DON'T PAY BMW PRICES - How to Download and Install BMW Map Updates

Рет қаралды 511,466

Күн бұрын

In this video I show you how to download and install BMW Map Updates yourself using a USB stick. The process is very easy and you can save hundreds of dollars.
Let me be clear that it is illegal to download pirated copies of maps from the internet, so please do your research and make sure you are buying your maps and FSC code from an honest and legitimate supplier.
I take no responsibility for any ramifications from the purchasing or downloading of illegal materials.

For anyone that has the CIC system, note that you need to put the USB drive in the socket in the glove compartment, not the socket next to the aux socket.

What if I don’t have a USB in my glove box? That parts got a blank for me

@tomvleeuwen 3 жыл бұрын

Is the CIC original or retrofitted? Maybe someone forgot to retrofit the USB socket? Or you actually have NBT or Champ2 and can use the normal USB socket.

@jerrybomcool 3 жыл бұрын

@@tomvleeuwen It's NBT, Got it wrong. but its factory NBT and no USB in the glove box, only 1 in the arm rest

You are lucky with Australia/NZ Next maps since they are one folder that easily fits 32GB USB stick. With Europe Next maps there are 5 folders in total larger than 32GB. So you can either buy a 64GB stick or use 32GB stick where you don't have all the folder but lets say first 4, and then when NBT requires the 5th one, you can delete one of the previous 4 folders and put a 5th one on the stick, reinsert the stick and continue.

Hi I just purchased a 2012 BMW X5. My navigation version is a 2011 North America, There is no Next or NBT_L15184A. I ordered a Map and received an FSC code, and instructions. First issue is finding a flash drive that is 64gb 2.0 usb FAT32 (tried formatting software to be able to convert enfat to fat32). The instructions send me to a site where I can download the 2022 Updated map. At this point I am not sure if my current software has the capability to be updated. Any advice would be great.

@nes286 Жыл бұрын

Update sorry for delay. I was able to finally configure a flashdrive Hp 2gb to FAT32. I plugged into my USB in the Glove compartment (X5,) and was able to add the FSC code and it downloaded perfectly. Looking to Update to Map to 2023, any recommendations where to locate the map download?
