DON'T PAY BMW PRICES - How to Download and Install BMW Map Updates

[@A.Design.1]

Since it takes more than 20min, here's hint: Buckle driver side seatbelt to prevent iDrive from going to sleep mode

[@SuperPussyFinger]

Clutch tip. Thanks for sharing this gem.

[@01wizmiles01]

Will this update erase my old directory history

[@carlocarnevali7790]

What if BMW finds out I didn't pay for them when I need service? Will they refuse to help?

[@boostedmedia]

There’s no way for them to tell. It’s still a genuine activation.

[@serviola3]

Thanks for the video. How can we get the Code?

[@FEARGODRevelations14v7]

I was quoted $450 bucks to update the navigation map to North America (2019) for my 2011 328i Xdrive! 😤 What a freaking rip off! For that price, that map update better lead me to a pot of gold.😂 By the way, - HELL NO! I didnt get the update from BMW🤯.

[@LorG410]

Vladimir SMirnoff I have the exact same year and car but I have the m sport package they will probably add 200 just for that😂😂

[@TheBimmerMan]

G don’t think there would be a difference between the maps on the normal cars (SE, Sportline etc) the the M Sportpaket cars

[@ericastier1646]

Bmw are assh as a company. In France all car manufacturers nav map updates are free and no hassle, it's all on the manufacturer website, no third party involved. Since Bmw wants to rip off people i understand why people will circumvent and screw bmw to get the update free.

[@tomvleeuwen]

For anyone that has the CIC system, note that you need to put the USB drive in the socket in the glove compartment, not the socket next to the aux socket.

[@jerrybomcool]

What if I don’t have a USB in my glove box? That parts got a blank for me

[@tomvleeuwen]

Is the CIC original or retrofitted? Maybe someone forgot to retrofit the USB socket? Or you actually have NBT or Champ2 and can use the normal USB socket.

[@jerrybomcool]

@@tomvleeuwen It's NBT, Got it wrong. but its factory NBT and no USB in the glove box, only 1 in the arm rest

[@ericalfred2875]

Worked very well. I first overlooked how you advised how to open rar. files. After I looked at the video again; all good!!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@A.Design.1]

Windows OS, uses some memory USB stick as "Local Drive" (it makes hidden backup files on stick), make sure that turn off that feature, and re-format usb stick

[@sophieking8781]

I have a BMW 2015 2 Series, running EUROPE ROUTE WEST maps dated 2015. When I put the USB in, nothing happens. I have copied the files to the root of the stick, nothing happens

[@ericastier1646]

did you format the USB stick to fat32 format first ?

[@perakojot6524]

You are lucky with Australia/NZ Next maps since they are one folder that easily fits 32GB USB stick. With Europe Next maps there are 5 folders in total larger than 32GB. So you can either buy a 64GB stick or use 32GB stick where you don't have all the folder but lets say first 4, and then when NBT requires the 5th one, you can delete one of the previous 4 folders and put a 5th one on the stick, reinsert the stick and continue.

Fine and where is the FSC Code?

[@dabobnkill272]

Ebay, about 10$ usd

[@nes286]

Hi I just purchased a 2012 BMW X5. My navigation version is a 2011 North America, There is no Next or NBT_L15184A. I ordered a Map and received an FSC code, and instructions. First issue is finding a flash drive that is 64gb 2.0 usb FAT32 (tried formatting software to be able to convert enfat to fat32). The instructions send me to a site where I can download the 2022 Updated map. At this point I am not sure if my current software has the capability to be updated. Any advice would be great.

[@nes286]

Update sorry for delay. I was able to finally configure a flashdrive Hp 2gb to FAT32. I plugged into my USB in the Glove compartment (X5,) and was able to add the FSC code and it downloaded perfectly. Looking to Update to Map to 2023, any recommendations where to locate the map download?

[@KomotiniRealEstate]

anyone can help me? how can i update maps ( europe ) for my BMW 525d model 2009

How did you solve this pls?

[@the_batmobile0.4]

Damn mine took 27 minutes, was 29gb tho

[@sathishsuganya2013]

My 64GB USB stick not deducting on my BMW to update the map, I have tried to formate the Fat32 and some other formates which is supported by BMW but none other deducting on my dash, But I'm sure its not the USB problem because i have used the same one to update the map by using download manager but i have got the map outside now.

[@mrqbrown01]

I watched the video but I feel like all he did was update his version of maps. He didn't really do what he suggested in his title. I guess that's how it goes sometimes.

[@tng6628]

As my understanding, the speed limit comes from the Speed Limit street signs. The car must have camera where it can reads those and displays the speed limit to you. the navigation alone will not be able to give you the speed limit numbers.
