updated navigation dvd for bmw x3 north american maps

If format and location are correct the car will read the USB and automatically check to see if map is more recent and ask if you wish to install. I accept IF USB download is no longer possible in US then whole NA Region may be being updated OTA.Īll X1 should be able to update via USB but it requires USB to be in correct format and maps saved to route directory.

OTA around the world are normally single country update only (certainly the case in Europe], so US rather than North America. Once BMW started doing OTA with other models they seem to have not kept a method of getting map updates easily available for those that still require USB.Īre you sure maps cannot be updated via USB? US does not have option to download maps via ConnectedDrive. If you are plugging your USB into slot and nothing happens it will probably be because the USB is in wrong format or your download maps have not been saved to the USB route directory or your car has more recent “Way” maps not “Route” mapping. it will see map, check if it is more recent than current version and ask you if you wish to install. If you get format right then just insert the USB into slot and car will read and automatically start update process, i.e. Formatting a USB above 32gb into FAT32 format requires tools / special programme which will partition the drive. As an example if your USB is showing as E:// on your computer then save the download file to E:// NOT E://any name.įinally if your USB is not in the right FAT32 format then reformat it but please note you will only be able to format a USB easily in FAT32 format if it is 32gb or less in size. The unzipped file should be in a folder called NAVDxxx_xxx which you will then need save to the USB route directory not into a named folder. You will need to save file to a computer first and unzip it, do not save download map file direct to the USB. In order to use USB updates your USB must be in FAT32 format (not exFAT or NTFS). OTA updates are single country update anyway, so if you have North America Maps then the advantage of USB update is you will update US and Canada (presume Mexico also). All cars should be able to update their mapping using USB method. You can tell which version you have by going into the navigation menu. Not for cars made from 07/2017 will have “way” maps. ‘Route” maps are for X1 (F48) cars made from launch date until approx 07/2017. If this is not allowed, web admin can delete this thread.
