I have a 2010 E92 with a 12/09 build date.
I was able to update directly to the 2019 NA Premium using a USB stick and the file I downloaded from the web. I now have the new data and the new 45 degree map views. It updates the navigation system, not just the map data. However, I was not able to get the activation code to extract from my vehicle using the tool. It repeatedly gave me a code that was incorrect and never extracted the correct VIN from the car. Our cars (from this manufacture period) did not have the VIN programmed into the system where the tool can get it. I was able to get the activation code from someone that can do it using only the VIN number of the car (like the Dealer does) and I paid a few $ to get it. You can find several on e-Bay that will provide the code and give you a direct link to the map data so that you do not have to spend hours getting the data from a random site.

At the first download of the "b1.zip", the file contains a folder with name "b1". Into the folder are a sample "b1.hex" file and "fsc.bat"
I was unzipped the b1.zip to diverse USB sticks, FAT32, FAT16, NTFS, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB..., nothing works. I was thinked, i am too stupid. Into the thread, i saw files ("copie_scr.sh" and "instructions.txt") that are not into the b1.zip file that i was downloaded. I was downloaded the "b1.zip" file again, now it contains the right files!!! The right b1.zip filesize is 30kb, the false b1.zip filesize is 1kb. After the right download, all tested USB sticks were worked fine. |

As a clarification, I was able to get the extraction program to work, the data it is trying to extract from my car was simply not programmed into cars built during my car's period.
The program would extract the file and I was able to open the file and read it. My car's VIN was not in the file and the resulting unlock code would not work. I spoke to the program creator and he confirmed that cars from my period were not supported without manually entering additional data into the file extracted by the program. |

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. |

This method worked perfectly for me. Thank you!
Updated my 2009 M3 maps from original maps to NA Premium 2019. The lifetime code from the FSC generator worked too so hopefully I won't have to do that again. |

Thanks to Portaleso and Jaeger. I followed the instructions as written by both and it worked flawlessly.
I purchased the Ma update from eBay for $10 less my $0.43 eBay Bucks. I only was able to find Premium 2019. I did generate a supposed lifetime code so I will see when the 2019-2 maps come out and are cheaper, if it works. |

This worked flawlessly for me!!! Two fat32 usb sticks, the fsc generator (on Mac btw), the 2019 premium map download, 1b.hex retrieval and I am good to go!!! EVERYTHING worked for me on the very first try. Only thing was leaving he car on for about an hour for the update to complete. I have a 2011 535i m sport and did the install through the glovebox with one usb (the other was to retrieve the 1b.hex file).

Quick note of thanks: after looking at this thread for a few years I finally took the plunge and did this last week updating to the 2019 maps in my 2010 e90. A few fits & starts, but ultimately this was an extremely helpful guide. Thanks for putting this together.

Please clarify. Thank you Quote:

USB Size? HELP! lol
I can't get the torrent file to run through my USB in my glove compartment.
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? Is there a step by step process, or should it automatically start downloading? I have a 8 GB USB I am using for the small torrent file. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

This is insane! lol
Maybe its because I am downloading the 2019 maps and not the 2018. Is there not a way for people to just share the 2 files that need to go onto the USB to plug into your car instead of downloading for days if not weeks? I am even willing to pay a couple dollars to not have to wait. |

I have to be missing something, there is no way everyone that wants to update their maps is waiting a whole week just for download and unpack the 2 files to put on the USB??
Still in the process of downloading the 2019 torrent file, using webtorrent (which will take weeks!) I haven't even started unpacking which I assume takes up more time to unpack the files to get to the 2 files required using WinRAR. Am I doing this wrong? Can someone please help me, I just really want to get the 2 files onto my USB so I can do this 2019 update already. |

A 20 GB (Giga Bytes) file is about 171,798,691,840 bits (1 byte = 8 bits). Download time will depend on your internet speed as well as other factors (network congestion, torrent device capacity, etc). Assuming no congestion, then estimated times to download a 20 GB file at selected internet speeds are given below: 100 Mbps ~30 minutesTo speed things up, download to the hard drive of your computer (not to the USB), then unpack to the hard drive (up to 10 minutes depending on speed of computer). Once unpacked, copy the contents to the root of the USB drive. Also, if downloading 2019 maps, make sure you've generated the correct FSC Code for 2019 (or alternatively, generated a Lifetime code) Last edited by bcoz; 04-21-2019 at 10:35 PM.. |
