PM'd the config.nfm file to you.

What you describe is exactly what happened when I tried to update to the 2012 maps from the original 2009 maps. USB stick in glovebox was ignored, could see the files if in the slot in the center, but no ability to do the update. I didn't mess around further though and just burned the DVD's - also Sergej said my 9/1/09 build car had the earlier CIC and couldn't be updated by USB.

Since then I'd had the car to the dealer for something else in late September and as part of that work they updated the car's software.

So I don't know if my success was due to the software update at the dealer or due to the 2012 maps. If someone reminds me where to look I'll pull any software version info I can pull up easily in case it helps.

Flash drive I used was a 32GB USB3.0 Microcenter brand stick I bought for $20 earlier this week. Mac is a Macbook Air with Mountain Lion.
