Ok so I tried to do this update but so far no dice! The car doesn't seem to see
the USB key. At first I thought that maybe the key itself wasn't formatted correctly. So I reformatted it to MSDos(FAT) and again copied the files from the torrent download to it. I followed the rest of the instructions; insert key into glovebox, start car, but after the navi boots nothing happens ~ no FSC message. Am I doing something wrong? My car: 09 E91, build date July/09. |

I'm stumped.
First plan of action: find a PC machine and reformat the key again to FAT32. Disk Utility in OSX formats to MSDos(FAT), maybe there is a variation and that's the problem... I'll report back.. |

Thanks Babyblue.
Well, still no go.. Here is my experience step by step: 1. I reformatted the key to FAT32 and copied over the files from the download. (config.nfm + pkgdb folder) 2. Plugged key into glovebox usb slot. The LED on the usb key flashes for about 5 seconds and then stops ~ I guess it's getting power or trying to read. 3. Turned car to accessory mode. (start, start) 4. Idrive fired up and I got the nav disclaimer, 10 secs later it loaded up. ..And that's it, no FSC code prompt....So the only thing I can think of is: 1. USB drive I bought is crap. 2. Currently the car has the original maps from 2009 and won't take an update jump to 2013? ...Kinda bummed ..haha..If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears! |

Its a trip to the dealer for you,the firmware of your cic unit is probably to old and is not playing nice with your new maps or you may have to start with 2010 then 2011,2012 and finally 2013 try an older map and see if it will take,if not then the dealer it is. |

Does the 3D feature work only in some areas?
Are we able to see were the speed traps and read light cameras are with this usb update? Is this only available with the dvd version and were to find it? |

3D *maps* work everywhere (terrain). 3D *skyline* views (buildings) only work in certain major cities. This update is maps only, so there are no additional features, including red light cameras or speed traps.

This could be it. The prompt to start the navigation update does take a bit after iDrive is fully booted. You might not be waiting long enough. Alternately, you can try starting the car first, waiting until everything is fully up and running for a bit, and *then* insert the USB drive. It's still not instantaneous though. Make sure you wait a full minute before declaring a failure. |

Going to transfer the files to a pc, reformat the drive on the pc and copy them over again. See how that works out.

everything to do with the fact that I torrented onto a Mac, and transfered the files from the Mac onto the FAT32 key.. Next attempt will be to put the torrented files onto a PC, reformat the key again on the PC and then transfer them back on. I bet something happens to the files (especially the .nfm) on OSX and makes them unexecutable when plugging into the CIC usb port.. The saga continues! It's a bit frustrating, but kind of fun too!

**Also be sure to strip out any proprietary product on the flash itself, if it has any encryption tools etc.., a Mac or any other OS will not arbitrarily change a file while transferring, or downloading, it is simply carrying out instruction to copy to your HD then to transfer it

config.nfm pkgdb (folder) Directly into the root of the USB? They have to be copied that way, otherwise it wont ready it. Those two files cannot be inside a folder, just in the root... Last edited by scanepa; 12-05-2012 at 04:56 PM.. |

Hi Guys, I updated the maps with an FSC code form Sergej and and USB drive (data downloaded from a torrent provided by Sergej also), everything went well but now, every time i start the car (iDrive in Navi screen) i get this message:
"Error! Address not in navigation data" They i press ok and everything works just fine... But it is very annoying to the this message there every time. Has anybody experience this? I don't know what must be going on... Thx |
