Navigation Map Updates

Will the dealer update the Nav map software at no cost while the car is under factory warranty or CPO?

I would say that would be a no.

Follow Almaretto's link. I've DIY'd it the last few updates. About a year after getting my car I had paid the going $50 rate for an FSC code (but why when there's the DIY FSC generator).

Dealers won't update under warranty or CPO, they'd rather try to sell you their $500 update. Only leverage you might have would be to ask them to update the maps before you buy a CPO.

Your cost is high, but otherwise I agree. You can negotiate almost anything before you sign and drive off lot.

As you can see, dealer website is offering March '16 rather than August '16 (2017-1) Maps.

Do you have E-Sys program and the ENET cable? If so i can remotely login to your car to retrieve the FSC code that is needed for the upgrade and send you the 2017-1 map to install yourself...... for free of course. Just did this for a friend tonight and worked flawlessly. I can do both CIC and NBT map updates along with any coding.

you can try this place

Cables can also be found in ebay for about $30 or so.

There are a few guys that can generate the 2017-1 map code for a fee and provide a download link; I bought mine from bimmerfsc@gmail.com

Is the FSC code static? Meaning, does it change when new maps come out?

FSC code for Navigation option is static.
Additionally, you can either have lifetime or release-specific FSC map code (eg, 2017-1).
