Standard commute for me. The update will stop when the power's cut off and it will ask you to restart it once you turn the car on again. Nav will restart after it's uploaded and you're good to go.

Great thread. First post. Downloaded maps to usb stick, paid Sergej and updated navigation. It worked great. Now I can see the street I live on. Dealership wanted $325 to update maps so the forum saved me some $$.

Just updated and DRACON supplied me the FSC code.
Great communication and he's very fast. He has the maps available for you, but I already had mine from a torrent a while back. Would recommend! |

Question, how do you know which version of the firmware is on the vehicle? Where are you able to retrieve that yourself or is that a dealer visit type of thing? |

cruzine: I believe someone said earlier in the thread that if you can press the idrive knob and cause the gray status overlay window to go away your software is updated. I didn't know about it before mine had been updated, so can't verify.
You could also download the torrent, put it on a stick, plug it in, and see if the car recognizes it. If it asks for an FSC code you're good to go, if not then you need to update (or you goofed up the process)... |

I completed the update while driving - took about an hour, but it was a seamless installation. |

So how are retailers (often sketchy looking) getting the FSC codes anyway? I assume none of this is technically legal and they've cracked the authentication methods. The fact that some are willing to provide the maps data as well (copyrighted intellectual property, illegal to transfer) leads me to believe that they're profiting off of piracy.
Also, I'm rather curious what they're charging for these codes.

Can someone please PM me the torrent address for the 2013 CIC map updates? I want to test that my car will take the update before I pay for an FSC code.
Thanks, Tommyudo |

First off, thanks to those who made this post happen! I'm trying to download the file via the torrent but it's going at a SLOW 3K/s. If anyone has any other way to get the file to me, I will then keep it seeded here at my office. (I can give you an FTP address or whatever you prefer). I'm a Network Admin and have direct access to our 200Mbps connection. :-) If not, I'll just wait the "11 weeks" and then do so, LOL....course it'll probably end up not being seeded at all by then :-(
Thanks again! Just got into the world of BMWs last week and hope to be around this site more often! |

- iLevel.iLevelBackup - I-stage DO - I-stage Plant I presume "I-stage DO" is what's currently installed on the car, is that correct? |

I mean seriously, what's your time worth not to mention the questionable ethics/legality of this method. |
