2013 Navi Map Size Question

ajh77 · 04-28-2013, 04:17 PM

So I am downloading the 2013 maps (15gb)

however, the dvd-r is only 4 gb

after expanding it...how can I figure out what files are to go on each disc?

Thank you

They go on a 32gb FAT32 USB flash drive, not a DVD.

Only the CCC Navigation system uses DVDs now.

That makes sense

ok ...what file do I copy to the USB drive?

I have a PKDGB folder...and in that lots of other folders

One other question....the place where I park my car for work is secured...its a secure lot

Can I leave my car running and do the update..or the car must be off with the start/stop button being pressed twice?

Copy everything. You can leave your car running. Doesn't take long. If you start it before leaving home, it might finish by the time you get to work.

I copied PKDGB folder and config file to the USB flash card....plugged it into the USB slot in the middle console and the light on the drive came up but nothing happened...I waited about 10 mins

So then i tried plugging it into the USB port in the glove box...nothing happened

The only folder I did not copy to the USB drive was the BMW_Naivation foler...because when you click that ...the config file and the PKDGB folder comes up

car manufactured 09/2009

why is it not working??

Thank you

Anyone have any ideas as to why its not working?

The current software version on your car may not support map updates via USB. This is quite common, on the 2009 model.
Do you you know which version you currently have?

ajh77 · 04-29-2013, 04:58 PM

I think 2009 USA maps 1.46 something

so if it does not support USB can I copy the files to a DVD?

If so, I did not see and .ISO files in the download there was just

Main folder called: BMW_Naviagtion_2013
then in next folder there was PKDGB folder and config file (so two things)

Where do I find the .ISO files to copy to the DVD's?
