Map version
Hey Guys,
Just moved from Ct to Florida, and my maps are whack. I just changed my region to the southeast in my connected drive portal but I cant tell what my current map version is and if its ever been updated even though Im subscribed to Connected drive and have the auto-update map feature.. Here is my current version.. Does this mean I havent had an update since 2017, ie never, or do i use the bottom figure showing 2020-21? Thanks:

Whoa? There's an auto map update feature? Didn't know that...
I've always used the BMW Download Manager on Windows, sign into it using my ConnectedDrive account and download the map onto a USB Stick and update manually on my M2C. Perhaps you can try that and it might download a bigger region? I'd assume auto update is just saving SIM card data or something. Where I'm at - New Zealand, we're so small that our map data that we get lumped together with the Aussie Map updates... Anyway, You can get the download manager from the connected drive website once you've logged in. In the "Home" page for your car. On my pages, there was "USB Map Update" and "Map update". "Map update" is the link where you will be able to find the download manager. Below is what BMW Download manager looks like. |

Where do you change your region in the ConnectedDrive portal? I can't seem to find it. My maps are still set for the region from which I bought the car. I'd like to change it. I'm still subscribed to map updates thru 2021.

When you login to the portal web site, you should see a graphic display of your covered subscriptions/services. Select the one that says 'Map Update' and then 'Automatic Map Update'. That's where you select your region. I did that last week and it still hasn't updated there car nav yet. The system plain sucks, and hardly anyone knows how to force the update quickly. Maybe a trip to the dealer is required for them to force the map update and hope they don't charge.

The problem is getting it to download the appropriate map region to you. I haven't gotten anywhere with that.

Mine actually updated the next day during my first drive. A couple minutes after I set off, I got a prompt on the screen that asked me if I wanted to update and that doing so would require a restart of the navigation system. It took a few mins, but seemed to be fine after that.

All you need to do to update your car with the correct regional data is make sure BMW has the correct address for you (and your registered vehicle) in the ConnectedDrive Portal:
http://connecteddrive.bmwusa.com The ConnectedDrive Portal will tell your registered car which map update to download over-the-air. |
