If your car has undergone the big BMW upgrade you should be fine and can proceed to pull the 1b file using your usb plug in your glove compartment. Alternatively you can also do the firmware upgrade yourself if you have the files at hand.

OK so for those of us with early build LCI cars that have never been updated, what's the consensus-best way to go about it? Not only am I still on the 2009 maps version, but I'm prevented from doing a combox upgrade or basically anything else without that firmware update. Can't really find anything in searches that points to a solution for those of us with 2009-2010 model cars.
