- BMW's 2019 road maps include more roads, points of interest and other data than ever before. How to update your BMW maps? Older iDrive versions stored map data on a DVD that could be switched out for a update. The latest BMWs, however, store the map data on an internal hard drive, which can be updated either by uploading the latest map.
From Version 2015, the update is ONLY available as a USB set, so it must be borne in mind that the update can only be carried out without problems via the USB memory stick on cars built after 03/2010 or cars with firmware updated since 03/2010 (for example, all x35i models (335i, 535, etc) which were served under the N54 campaign in 2013 and had received a complete software update to the entire vehicle as part of that service can update to 2015 map using USB without any issues). You will receive the USB download links for maps and FSC activation code with complete installation instructions within a few hours since you have placed the order.
Cars made before 03/2010 with original firmware (no update since you bought the car), then you can ONLY update to 2014 map via DVDs, as the DVD version of 2015-2 map is NOT released at the moment.
We strongly recommend customers with cars made before 03/2010 to have your car firmware updated from local dealers in order to update the 2019-1 and future maps by USB memory stick.
