And then press 3 times the startbutton to put the car in service stand. Maybe that’s the problem for not working.
Triple press start button is not necessary for the car to initiate the update process. As long as the idrive is on, plug in usb stick with map should trigger the update. In theory, this should be the case but obviously, there are many other factors that may lead to update not being triggered.
Triple press start button will put the car into diagnosis mode whose purpose is simply to keep the car on for the entire duration of the update if you don't want to start the engine.
Just done that just now. First chance I’ve had to get the roof down so I can lean in to press the button. Put the usb in before triple press, as soon as I did the presses it came up with map update confirm, pressed confirm and it’s uploading as I type
