I have purchased the map updates for my 2011 bmw 535i F-10 but I can't get the RAR files to unzip on my MacBook.
Does anyone have or know the process to unzip the files from a MacBook.
thanks.

Download "The Unarchiver" from the Mac App Store. This app will uncompress RAR files.

If Unarchiver didn't work, try "RAR Expander."

Once the files are extracted to your computer, be sure the USB stick is formatted "FAT32" format using Disk Utility and then copy the BMW folders/files directly to the root of the USB stick.

This just saved me a bunch of $$.

I just picked up a 2015 535i and was about to pay the dealer for map updates. I downloaded the Next North America 2019-1 map, put it on a USB drive and instead of messing with FSC genenerators, CAT5 cables, I just paid $9 on Ebay for a Lifetime FSC code.

The update process was really simple. Plugged in the USB drive and the install began. Took about 30 mins.

What update? The maps or media software? Which USB port are you using; glove box or center console?

2020 premium map is out if you do a quick google search there should be a post on the forum for a torrent link. I just updated mine yesterday by using the method orca posted.

Thanks for an update.
I bought a 2020-1 NEXT maps from eBay for $15. Came with a lifetime update code.
Download was rather long but once I decompressed and copied the file to USB stick installation took about 30 minutes. Strangely, I was not asked for the code.

your car has a newer/different idrive than mine (mine is CIC idrive). you should be able to find info online for your version.
