Ps download of a script on page 12 here, it will get the file needed from CIC so no need to buy a cable any more! Not used it myself but speaking to someone else on here re map updates they used this script and loaded new maps in past few days with no issues

Yep it worked a treat, found it quite straight forward, even though this stuff is all very new to me.

If you did want cable still then yes enet cable should be ok on most lci e9x models, will only talk to cic though, can't do other stuff

Balls! Already ordered an enet cable... oh well... script way is orob easier, will check it out thanks a lot!

Stuck these maps on my E92 tonight, thanks for the link (and to undecided1 for the 0x28 0x2D code).

I managed to update to USB 1, it asks for USB 2 which I insert (correct files) but just sits on the insert 2 screen. Anyone else have this issue?

Have you got the config.nfm and pkgdb in the root directory

Anybody merged the 3 x USB version into a 1 USB version?

From looking at previous 1 x USB versions, you simply have to copy all the files to one location?

As I need the disks to update my 09 335i, is anyone that has burnt the disks willing to send them to me when you are done(US Postal)? I wasted a lot of time trying to get the 17-1 downloads to work and finally gave up. I have no issues reimbursing you for your costs as well.

Is it simply a case of copying each USB data to a DVD?

My problem is the download part. Spotty internet here when downloading.. I downloaded the files for 17-1 3 times and each time it was corrupt for some unknown reason and a couple times it was like 12kb into the download and said complete, after 4 hours when it was an incomplete file.

I have 2018-1 all downloaded. I can post discs to you no problem. I assume the contents of the DVDs is the same as the USB?

As far as I know, all the same.
Many thanks! Need anything from Germany?
Another idea, I can send you a USB stick and you can send it back or I can pay you for the USB stick and burn them myself. Let me know what is easier for you.

Hi, I have the files but when I insert the usb, nothing seems to happen on the screen! It’s formatted as fat32, I’ve got the usb 1 files at the root of the usb drive... anyone know what I might be doing wrong?! I’m using a Mac and I’ve deleted hidden files on the usb drive but I’m wondering if I’ve missed something

Some usb sticks have an extra partition and can be troublesome, maybe try a different stick? Or retry file copy/make sure definitely using glovebox usb etc

can nayone help? i got and made the 319 byte a.hex file, confused on the next step to get the fsc code...

have tried searching but it's taking too long as each post has different methods...

I have the 319 byte a.hex file - what's next?

You'll need fsc.exe to generate map codes (or another program with the same capabilities), I guess you got this from whatever guide you followed to get your 319 byte a.hex?

If so put fsc.exe somewhere easy to find (eg put it in a "1b" folder on c:\ so c:\1b) then open cmd prompt (if you're on windows 7 or newer click start button - type cmd in search box at bottom, wait for cmd.exe to appear at top of search list - right click cmd.exe and select 'run as administrator' to rule out any potential UAC issues), navigate to where you put fsc.exe (if you put it in c:\1b just type cd c:\1b to get to that folder. Type the below to get map code output to a text file named code.txt (code.txt will appear in the folder you put fsc.exe in, ie c:\1b in our example):

fsc a.hex 0x28 0x2D > code.txt

0x28 0x2D is the code for this 2018-1 map



For anyone not sure how to get to the 319 byte a.hex file stage:
1. Open the file in a hex editor like Hxd http://mh-nexus.de/downloads/HxDSetupEN.zip
2. Press CTRL-F to search, change the search mode to "Hex" and then search for "01 01 00 1B”
3. Highlight and delete everything prior to "01 01 00 1B”
4. Go to line (offset) 130 and delete the last block and everything after. The data to be deleted should begin with "3F 01"
5. Save the file as "a.hex", which should be exactly 319 bytes

Thanks p-dawg!
It works fine.
