In a word no

You need to log on to your connected drive account and assuming the car is still under 3 years or you have purchased a years updates ( again from this website) you can down load the map update for your car. The down load is for your car only tied to vin.

In the U.K. this map requires you have a minimum of a 64GB usb drive to accommodate the approx 34GB files.

Couldn't possibly say. There may be unofficial methods , as well as the map data there is at least 1 file that will unique for your car , tailored to your vin so you idrive can effectively unlock the data.

Why not just pay for it from your connected drive logon , cost I don't recall exactly but in the U.K. is about the £100 mark for a year which gives you 4 quarterly updates. ( and potentially any over the air updates bmw may wish to send out)

Unless there is a ton of new construction where you drive, you can wait a few years to update without much of an issue.

My car hit the three year mark yesterday. I paid the $150 for another year of Connected Drive Plus. I don't even use the cars Maps, but I wanted to be able to use the MyBMW app to monitor the car. It had a place for a discount code which makes me wonder if there is a code out there and I could have saved a few bucks.

It's just a download doesn't include FSC code so won't install.

HI Joe

I got my g30 today, second hand and I see connected drive is not active.
What does this offer me? App sounds cool can you perhaps tell me what features the app offers?

Thanks

The ones I use most are preconditioning the car and sending a destination to the car's GPS system.

Hi there. Congrats on your new acquisition, you're going to love it. First thing to note is that it allows you to use the app and check vehicle status. Without it, you can't. There are three services for the BMW connect package and six for the plus. The three services is $50 a year and the plus is $150. I did the $150 which got me everything my car is capable of. Here is what plus got me:
