The car is coming up to its third birthday and I realise I’ve free map updates on the connected drive plan. A simple update from the 2018 -1 maps the dealer put on last year.
The process seemed to go ok albeit the require BMW download manager app was very slow rep respond and the 24Gb took 4hrs on my 16mbps Broadband.
The data was put onto a 32Gb stick but used in the glove box or armrest neither will wake the system to a state which will prompt for an install.
The local dealer has a Guru on site and he’s equally stumped.
The outcome is the dealer is getting a pre loaded usb so hopefully that will work - unfortunately it’s not going to be delivered before the sailing to Europe on Monday.

Touch the radio to do anything and you will lose the hopeless map and leave youbwith sound only until you stab some buttons to get it back. Hopeless. My Tom Tom does the work and I leave the pop up satnav screen to impress pop up fans..
