NAV wont load after Bimmercode coding, FSC codes cancelled

Hi

I have a 2017 G30 with NBT EVO iDrive 6

I tried to make a couple of changes using Bimmercode including Video in motion and Video vis USB and it failed.

I restored the config but now my Navigation just stays on loading.

I tried a factory reset and then a software update from Connected Drive but no joy.

I had recently installed a map update which I downloaded from BMW connected drive so I tried inserting this USB again to reinstall map but it says tells me to insert a USB drive with the correct activation code. Tried downloading a new one but same thing

I then looked on the FSC page in Bimmercode and the following four items that used to be green and said accepted are now in red and say cancelled...

NBT Navi Application Harman
EVO ID5 European Map
Speesh NLU
Speech TTS

Dont know if its relevant but on this page the code under "EVO ID5 European Map" says ends in 4C but on the map update I got from BMW there is a .FSC file that ends in 5E.

I have a connected drive subscription if that helps

Can anyone please help ?

Thanks

Try flashing your HU, if it doesnt load the FSC back, you need either an FSC repair set or patch the HU to accept the FSC.

I had the same issue the other night, where the coding failed and the iDrive screen failed to start after that. I restored the coding from backup, and then the screen was back on. Navigation said the very same thing, "loading" and to insert an USB stick with the right codes. I tried the one with the most recent maps on it, and that worked. It installed the maps, and has been working fine since.

I've downloaded the most recent maps from bmw with the fsc code and yet still no joy. "connect USB with the correct activation code" is the message that I keep getting. Absolutely driving me insane

Did you solve this? I had the same problem and had to buy new FSC code from “the internet”.

Actually there is no need to buy new codes. You can put FSC codes from repair pack (OEM).

Hi guys, I have a similar problem and I would appreciate if someone could help me out. I got a recall regarding EGR and I took the car where they told that they need to recode the car first and informed me that I will lost all custom coding like CarPlay, Speed Limit Detection, Start/Stop memmory and etc.

But when I took the car they told that I lost the navigation. I've asked for a document what I've lost and they gave me this info:

BMW Apps
M Laptimer
Apple Carplay

Also I saw a notification about : Programming Deactivates the functions controlled by sweeping technology (SWT). Reactivations via ISTA is not possible. During programming all activation codes are deactivated for the following units:

HU-H - Headunit High

It is recommended to cancel the measures plan (software update)


Now I see the Loading sign on the Navigation box and my MAP and NAV buttons are not working. The car was bought with Navigation System Professional.

Not sure if it's connected but I have aftermarket Front and Back camera, and now the Back camera is not working, while the front is still working as intended.

Can someone help? Thanks!

I was able to get most of the issues fixed. When I reinstalled Carplay the native navigation also started working and I’ve reqctivated SLI and Start/Stop memory.

I still have the problem with my reverse camera that’s not working. I tried switching the reverse camera with the front and I saw that the reverse started working when putting the car in Drive which tells me that the cables are not broken and the camera is working.

I wonder if the software update made something that wouldn’t send power to the back camera when in reverse , does anyone has some ideas?

I just put the old fsc files on a USB and plugged it when I started the car. It seemed to pick up the codes automatically..

Not sure if it matters for this, but when updating the maps the USB has to be formatted FAT32, and be at least 32Gb in size...

Hi, My new map also failed to load on a X3 G01 with message ”Connect USB device with correct activation code” when I tried to update to latest map data that I downloaded from ConnectedDrive. Please let me know where I can find the OEM repair pack to fix the issue.
