In other words, they will swear that "we need to load the maps in the shop, it costs $450".īut in fact, BMW designed a system that also uses DVDs and can be done without the dealership computer. Interestingly, most dealers are unaware that there is, in fact, an 'end user accessible process'. Where you jsut need to turn on or load software. Oh, the FSC process also works for things like Sirius. Worse case I can buy it from a dealer for $200, online for $100 (so far). (Indeed, $9 and change) I am on the hunt for the FSC process. In my present case, I bought the DVDs with the 2011 nav software for $9 from BMW.
(Mods, please note that there is NOTHING PROPRIETARY about this discussion, OK?) My understanding is that this is a system BMW has put in place to attempt to control the loading of software into their cars (actually "your" car).įor example- the Navigation maps will only load onto the CIC hard drive if you enter a FSC code that bmw creates by 'convolving' the VIN of the car, and the software FSC SWID code.and creating a 20 digit activation code that will only work for your car and that one software version. I thought maybe this thread might start a conversation. There is very little information on the whole process of FSC activation codes.
