The guides say to use the Rev.1b from memory which is grey. I couldn't get this to work however.
If your CIC is not retrofitted; use one of these http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/311485647433 I had no issues accessing the relevant file with this. |

I was able to download my 1b file today using a USB Ethernet adapter plugged into the USB port in the glovebox method. I used a TrendNet TU2-ET100 USB Ethernet adapter which has the ASIX AX88772A chipset (important). I picked it up from my local Frys for $12.99. I used IP 160.48.199.98, SM 255.255.255.128, DG 160.48.199.99 for my PC adapter settings. As accurately stated above by Curval, DNS isn't necessary, but I put it anyway as 160.48.199.99 (same as DG). I used ftp://160.48.199.99 in Internet Explorer on Windows XP Professional. My car (2011 335i E90 N55 LCI October 2010 build) did NOT ask for a user ID or password. Make sure you hire a hobbit when connecting the USB adapter to the port in the glovebox because it's hard to plug the darn thing in if you have normal sized hands.
Edit: I was successful to update my navigation maps from 2010 version to 2016 version. I used the FSC.exe package to create my code using the command, "fsc a.hex 0x2D 0x0B > code.txt". 0x2D is for North American Premium and 0x0B was from the 2016.1 info_map.imp file.

Hi, first of all, thank you for all of the information posted in this thread. I have had success following these instructions 3 times now when updating to the 2016-1 maps. Yesterday I tried the same exact procedure when connecting to a 2013 e92 M3 and could not access the cars computer. I verified all settings multiple times and double checked all of my connections but nothing worked. I then took my computer without changing any configurations over to a 2011 135i and it prompted me for the username and password immediately. I was able to perform the update without a hitch. I am using the method with an E-net cable.
Any ideas why I would have difficulty connecting to the 2013 M3? All cars have CIC. Each car that I have had success with has been a 2011 build. Appreciate your help in advance |

I swear I have the worst of every possible coding situation with my 2010 model year CIC.... Okay, I've done coding before with my Pre-LCI E93, but when I tried to use the enet adapter (as linked in the eBay link OP posted and same as what a poster a few responses above had bought in the UK), I have no connection. Windows is showing the network adapter as not plugged in. I've tried MANY things including the following and looking for any advice.
1. Checked resistance, shows roughly 499 to 503 ohms. A. I desoldered the resistor and used a pot I set to anywhere form 510 to 540 and it did not help. 2. Possible JB4 CANBUS interference? A. I set to option 0-0 (Default map). B. I even disconnected the JB4 from the ECU! 3. Cable bad/incorrect? A. I tried multiple Cat5/6 cables I had at home. Verified with both straight through and crossover cables. Nothing worked. Through all of this, I verified I can use my regular coding cable and access the OBD port. In all of this, with Windows Firewall and Anti-Virus all disabled, my ethernet port (on THREE LAPTOPS; 2 Dell, 1 MBP) all did not detect a cable being plugged in. I tried setting to 10, 100, 1,000, and Auto settings. I've updated/downgraded drivers on the Dells. WiFi was turned off on all of them as well. I verified the pins (continuity tester) were wired properly by the Chinese manufacturer. Ground is to the RJ45 metal jacket of the adapter, which I don't think matters since the ethernet cables are all plastic sleeved. Even the ones with the cables pre-fabbed have plastic sleeves, so the ground seems to be irrelevant. That said, I've tried to ground that jacket to chassis ground as well. (I'm serious when I said I tried everything I could think of) Battery was just swapped (and properly coded as a 90ah AGM version). I even tried this with the engine running. And yes, while not running, this was done with the "2nd push" mode, SES light on, all others off. ANY ideas would be appreciated. That or if there's someone in the Northern NJ area that would be willing to try and connect with their setup and let me know if I'm the crazy one or if something's wrong with my setup/car, I would appreciate it.

I would appreciate it. I'll PM you when I know I have some time to meet up. Had a small scare with my iPhone OBD scanner (GoPoint), but it turned out my iPhone itself needed a hard restart. I tried with my laptop and the ENET adapter, thinking MAYBE it'll work now, but still no go.
Per Einstein, I'm probably going insane... Doing the same things over and over again expecting different results... |

Twin, use a regular cable, not crossover and test the setup by connecting to your router. You might have a bad connection at the OBD port or some problem with the ethernet wiring to the CIC. In either case the best solution would be to use the USB adapter method instead.

I may end up going the USB route, but trying to figure out if I have other issues that will prevent me from doing this regardless of interface method. Shouldn't be having this problem with a 2010 CIC (Original, not retrofit). |

So, apparently I have one of those "special" models... Build date of 11/09, E93, original CIC, (Nav Map 1.4.6 2009-2).
I got the USB-Ethernet adapter, Didn't get the gray D-Link everyone else got ($20+). Instead got the UtechSmart USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN wired Network Adapater for Wii, Wii U, Macbook, blah blah blah on Amazon for $9.99 (Free Prime 1 day available) and no tax (in NJ). Important thing was the ASIX AX88772 chipset and this has it. Anyone who's local and wants the OBD-Ethernet Adapter, just buy me a McD Happy Meal. I'm sure it's fine and works, just not on my build, even though the Tx/Rx/ETH-a wiring is all on the OBD port from the CIC. Link light came on right away. Had issues connecting to the FTP IP as instructed in that "other link" the OP posted. After some more digging, it turned out my special CIC required a different IP setup: IP: 10.250.89.98 SN: 255.255.255.128 GW: 160.48.199.99 DNS: 160.48.199.99 FTP to 10.250.89.2 This allowed me to get WinSCP to connect with an anonymous login. If you get a prompt for username/password, try the anonymous route. The U/P provided in the other site didn't work for me (again). Once I got that far, it's been smooth sailing. Here's an interesting kicker though and I'm not done loading the new maps (on USB 1 as I type this). When doing the FSC code, I tried 0x08 and 0x09 to try and load my 2015-1 and 2016-1 maps. Invalid. I then said screw it, it's out of warranty, whoever else buys it from me years from now won't know what to do, and I really don't want to bother with this again in case my BMW specific laptop crashes one day. I decided to do the 0xFF lifetime command line. Now, AFTER I entered the fsc code in the CIC and it accepted it, I realized I used 0xDD! I did the command line again with 0xFF and it definitely outputs a different code so... I'm assuming there's a certain threshold where it just says "lifetime". FF is 255. DD is 221. I'm up to USB 2 now. Let's see if my luck holds up as I've read that late '09/early '10 CICs have a unique bug that crashes the update at 93% or so. I'm either going to sleep pissed or a happy camper in an hour from now. For those that don't want to Google, the 93% bug fix is a firmware update of the CIC which can only be done by dealer or ICOM. Some fortunate few may have had a dealer update it during service at some point due to recalls/TSBs for the N54. Crossing my fingers. Last edited by TwinTurboRacer; 03-05-2016 at 12:49 AM.. |

It worked with 0xDD!!! Got so excited I went for a drive last night and had fun with the JB4 tune as well.
Hope my writeup/addendum helps others who are having issues getting this done. DaZuc, really appreciate the offer. In the same spirit, if anyone local needs some assistance as well, let me know. |

These adapter that you put on the example is valid for bmw e90 pre-lci with cic retrofit with emulator? On the tittle say that is for F series.
