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.
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.
Windows OS, uses some memory USB stick as "Local Drive" (it makes hidden backup files on stick), make sure that turn off that feature, and re-format usb stick
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.
So glad I got the navigation on my x3 updated! Currently running the latest 2020-1 map data! I'm also a tech savvy person so with a little research I was able to generate my own FSC code instead of paying those websites!!
I have a BMW 2015 2 Series, running EUROPE ROUTE WEST maps dated 2015. When I put the USB in, nothing happens. I have copied the files to the root of the stick, nothing happens
I was quoted $450 bucks to update the navigation map to North America (2019) for my 2011 328i Xdrive! 😤 What a freaking rip off! For that price, that map update better lead me to a pot of gold.😂 By the way, - HELL NO! I didnt get the update from BMW🤯.
Bmw are assh as a company. In France all car manufacturers nav map updates are free and no hassle, it's all on the manufacturer website, no third party involved. Since Bmw wants to rip off people i understand why people will circumvent and screw bmw to get the update free.
My 64GB USB stick not deducting on my BMW to update the map, I have tried to formate the Fat32 and some other formates which is supported by BMW but none other deducting on my dash, But I'm sure its not the USB problem because i have used the same one to update the map by using download manager but i have got the map outside now.

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.
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?

Hey guys need some info, I have a 2010 X1 and I want to update the idrive system, I want to know if after the update I'll have the speed limit displayed, otherwise i don't really care for the update.
As my understanding, the speed limit comes from the Speed Limit street signs. The car must have camera where it can reads those and displays the speed limit to you. the navigation alone will not be able to give you the speed limit numbers.
When i press on start update i get the message (Connect USB device with correct activation code), and it does not start update and i dont get to enter the code, what should i do?
Can you get the codes for remote engine start for the newer 2019 g20 m340i or any remote engine start for G20’s or F36’s in all of TH-cam no one is yet to have done it WTF!!!!
