Hello all,
please excuse me for any stupid question, I am very new here
vehicle:
Model: 116i - EUR
Type: 1A12
Development Code: F20
I am having trouble updating my navigation map
I need immediate attention please.
I bought this 2018 BMW Navigation Map Update from bimmercoders.
when I insert the usb drive with the extracted files to the glove compartment usb port nothing happens....
according to the instruction it should automatically detect the update and should come up on the screen, but nothing happens.
this is what i did:
- downloaded the .rar file, which was about 2.8gb
- extracted the file with 7zip application, about 4.5gb
- formatted my 8gb usb drive with FAT32 system
- copied contents of NAVD_xxxxxxxx_xxx_xxx_xxx folder to usb drive
- switch on my car
- plug-in the usb to the glove compartment usb port
- waited waited waited ...
please note I have repeated these steps multiple times just to make sure I am not missing anything, but no luck.
I also bought a brand new 32gb usb drive because I though my usb might be faulty but same result, the system does not detect any update.
I tried the center usb port as-well but obviously that won't work any way.
the glove compartment usb port is not dead because I can see a light blinks on the usb drive when I insert it, and I can charge my iPhone there. Also after a while the usb stick becomes warm if I leave it there.
anything else should I do or anything else I can try or if I am doing anything wrong.
Thank you in-advanced.
