Hi guys,

Last March I updated an F20 to 2017-1 Move maps (europe), and used the following fsc (vin:VU84458): S6PPZ5YS6JK7KAEIAAUQ.

However, yesterday I tried to update to 2018-1 and the car was asking for fsc when I inserted the USB drive. Weird, because I thought it was a lifetime code I used in March.

Question is if anyone can give me the lifetime fsc for vin:VU84458.
THanks!

Would need your 1B file to generate the FSC.

That code isn't a lifetime code.

Thanks!
How do you know this?

Because if it was a lifetime code, you wouldn't need a new code now.

I understand the algorithm.

After you have generated enough FSCs, you recognize a pattern. Just comes with experience.

Can someone please point me to a link with diy on how to generate the FSC code and what software i need? My brother back in Europe needs to update his e92 maps if he givs me his vin will i be able to do this for him ?
Thank you

Not unless you have access to the BMW ASAP Portal. Or, you use an Ethernet to OBD cable to connect to the car and download a file directly from the CIC.

So would the Enet cable from BimmerGeeks work to pull fsc from E series ? Because when i type in google Enet to obd it looks just like that, if not can you point me to a right adapter, also what software do i need for this Esys or FSC generator ?

[lnxguy]

Follow this to grab the 1B from your CIC unit.

Yeah thats the old fashion, i’ve been reading a lot lately and there is a software called FSC Generator that i think its 3 easy steps, and also i think its possible with Esys
