1. I reformatted the key to FAT32 and copied over the files from the download. (config.nfm + pkgdb folder)
2. Plugged key into glovebox usb slot. The LED on the usb key flashes for about 5 seconds and then stops ~ I guess it's getting power or trying to read.
3. Turned car to accessory mode. (start, start)
4. Idrive fired up and I got the nav disclaimer, 10 secs later it loaded up.
..And that's it, no FSC code prompt....So the only thing I can think of is:
1. USB drive I bought is crap.
2. Currently the car has the original maps from 2009 and won't take an update jump to 2013?
...Kinda bummed ..haha..If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears!

It sounds like you're doing all the right steps.

This could be it. The prompt to start the navigation update does take a bit after iDrive is fully booted. You might not be waiting long enough. Alternately, you can try starting the car first, waiting until everything is fully up and running for a bit, and *then* insert the USB drive. It's still not instantaneous though. Make sure you wait a full minute before declaring a failure.
