Yes you selected 20 instead of 00 (underlined in first post)

So North America Premium 2017-1 Fsc = JELNWNNC6PBXMABNAAUQ
idem Life Time = DZ2AY3SRYQ7TYABNAD7Q
So done.

I tried a few different years just to make sure the lifetime FF wasn't messing it up.

Any help would be appreciated!

Your 1b short file is correct

North America Premium 2017-1 Fsc = 3SCPVVEH2ITYIABNAAUQ
Idem Life Time = 3J2INRKA2KLMIABNAD7Q

So you can verify with the ones you got.

Mostly Torrent file, see at bmwfsc.ca (tab Maps) or:

Has anyone tried to use a PLX Kiwi Wifi to OBD cable vs ethernet? That thing is pretty useless for me now, so perhaps I can convert it to ethernet and chop off the wifi end. Or, k+dcan obd to usb?

Update: I gave up on the PLX Device for this and went with the ethernet to obd adapter. Just plug into your wireless router, wait forever and type in the ip address in the first post. It'll prompt you to login w/out changing any network settings.

Awesome thread, many thanks to everyone who's contributed. Managed to get my file no problem at all, and the code generated worked perfectly.

I got my 1b file and i am able to generate working lifetime code for my own car

Can i use my 1b file to generate fsc codes for other cars than my own?

No

You need the 1b file for each car.

I used IP 160.48.199.98, SM 255.255.255.128, DG 160.48.199.99 for my PC adapter settings. As accurately stated above by Curval, DNS isn't necessary, but I put it anyway as 160.48.199.99 (same as DG). I used ftp://160.48.199.99 in Internet Explorer on Windows XP Professional. My car (2011 335i E90 N55 LCI October 2010 build) did NOT ask for a user ID or password. Make sure you hire a hobbit when connecting the USB adapter to the port in the glovebox because it's hard to plug the darn thing in if you have normal sized hands.

Edit: I was successful to update my navigation maps from 2010 version to 2016 version. I used the FSC.exe package to create my code using the command, "fsc a.hex 0x2D 0x0B > code.txt". 0x2D is for North American Premium and 0x0B was from the 2016.1 info_map.imp file.

Hi,

I am trying to generate the FSC code myself.

I have an E61 from 11/2009. It has CIC and a USB disk with the Europe Premium 2017 maps is recognized and I am asked to input the activation code.

I purchased a cheap USB Ethernet adapter from eBay which has an AX88772A chip on it (recognized by Windows and I opened it, too, confirming the IC).

However, when I connect the USB Ethernet adapter to the USB port in the handglove department and using either straight or crossed ethernet cable, my laptop will say that no cable is connected. This means that the adapter is not recognized by my car.

I tested the USB Ethernet adapter with my laptop and it works ok. Also, as suggested in this thread, I configured the adapter to use 100MBPS Full Duplex instead of AUTO NEGOTIATION.

No success whatsoever. It seems to me that the driver is not installed on my CIC.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Also, how can I confirm the firmware version of CIC?

Basically I tried so far:

1) Using the OBDM cable -> can read the car VIN, but fails to read the data from step 2. This is a known issue.
2) I don't own an ICOM cable (I am just an amateur, doing it for fun - I know I could just buy the FSC code, but there is no fun in it. Also, I live in Portugal and m installed 2014 maps are pretty up to date anyway...)
3) I think the ENET cable won't work in my car.
4) The USB EThernet adapter doesn't work.

Has anyone had success with an E60/E61 from 2009 with CIC?

Regards,
vma

Just tested with a router. No network connectivity at all. The LED for connected cable doesn't even light up. The AX88772A is not supported by the E61 with CIC.

It needs to be an AX88772. Not an AX88772A/B/C (although they use the same drivers, the CIC only recognizes the USB product ID of the original)

But if your CIC was installed at the factory, an ENET cable should work

My computer won't let me run the fsc.exe, keep popping up a Trojan.Gen.2 virus error and quarantining the fsc.exe file. Any one else run into this problem?

Yes. Turn off your AV software.

Hello,

For all E60/E61 owners, since I have not found this on any forum:

I successfully extracted the necessary file out using the ENET adapter. My car was delivered new with CIC. It is from 11/2009. I was not expecting ENET to work, but it did!

I just ordered the cheapest ENET adapter I could find on eBay from China. It cost me 2.79 Euro with free shipping. Took about 3 weeks to arrive.

First test I did was to connect the ENET to my car and the ethernet cable to a spare router, just to check if the connection LED would go on. It did!

Then I connected it with the (straight) ethernet cable directly to my laptop, set the static IP4 settings to IP 169.254.199.98, 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 169.254.199.99. Opened ftp://169.254.199.99 with FIREFOX (IEXPLORER did not work) and was presented with the login window. From here I just followed the instructions as usual.

Note that the Europe West Premium 2017-2 is 0x28 0x2b for the fsc.bat.

Regards,
vma

Hi,

I was now trying to connect to a BMW F30 (2013) using ENET.

I can ping to either 169.254.199.99 or 160.48.199.99 (doing a reboot of the CIC, when changing network settings).

This means that there is a network connection. No packets are lost and all seems OK.

However, as opposed to my E61, on this F30 I have no success opening ftp://169.254.199.99 or ftp://160.48.199.99. I simply get no response.

It seems the CIC is not running any FTP server.

Did this happen to anyone?
Any ideas?

I also have the ASIX USB to Ethernet adapter, but this car seems to only have a USB connector in the middle console. No port on the glove department. I didn't even try it. Is it worth a shot?

Regards,
vma

[M5_1of400]

So.. I got the ENET adapter recommended, I set all the NIC up addresses as stated in the OP, I'm able to ping and hit the FTP but neither of the passwords work...

Any other passwords that I can try?? Or why aren't the passwords in the OP working for me???

I got a 2011 335d in North America any help is appreciated. Thank you.

[vespa]

The last character of the password is a parenthesis which is easily overlooked:
Hm83stN)

AH! I bet you that's what it is... trying again tonight.. thanks for the reply.

[Welcome to NBA Jam]

I did this last night. For some reason, my CIC's IP address switched to a different network and I was unable to log into it. Randomly after 10 minutes, it rebooted and went back to 169.254.199.99.

I used WinSCP to snag the file, and I generated a lifetime FSC code without a problem using OP's instructions. I could not log into the directory tree through Chrome; I had to use WinSCP.

I'm all set up and good to go with 2017-1 maps

Phew!

Updating your CIC map on a BMW:

I was able using this method to extract the 1b file and then generate the FSC Code. Thanks a lot for your help and all this usefull information

2. Opened Tftpd64 application and did the following:

* Went to DCHP tab
* Set IP pool start address to: 192.168.0.2
* Set size of pool to: 10
* Set default router to: 192.168.0.1
* Set mask to: 255.255.255.0
* Pressed "OK" button
* Selected 192.168.0.1 (ethernet connection) from the "Server interfaces" dropdown

3. I then connected the ethernet to ODB2 cable to the car and started the car engine.
4. I pressed and held down the radio power/volume button for 30 seconds
5. The iDrive screen restarted
6. I then noticed that the tftp32 application indicated that it had assigned 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3
7. I visited ftp://192.168.0.2/ in my web browser and was promoted for a username and password
8. I entered "root" and "Hm83stN)" and logged in successfully.
9. I then downloaded the file in question.

I'm now about to try getting the part I need using a hex editor. Will let you know how I get on.

Can these fsc codes be used to activate navi, voice, and video like the emulators? Iv been looking everywhere

No, but if your CIC is on the latest version (1A), then you can use the CIC patcher to allow you to create and sign your own FSCs for everything.
