BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - DYI: Easiest way to get 1b file and generate FSC codes for CIC navi map update

trjn · 05-31-2018, 05:29 PM

This thread gave me hope that I could finally update the maps in my car.

Tried 5 USB sticks(format each to FAT32) and still no 1b.hex file in the drive from the glovebox USB. Tried different combinations of inserting the USB, starting the car, just have the ignition ON, wait for 30 seconds to 5 minutes. None worked.

Going to try more USB sticks. But I have a sinking feeling that USB port may be bad. I will try to remove the glovebox and see if I can check for the broken wires/ports. Will also try to put one song in a USB and see if I can import it.

I had tried to get the 1b file via USB to ethernet adapter described in another thread with various adapters(all recommended model in that thread) and non worked. No connection/link lights at all.

FYI, 09 E92 with factory CIC and original firmware. Never updated the firmware or the maps.
