I am trying to update maps on my brothers 2010 E90, currently 2009-1 Premium
Got the maps on a good USB stick but the car does not recognize it at all no prompts to start update. I used this stick on my wifes 2011 with no issues at all.
Any help appreciated.

If CIC firmware is too old, you must make update via DVD as USB Map Update is not supported.

Double Layer Double Density DVD is 8.5 Gb.

You can flash CIC with WinKFP and latest SP-Daten, but you need expensive ICOM interface.

Just updated the Nav maps in my 2013 135i - used the folks at *** Navi Pro and spent a grand total of under $32 USD for the nav files and FSC code.

You learn about customer service when things go a bit sideways and I initially was pointed at a set of Next Big Thing updates. That was resolved very quickly, response to my inquiry was almost immediate. I got access to the appropriate RAR files and downloaded them. It takes awhile . . .

I run Linux, specifically Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and there were zero problems getting four 8 GB+ USB sticks formatted in Win95 FAT32 and then the data decompressed (using Archive Manager).

Took the sticks to the car, started it - since I didn't want to run on battery for potentially 90 minutes, inserted the first USB and watched the system ask me for the FSC. That in-putted it will then download from the sticks, asking for the next when complete. At the end it reboots and a minute or two afterwards you can see the new map version. Total time just at an hour to do the update.

Pretty slick and a tenth of the price of the retail version. : -)
