HOW TO UPDATE
In vehicles that require manually updating your navigation's map data, the process is simple and no BMW coding software or programming is required. The map data is loaded to a USB flash drive which can be plugged in to the USB port in your BMW's glove compartment (in older vehicles with the CIC iDrive system) or arm rest (in newer vehicles).
The system will automatically detect that there is a new map available to install on the iDrive. You'll be prompted to enter a BMW-issued FSC activation code with your iDrive controller to begin installation. Everything is done through the USB port, meaning you won't need to use any BMW coding software. We will provide you with the USB Drive and FSC Activation code.
The navigation map update process is effortless and straightforward.
It may take about 5–30 minutes depending on when your last update was carried out.
With the new USB update, you can update the entire map material for your BMW navigation system with just one click and do not have to decide on individual regions or countries.
