I don't know I have USB in glovebox. I just tried center console USB (where I connect my iPod) and nothing happened when I turn on my M.

Yep, the glovebox usb port is for updating maps and loading music unto the internal hard drive of the navigation unit. Can't use the center console USB to do those things.

I formatted my 32gb USB to fat32 and saved all files (1 file + 1 big folder). And plugged into USB in glovebox. Then fired up but nothing happened. What do I need to do??
(Mine is 2011 x5m built in 2010. Nav version is 2010) |

I'm trying to determine whether or not i need the firmware upgrade by going to the Nav screen and toggling to the Info in the top right corner. Only problem is I don't see that in the top right corner? Can anyone provide info on this method? I've tried split/full screen while in nav but nothign is there except for my Phone signal.

Based on the previous messages, if you need to get a USB stick, grab a Sandisk or a Lexar (BMW uses Lexar for their USB media). |

Did you extract the archive? Use your favorite archiver program (7Zip, WinRAR, WinZIP) and extract the 7z.001 file. It'll decompress into a folder and you'll find config.nfm and pkgdb inside.

Any car built after 09/09 shouldn't require a software update in order to update maps. Also, what maps did you download and put on the USB? Business (Motion/CIC-MID) requires a different map than Professional (Premium/CIC-HIGH). |

You can choose the torrent file or magnet link, it all leads to the same place. Make sure you extract the archive first (using WinZIP or 7Zip) then copy config.nfm and pkgdb to a 32gb FAT32 formatted USB stick. |

Hi All,
I have downloaded the software and I need the FSC code. However, my E90Post account is so brand new that I cannot PM anyone. Will someone (or Dracon) please PM me on the process of getting the FSC code? Appreciated!!! |

I download the business(motion), I have a small screen. And do you know why the screen doesn't display all version information? I saw a lot of people display all infermation in two lines, not like mine. |

I have a 2010 e92. Couldn't get the USB port to accept the USB so ended up burning a DVD.
I was asked for the fsc code. Everything downloaded fine but after reboot I am stuck with a " starting navigation system" message. I took the car in today to get a firmware update. Hopefully this will sort the problem. I hope I didn't brick the CIC. I will know next week... I advise everyone to try to plug a USB in the glovebox before proceeding. If it doesn't work have a firmware upgrade first. Don't believe the posts that tell you that a car produced after 2009 will update automatically. |

Did you leave the USB stick in the glove box USB for a while, like couple of minutes? It takes a while before the system will prompt you for FCC code and let you know that newer maps have been found. |
