My USB map update is about to expire by end of this year.

Ran it once today and happened to hit something new, KoOl

---> Road_Map_AUSTRALIA_NEW_ZEALAND_EVO_2019-1.zip

Tried to figure out a direct downlad URL but my skill on Windows is not in line with Linux -_-z gave up | also the map has unlock data that is VIN specific so I think if it's properly done it's not worth the time and effort to hack it. Just use the phone (if map data is really dated).

Not sure if USB Map download is associated with each car VIN (I reckon it requires an access token when sending the HTTP request to BMW's server anyway..., so not easy).

About to do the airbag recall this month and ask them to do a full I-Step upgrade to fix:
1. PDC warning sound if not rolling forward
2. fake bluetooth connectivity issue... lol
3. any other ideas to add if they give me a hard time?

Hopefully #1 is enough when they test it.

BTW: BMW Sydney receptionist (obviously she knew nothing), simply told me the mechanics need to run a diagnostic (150 or 200? WTF) before upgrading I-STEP, hmm... I'll go back to the dealer where the car was delivered (Canterbury BMW) to try my luck.
