car. He had no early idea how the db would be updated in the future.

Clearly, the service menu described in previous posts means the database is indeed updatable. But I feel sure the only way we are ever going to know how to do it is when someone posts instructions online. Those will either be how to do it yourself or, more probably, what to tell the dealer service person to look up/research/open a PUMA case about.

There is some interesting info in this (rather old) document.
After looking around, I discovered that both Honda and Mitsubishi offer online downloads of Gracenote database updates. Pity BMW doesn't. And, it turns out the dealer SHOULD have an update (probably on USB for our cars). I sure hope other posters chime in soon with what they had to tell the service people to do to get them to find these updates. Even better, I hope someone posts an update for it. It would be trivial to go into the service menu and update the database.

Link to an image showing the dvd:
http://sv.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=9...8#.U7O4L4XarMJ I have not managed to find the disc myself. I think my cars are too new for it to be interesting. But it does exist. Last edited by Micleg; 07-02-2014 at 03:11 AM.. Reason: Correct link |

Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format.

If F30 has CIC Head Unit, then yes. If F30 has NBT Head Unit, then no.

Look at the Interface, and visually CIC and NBT are different:
Or go to Map Version info screen, and if it shows PREMIUM Map, it is CIC, and if it shows NEXT Map, it is NBT.

Write the Content.xml file and the Gracenote folder to DVD, and update via the CIC hidden Service Menu.
The Root of DVD should be as follows: \Content.xml <file> \Gracenote <dir>
