Question CIC Nav screen update problems

Good Afternoon or Morning depending on when you’re reading this, I have a 2012 F10 build date 08/2012 and I have a pretty significant problem trying to update my GPS/Nav. Last year I had purchased a 2021 update for my nav and I got it to ask for the FSC code, when I asked the seller for the code he said he would get back to me because he needed to get it from BMW well after a few weeks the seller ghosted me and well I never got the FSC code. After a month of back and forth from PayPal I was refunded the money but basically my nav reverted to its original map from 2012 which left me with a pretty unusable map because it wasn’t up to date, it showed streets that were no longer around in Chicago which is where I worked at the time, nevertheless I gave up on trying to update the map. It’s been more than 6 months and I would like to try and update it again I ordered a usb from Amazon but now I need both the map update and the FSC Code would there be anyone who’d be willing to send me over the latest map file for my Cic Idrive I’m pretty stripped on money so I can’t actually pay BMW for the update which is why I’m willing to attempt it myself again I have a Mac and a windows comp in case I need to use either of them to download the files. I really hope someone can help me out with this

eBay has lifetime FSCs for around $25. Map-sets are available from shawnsheridan.
