Manual map update via ConnecteDrive

I have a June 2015 build 535i and my ConnecteDrive cockpit says I am subscribed to map updates. I have installed the BMW download manager to my PC, but when I click on the button to download a map, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? I have tried on two different computers, so I don't think it's hardware...��

In my experience i had to look at the Connected drive page (once you have installed the app on your PC) which then (for me) stated that i have the latest version installed so there was nothing to update.

The message appears around the area where you clicked download.

What maps do you currently have installed?

The BMW site is not working properly at the moment and is only offering 2016-1 anyway.

I downloaded 2016-2 from another site for my 2015 F11.

Thanks. Are you able to point me in the right direction? I already have the access code on ConnecteDrive...

You need to format the stick to FAT32 which I think the default and then copy the files onto the stick.

You should have something like this

I though the later cars with the BMW update subscription used a different map file (downloaded from BMW) to the pre subscription cars that need an fsc code, but from what your saying it's exactly the same map file (2016-2), just doesn't need the fsc code?

It is exactly the same ptocess and there is a FSC code supplied with the car, it just lasts for 3 years.

That is why i presume it is possible for Ebay suppliers to generate a code that is "lifetime"?

Probably not, you can register here:- https://www.bmw-connecteddrive.co.uk...x.html#/portal

Plenty of resellers thought that are cheaper though.

See site in previous post above
