I inserted the USB into the console USB and pressed start (no brake) to enter accessory mode.

Same process on NTFS formatted 64Gb USB stick
I just tried the same process and it recognized the USB stating map update. But when clicking on OK for update, it's asking for a code?

Try sending a message to this eBay vendor for an FSC price:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-MINI-NA...4AAOSwxFhf22~N

Tell the your VIN and that maps will be 2020-2.

Anyone have any idea why the fsc code is required for some and not others.

Does it have anything to do with the fact the head units changed to Alpine halfway through 2017.

Is the fsc code a requirement for the ROUTE Maps.

Does anyone know if the systems asking for the fsc code, can be coded out?

WOW, I didn't try it, found some you can download too.

Was reading the F30 site and was told Code Generator will not make FSC Codes that work for the ROUTE and EVO Maps. There is a guy in their Shawn, that will direct all to the guy who can help.

The first/opening post by ejw2011 is for ROUTE 2019-1, which is at least 1 year more recent than your 2018-1:

I'm probably going to get Carplay box instead. Don't feel like dropping $36 for an OEM map update

The site is click bait scam and FSC code generator will not work for Entrynav/2 HU anyway. The Entrynav have ARM chipset which have not yet been hacked. Hacks worked for NBT and earlier BMW HU with intel chipsets (they then created fsc generator). This is one reason why there are no 3rd party fsc codes for Entrynav/2 including for Navmaps (e.g route, Way).
Some suppliers appear to have contract with BMW for one-off map downloads, where you provide VIN and they get fsc via BMW (fsc codes are VIN specific). Also some countries have Entrynav HU which appear to have lifetime fsc already installed so updates do not require/ask for fsc (but do not think for ENTRYNAV2). There is a risk trying install nav map update from download site without fsc, namely if it ask for fsc and you do not have then it can lock your HU.

I was told that BMW provides a FSC Code that is valid for 3 years when built. Therefore my 2016 hade 2016-2 and I was only able to upgrade to 2020-1 max. When I tried to load 2020-2 it wanted a code. In your case car is one year newer, ability to upgrade to 2019-2 or 2020-1 Max.

I utilized BMWNAVCODES and was able to install 2020-2 or 2021-1. If I upgrade to 2021-2 when it comes out I would need another new FSC Code.

All new FSC Codes only allow one update.

Hope That Helps

AFAIK, the FSC code generator available for download isn't able to generate the codes for entrynav/route. Irrespective, I dont think I'm going to update my maps anymore based on what you mentioned.
I have carplay MMI but I like the speed limit provided on the HUD by BMW maps.

My 2018 X1 was built in October 2017 and I just updated updated to WAY 2021-1 maps, so 3 years 5 months without entering FSC code. I'll keep my fingers crossed for 2022 next year.

He only had 2020-1 maps when contacting him. Gerry (BMWNAVCODES) had the newer maps but wants $36 for the code.

That's less than what I paid for 2019-1 maps ($60) and less than my last gas fill-up ($47).

I'm not sure if you can install every code to the last allowed or a onetime upgrade no further out than allowed with the OEM FSC.

Can anyone answer this question?

Got my FSC code lost...

Hi all,
Today I was trying to update my maps and messed it up. I previously had Europe Route 2018-1 for my X1 (late 2015). So I downloaded Europe West Route 2020-1, and when tried to enter the FSC code using the FSC generator, nothing worked (I tried all the codes the app gave me, lifetime, single, etc.). It didn't work, and now not the previous one works, it keeps asking me for the activation code. Also, the trick with the USB stick and the 1b files didn't work either.
Vin: P922519

Can you help me?
