Map Update... how long?
I just finished up the retrofit in my car and have figured out that the maps are from 2011. I double checked and I have the circle with a check mark in the lower left corner of the map and I believe that means I can update the maps via the USB port in the glove box.
I've pulled down the 2019 NA Map update and am in the process of acquiring a 32gb usb to put it on. I've also pulled the 1b hex from the unit and ran it through the fsc generator and have an update code. But I read somewhere that this takes a while to update (stands to reason since you can't process 27gb of data into an IDE drive but so fast). But how long does it take? I generally have a 5 hour commute on Monday mornings and was wondering if it will update while I'm driving? |

30 or so minutes if nothing goes to sleep. If sleep happens, it picks up where it left off. So doing it on your drive is not a bad idea.
