Are you downloading the maps from Connected Drive desktop app or website? I know the download will work for one VIN only. Worth checking you've got those details correct.

Just updated my car maps to 2019-2 Europe. USB image was created via BMW Download Manager tool on computer and I logged in to my BMW ConnectedDrive account, where my car is saved, so the image was created specifically for my car. Update took about 25 minutes, image size was 33GB, so I needed to use 64GB usb drive.

I'm assuming the download manager unzipped the files into your drive after downloading?

What did you code exactly? There in lies the problem I suspect. Map downloads as far as I can tell from this website seem to work ok.

I'm not an expert cider but if you detail exactly what you have done others may be able to help. But certainly getting it back to stock might be a good start potentially?

If you will take the car to the BMW service and tell them your iDrive is freezing from time to time, the first thing they will do is update the iDrive to the latest firmware, which will revert everything to default settings.

I don't understand why any of this is necessary. All of the maps in my vehicle are self-updating over the air. That's the entire point of having the subscription.

The over the air updates are just smaller updates as opposed to the complete updates which around 30Gb or so in size.

OTA updates are applied to a small local area as opposed to USB updates to country map or in my case Western Europe.

Ah, I see. It was also my understanding that the car will automatically send out OTA updates which in turn meant I don't ever have to worry about updating my navigation.

So do we in the US have to physically update it as well then I wonder?

I was recently browsing through everything and snapped a picture of the software version for my navigation. Can anyone in the US confirm this is the software version they have?

Updating is optional but I would suggest you do so you have the latest maps to reflect any changes in road layouts.

Did you manage to code back to original to determine if that fixed the issue for you?

There'll definitely be a newer version of maps as yours is couple of years old. I currently have 2019-2 Western Europe. I would have thought US would be similar.

Btw, you haven't had any OTA updates based on your photo. If you had one, they show up separately.

The auto update map feature is region-specific. In order to change the region, you have to go to the BMW Connected Drive website and change it there.

Note that there are at least four or five regions in the US alone.

OTAs are smaller than the selected region. It's more localised.

You can certainly ask them for advice but the download is for your car only from the connected drive website. Suggest take a 64gb usb drive with you, make sure you have your credentials and hopefully one of the staff members can help you out. At least if it doesn't work the dealers will see it and they could log a call with bmw themselves hopefully.

I suppose you can ask for a full iDrive update. Dealers over here aren't keen to do it unless there are issues as it takes time.

Alternatively, you can easily do it yourself via the Connected Drive website. Process is pretty straightforward. Just need a drive that can hold about 35gb.
