Hello,

I'm trying to update the software on my 2015 X3 via USB. When I reach the 'Update Software' screen, I'm prompted with the following message (also pictured):

'Operation currently not available. Please try again later'

I only have the option to Cancel.

Does anyone have any ideas to how I can complete this software update?[IMG][/IMG]

not enough info for others to help you:
- what file did you put on your USB?
- is it in the root folder of your USB?
- How is your USB formatted?
- Which USB port did you plug it into?
- Is the engine on or not?
- What version is already installed on your X3?

Try the USB port in the glove compartment

I searched the glove compartment for a USB port. No luck. I even pulled out the two little cover plates in the compartment to see if there was a port behind them. Everything I've read online suggests the only USB drive on the 2015 X3 is in the center console.

sounds like you might have gotten a corrupt file somehow and/or bad formatting. I would try the following:
1. Reformat the usb stick FAT32 using a PC (not mac)
2. Re-download the bin file from BMW to your computer
3. Save the bin file to your USB stick
4. try loading again into your vehicle

good luck

and if you have another USB stick, try using that one...

from another post:
"Notes:
======

1. Some USB drives come with a hidden partition at the front of the drive. Make
sure to go into Disk Management (for Windows) or Disk Utility (OSX) and delete all partitions.
Then recreate a single partition formatted FAT32 (Windows) or FAT (OSX, it's FAT32 by default).

2. For Mac users, OSX places a series of hidden files on the USB stick which may cause the NBT not to properly read the data, if you have this problem
use a utility like Blue Harvest to remove all the hidden files/folders from the USB stick."

I bought a new flash drive and followed your formatting instructions. I was able to successfully install the software update on my X3, thanks for your help, najnad!

Hi TCBMW,
What was the source of your bin file? I tried downloading it from BMW website but it does do it.
I would like to update my NAV maps and the software - NAV maps are 2013 version! I would appreciate your help!
