I took my car to that dealer and they had it for about 2 hours. In that time they verified that all of my software was already up to date but had not yet been activated. Hmmm. Sounds a bit odd to me (I'm not sure how you update firmware on anything without activating it/using it) but I go with it in the hopes that it will work and I can buy an FSC code and be happy.
If you have the nav maps on the iDrive screen you should have a little window that shows the number of bars for your phone. If you push the iDrive controller down, does the window disappear and reappear if you push the idrive controller down again?

If so, you probably already have the updated CIC firmware. If not, you probably need the CIC firmware updated before you can do the USB update.
