I presume there is no 'open source' software to generate the FSC code for free.
Searching the net- there seems to be a number of threads about CIC FSC codes- but they seem to imply that you need to a download a file from the car via coding in order to generate the FSC code- but I could be wrong! Is the FSC code used just for Nav, or are there separate codes to unlock 'feature' in the I-drive? |

This was with the files you used and with my original files. All the files downloaded and unzipped and are identical to the ones above. The BMW technician claims that both stick and DVD should work but it seems that sticks are the usual way. I am now at a dead end so its back to the BMW guy who has been helpful, he offered to check it out for me. ;-) |

Hi
Thanks for your offer, I appreciate it. If you could send them across to me that would certainly prove whether I have an issue with my system or not. It would then give me some ammunition with BMW! If you want to keep personal details off the forum please send a private mail and I will forward my address. |

As a last resort today I decided to see what would happen if I put USB1 (with the files on that you kindly posted) in to the glove box socket before turning on the ignition, despite all comments from various posts stating that the satnav should be allowed to have started before putting in the USB stick. I was pleasantly surprised when, after the satnav system had booted up, I was advised that a later version was available and to enter my activation code. I entered the one I had previously purchased and the upgrade was carried out without any issues ;-)). One very relieved OAP!! Thanks again for your offer, comments and suggestions. An excellent advert for this Forum. |

Finally got around to getting my front seat squeak and Nav Traffic Glitch sorted.
The local dealer upgraded the Nav to the latest version FOC They needed to keep it overnight, because they only started looking at the problem in the afternoon Day 1, and then needed to order the code and upgrade the software which happened Day 2. See picture... |

Bought my car second hand a few weeks ago and noticed the RTTI was on the wrong side.
The car is now having the firmware upgrade done under warranty. I wait to see which maps they put on as I had 2013 anyway and the tech bulletin describes the change as needing 2013-2 |

If you want to upgrade your map version to Europe NBT 2015-2, you will have to purchase this later map and a new FSC code to install it. The good news is that I was shown the revised pricing the other day and it is cheaper. It is still not as cheap as the UK web site that I discuss on this other thread... http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1143020

The car is still there. It died completely after 5 1/2 hours of trying. So let's see what today brings. I have to say that Snows customer service has been brilliant. Regular updates and a last minute loan car when mine wasn't ready.
The senior tech let me read the update. For the correction to the RTTI they need to have 2013-2 as a minimum. My version was earlier than that so they're reloading the full set. |

Better still, when you have it back, how about a picture of iDrive screen showing the versions that are installed? I will post mine as it has been updated several times, but not sure whether I have the very latest. What I do know is that that there are software releases twice a year. Not just for the X3 but in general to keep up with the latest bluetooth for phones. Be advised, BMW are not renowned for keeping the documentation up to date especially when it comes to mobile phones. I have the Samsung S5 with Vodafone and the latest software only mentions the Samsung S4, when I know it [S5] is covered when you query the phones that are compatible. EDITED...YOU SAID AND I QUOTE. Sorry didn't mean to shout, just wanted to make sure you noticed, but are you saying all the time or occasionally?

Yes, will update on everything they've done with version numbers.
The info in your other post was very useful. I'm hoping that the fsc code they use will be a lifetime one. |

Missed the second bit.
The RTTI is only showing on the wrong side when there's traffic |

They [BMW UK] do not do lifetime codes, so if the fix to your problem entails your car being updated to the minimum standard of NBT 2013-2 (that was what my car had on it when purchased), then I can see them putting that on free of charge to comply with the guarantee. You never know, you might get a later version NBT 2015-2 free of charge. Nice if you do.

Well, all finished on Friday.
The update is to the same as previously posted ending 23 with 2013-2 maps (CIC). I'll report on whether it's worked when I hit some traffic |

OK. I am surprised you have the Road Map Europe Premium 2013 and not the NBT version. Perhaps you have the Business Nav and not the Pro Media Nav. When was your car built?

It's one of the last built with CIC. When I bought it the build date suggested it would be NBT, but no. It's definitely pro-nav.
Thanks for your reply I'll try that. |
