I have a 2014 528i xDrive that has NBT NEXT maps from when it was manufactured. My family are the second owners (I believe) of this car. I have been wanting to update this car for my parents by surprise, because it always takes them the wrong way. I have no money to spend on this which is why I don't have access to an ENET cable (For FSC code). Is their anyway I can update the car without a cable. All help is appreciated, Thx!

Resources Available:
OBD Bluetooth Device
OBD-2 Device
Windows PC
RJ-45 and cable (no OBD adapter sadly)
Access to BMW dealer

It can be done via USB, free is going to take some work.
Search this forum, should be plenty of resources.

He might just be a kid who doesn't have money of his own. Given he's trying to surprise his parents, probably trying to keep it under wraps.

Though to be honest, with Google Maps, not sure why anyone uses the built in navigation.

Easy... 10" screen and HUD directions right in front of me or trying to see a 5" screen on my phone.

True, but the data is much more up to date on google maps for things such as road closures and the such. Also, free real time traffic reporting. I've always found that google maps takes the more optimal route compared to my car's navigation while running them side by side.
