Hi Guys,

I checked earlier and my car looks to be running the 2009 Nav Maps on the CIC system.

Other than BMW is there a cheaper supplier I can use in the UK to get it updated? I've seen loads of threads about people doing this is the US section of the forum, but I obviously need UK Maps.

Also, on the subject of I-Drive does anyone know how I can get my 'BMW Online' working? It says its not activated or expired at the moment (although I'm still not entirely sure exactly what it is)

Download the maps from the internet. If you search this forum, I have posted links to 2014 maps.
Get the fsc code from the ebay or from somebody who you know.
You will be ready to update the maps.

About rest of the question, decode your vin and see what specs your car has. It appears that you have TCU. The subscription may have expired and you will have to get it renewed by bmw. I guess charges are £120 for 12 months.

Thanks for the info! I'll have a look now!

FYI For anyone doing the same update, here is the link to the EUROPE Premium 2014 Map download, you will need uTorrent:

And this is the E90Post link that has the rest of the Map downloads on:

when i got my bmw the bmw online was not activated. the previous owner had not bothered. so i registered is via the bmw website and ive got the full 3 years free :-).
its not that great tbh. just a news feed and access to emails basically. oh i have got the app actually on my phone also which enables me to track the car and remote lock/unlock the doors.
