Input Files

• The Key Generator will auto-detect and accept either Base64 (Text) or binary FSC file inputs, as well as the file type (1B or NBT). (You can over-ride the detection setting, using the "CIC/NBT" radio buttons).

Support Files

• The Key Generator will download and use the most recent copy of the BMW "Lookup.xml" file for key generation parameters. In Linux and Windows, this file is stored in the same directory as the Key Generator. For OSX, it is stored in ~/Downloads/

• The RSAKeys.txt file keeps a copy all submitted RSA keys. The Generator will download and use the most recent copy of the file. In Linux and Windows, this file is stored in the same directory as the Key Generator. For OSX, it is stored in ~/Downloads/

Unsupported Feature

• It appears that the key stored in the "FSC" file pulled from the car is not necessarily unique to the car, but may be shared across multiple cars built within a short time window.

As an example:

FSC Date	VIN Build Date			Days Difference

If you would like to help out, and have pulled your FSC file, please send me a copy. I will not include or publish any car-specific information, but will add the FSC file date and RSA key to the RSAKeys.txt file. Hopefully if enough are gathered, some people will be able to create an FSC for their car, without having to pull any files.

• Windows: https://ufile.io/zkhli175
  Windows users must extract the file to a writeable directory (Desktop, Downloads, etc...), not run it from the zipped file. The generator needs to download support files (Lookup.xml and RSAKeys.txt) in order for it to run correctly.

• OSX: https://ufile.io/sk0zd9oz
  OSX must be v10.10 (Yosemite) and higher.

• Linux: https://ufile.io/wf40lkit
  Linux users must extract the file to a writeable directory (~/) and will need both QT5 and OpenSSL installed.

• Linux Console: https://ufile.io/tb2tia4k
  Linux users must extract the file to a writeable directory (~/) and will need both QT5 and OpenSSL installed. Network not required.
  

  Usage:  ./BMW_CIC_FSC_Generator_Console FILE.fsc TYPE [TYPE] YEAR [YEAR]
                  Example ./BMW_CIC_FSC_Generator_Console FILE.fsc 0x28 0x0A
          FILE.fsc - 319 byte hex OR BASE64 encoded version of hex
          TYPE     - 1 or 2 bytes representing the map type
                     If TYPE is two bytes, YEAR must be two bytes
          YEAR     - 1 or 2 bytes representing the map year
                     If YEAR is two bytes, TYPE must be two bytes

Version History
v1.91
  Feature: Option to attempt to repair corrupt 1B file
  Bugfix:  Download/Rename Lookup.xml
  Misc:    Add "Select Option" to dropdowns, since I'm tired of answering "Click 'Premium'. Select 'Premium', then the next dropdown will become enabled"
v1.9 - Add support for F0 Files.  NBT EVO Headunits which use NEXT style maps.
v1.02 - Allow Numerical First Digit for VIN.  Bug Identification & Explanation provided by txomin in post 71
v1.01 - Unhide "Lifetime" Checkbox
v1.0  - Initial Release

I appreciate you making this available. I just tried to download the OSX version, and it didn't seem to work. It was saying that it couldn't be opened. Is there an updated link? Thank you!

With good 1B and Code generated for SWID_FscShort="00280066", it should work. And make sure when you enter your activation code, you use the letters O and I, not the numbers 0 and 1.

I got the ENET cable and installed E-Sys, but when I open E-Sys shows PSdz Error(Data\psdzdata\mapping\brref.xml file is missing)

PSdZData is no good. Replace it with lattes. PM sent.

So my idea was, to help in any form to implement this in the Jagaer keygen, because I somewhere read that it is difficult for him as there are no EntryNav headunits in North America (maybe also an old information)...

Thanks Jagaer for nice work!

Fsc generator successfully used for NBT/Next, CIC/Premium and CHAMP2/Move update. Worked like a charm!

Could I join to member "lutzman", if you need Jagaer DF (EnrtryNav data from Head unit downloaded with Enet) files for further FSC generator development, it will be my pleasure to share with you?!
Are you planning to develop some FSC generator for Route NAV users?

Kind regards

Steps to make it work
Open terminal and enter

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Once thats done installing type

brew install upx

and hit enter
Then type

sudo upx -d "YOURDOWNLOADDIRECTORY"/BMW_CIC_FSC_Generator.app/Contents/MacOS/BMW_CIC_FSC_Generator

replacing "YOURDOWNLOADDIRECTORY" with your actual download directory and hit enter. Once you have done that go back to BMW_CIC_FSC_Generator.app and try to open it, you will probably see a message about it being from an unideftified developer so go to system settings>privacy & security and hit open anyway. You should be good to go.

Not to belittle Jagaer's work, just to clarify what's what and who's who:

The original FSC generators were created by "other" people by reverse-engineering they way the keys are calculated from something that is unique to the car (e.g. an 1B file). This was only possible because BMW made the mistake of using symmetric key algorithms in the 2nd generations of navigation systems (CIC). With these systems, you could get the key material and algorithm by looking at the software in the nav system. Before that, with CCC, there was no protection at all.

After around 2014 with the advent of NBT Evo, BMW started to use asymmetric keys, such that only the public part had to be included in the nav system, keeping the private key from prying eyes. Those systems can only be cracked by exchanging the public key for one that fits another private key to generate codes. At least one generation was a hybrid in that respect, as the same card material needed either key type depending on the car generation.

Other than that, you would have to reverse-engineer or steal the private key from BMW. Good luck with that, although BMW even made a mistake in using an exponent of 3 instead of 65537 for performance reasons, thereby giving away half of the private key (which does not help all that much - despite I know that someone did it, but only as an intellectual challenge).

So, I doubt that there will be any FSC generator developed for those systems, even less by Jagaer, whose merit lies in making the process of generating keys more accessible to the common user, not in developing actual FSC generators.

You mean the graphical user interface was added by Jagaer on command line interface programs what was available earlier?

What about the EVO ID4, for that one I did not find cli...
Is that available somewhere?

On the same way like for DE, 1B and F0 reverse engineering, if there is enough user data like actual FSC, map data and DF dump from head unit, it can not built some code generator for new route maps?

Anyhow thanks for clarification.

I would suspect so, yes. At least the reverse engineering was present way before. So even if the algorithm was implemented independently, I do not think it was original work.

AFAIR NBT Evo 4 was the last one to still use the NBT scheme, Evo 5 and 6 were the ones that used the same maps, but activation codes are based on asymmetric cryptography. So I guess the same program that is for NBT can be used. But that one I am not sure of, I only cared about my BMW E92 and a Mini F56. Besides: Jagaer's program is nice, because it incorporates much of the fuss that is around the cli versions, so why bother?

No, because the secret part is not present within those units - hence "asymmetric". And with the public key, you can only verify that a signature over the car ID, and map version is valid, which is not sufficient to calculate one yourself.
As I wrote: someone would have to get the private key. Or exchange the public one, but then, only the holder of the new key can generate codes.

To everyone getting the invalid "1234567" Vin error

Your CIC is most likely an early unit, 10/2010 or earlier production aka 2010 MY. I have been running into the issue myself but bottom line is that early LCIs models running the outdated CIC firmware do not produce the right 1b file from the sh prompt and thus won't produce the correct FSC codes for use during map data updates. The issue is a factory level issue and must be fixed by requesting that your local dealer performs what is know as an "Integration Level Update" or I-Level update. This will flash the various ECUs controlling the electrical components on the car to their most updated level and most importantly, update your CIC to the later model version that can also except software updates through the armrest USB (the early model CICs have no "system update" function)

If you have a 2009-2010 or retrofitted CIC from those MY and your 1b file produces a "1234567" error you have 3 options:
Buy another cable and create the 1b yourself (but have outdated unupdateable CIC software)
Buy an FSC through your BMW dealer or online Indy service (and let them win)
Or schedule your I-Level Update with BMW to upgrade your software (ideal and what you should do)

Not only will it (theoretically) solve your 1234567 issues, allowing you to generate proper FSCs, it will also enable easier times with further retrofits such as the combox bluetooth upgrade and access to various other iDrive functions you normally won't have available on the early software. Performing the I-Level update would be just about as expensive as buying a one time use FSC, but you would have the added piece of mind of having the updated CIC firmware, and most importantly be able to generate FSCs yourself (allegedly)

Hi, I am new to this so I am trying to get my head around updating maps etc.

I have managed to get the latest 2023 maps for my f15 thanks to some members but i am struggling to download the 1b file. i click to download in the thread but the download just disappears. does any body have the 1b file they can send so i can generate a FSC code?

thanks

thanks

Hi all, i'm new on the forum and i'm trying to install maps update on my F20 Lci (i bought it used recently).
My map is NBTevo_D Europe (if i'm not wrong it would be ID4 EVO). I've downloaded the code generetor and i've used it with FSC downloaded from the car with E-sys (i got file F0), but the car always get "wrong code". Does anyone can help me? Thank you.

PS: my PM doesn't work becouse i'm a new user

I have downloaded the road map europe 2023, inserted in the USB of FAT32 format but nothing happens when I insert in glove box in bmw 520 series. am i missing anything? what should be in the root? I got following in the usb root - pkgdb folder, config.nfm - i did manage to get the 1b file from my car - the next step when in insert the usb in the car - nothing happens. what am i missing?

Hi, sorry for my english

I have a 2014 MINI with 2013 map MOVE!

Because method 1b doesn´t work, I tried to generate the FSC code by date+VIN and the car doesn´t accept the new code! The new map will be Europe MOVE west 2022.
Now the navigation is always asking for a valid code, even after I Cancel and remove the pen drive!!

Thanks for your help.

Generation by VIN / Date never works. Need to pull and use 1B File from Head Unit.

[Nettele]

Thanks for your response shawnsheridan.

Impossible to pull 1B File from Head Unit with method USB pen. I try with two USB pen.

Now the navigation is always asking for a valid code, is that why ?
how else to load 1B file ?

Thanks for your help.

Right, not possible with CHAMP2 Head Unit to pull 1B with USB Script. Need to use Cable.
