NBT EVO map update clarification needed

floc · 07-24-2019, 01:18 PM

Hello,
I want to update nbt evo maps on my f87 2017 and I need some advice.

1- Do I need a CODE to unlock them or a FILE? I think to upload them via armrest usb (the only usb on my car) and then put the activation code. Correct?

2- Can I calculate the code myself with utilities like this https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1453464 or are these old stuff?

3- How can I obtain my 1b file? Is it possible or have I to purchase it online?

Thank you

Since it's a 2017 car i think you don't need any code, it still should work yet. Just copy the files to a pendrive then plug it in the USB port and it will update itself.

And what if it doesn't work? It will ask me a code BEFORE updating or I'm risking to get stuck with unfunctional navigator? Please note I'm not in US and I dont know if this car has lifetime map upgrade used car). Can I check with the vin number?

Thank you

I'm also in EU.

The update period is country specific, the best way if you call a BMW service and ask them with your VIN.
