Choosing the right BMW map update is easy. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Check Your Current Map Version: Sit in your BMW and press the 'Nav' button, then press the 'Option' button on your controller.
2. Find the Navigation System Version: Scroll down to the menu's last item titled "Navigation System Version." This will show you the map version currently in your car. For example, it might say "Road Map Europe Premium 2014-1."
3. Select the Correct Update: Based on your current version, choose the appropriate update. If your car has "Road Map Europe Premium 2014-1," then you need the PREMIUM map version. Other versions like MOTION, MOVE, or NEXT won't work for your car.

Remember, selecting the correct map version is crucial for a successful update. If you're unsure about your selection, we encourage you to consult with us before placing an order.

3. Wait for the Pop-Up Screen: After connecting the USB, wait for about 20 seconds for the pop-up screen.
4. Start the Update: Use the iDrive controller to select 'Start update'.
5. Enter the FSC Activation Code: Enter the 20-character FSC code using the iDrive controller. Note: The code does not include the digits "0" and "1".
