I didn't mess around further though and just burned the DVD's - also Sergej said my 9/1/09 build car had the earlier CIC and couldn't be updated by USB.

Since then I'd had the car to the dealer for something else in late September and as part of that work they updated the car's software.

So I don't know if my success was due to the software update at the dealer or due to the 2012 maps. If someone reminds me where to look I'll pull any software version info I can pull up easily in case it helps.

Flash drive I used was a 32GB USB3.0 Microcenter brand stick I bought for $20 earlier this week. Mac is a Macbook Air with Mountain Lion.
Sounds like you had your car's software updated by the dealer and that is probably why most 2009 cars work with the USB drive. I have a 4/29/2009 build car and was able to update using the USB. I had my car's software updated last year and I updated from my original 2009 map.
