Verify the map in your navigation first:
iDrive Navigation
Settings Menu

Before start the update, prepare 3 things on your hand:
Ensure your USB drive has enough capacity
Make sure map data files are compatible with your system
The genuine FSC code from BMW database
WinOS: Use FAT32 Formatter to format your USB stick to FAT32 format first
(We can send to you if you do not have)
Note: Some USB drives come with a hidden partition at the front of the drive. Make
sure go into Disk Management(WinOS) to delete all partitions
Then recreate a single partition FAT32 format
MacOS: Some USB drives come with a hidden partition at the front of the drive. Go to Disk Utility (OSX) and delete all partitions. Then recreate a single partition formatted FAT (OSX, it’s FAT32 by default)
Note: OSX places a series of hidden files on the USB stick which may cause the system not to properly read the data, if you have this problem use a utility like Blue Harvest to remove all the hidden files/folders from the USB stick.
Follow the instructions inside the maps data download file to copy the maps data files onto the ROOT of your USB stick. The USB stick can be any names, do not worry about it.
After maps data successfully installed, system will automatically reboot. The updating procedure is now complete. Congratulations!!
