Hi Guy's,

Sorry to bother you again, I am trying to update my Maps on the GPS in my X1.  I searched high and low to find the Data USB inside the glove box, I did everything as per the Instructions. I got to the point where it asked for the FSC Code or serial number.  I input the code not using Zero's or ones and everything in Upper Case, suddenly it did nothing at all, no messages or anything so I am a tad lost.

Has anyone done this update successfully??

Thanks

Noel

Hi Dave,

Does it take very long to complete and does it give any visual feedback, I got the FSC in and that was all it did. I will have to wait to try again tomorrow.

Thanks

Noel

Yes just left it, went indoors for tea and a bacon butty. We made sure his battery was fully charged and had a charged one ready to hook up if needed

Was your FSC once only ? If it was it could be an issue

I had a look at the order and it said the FSC is lifetime. So far i have left it for a couple of hours and not much has changed.

If it doesnt work i will seek support

Thanks

UPDATE:

 

Well, one thing they didn't mention in their instructions.  The Car has to be in motion or it won't update.  How stupid is that??  I put the USB in the correct port and went for a drive, within a block or so it started updating, when I stopped at lights so did the update (Interesting) anyway when I took off again it continued.  Eventually it completed and rebooted.  Now the maps are now up to date.  That is a good one to lock away in the memory vault, no doubt it will happen again when the next update is done.
