As I suspected, the VIN in your nav unit seems not the one from your car. If that 1B file does not work for activation, the firmware on the unit is probably a modified one for which another private key is needed to generate an activation code.

On a side note: currently, BMW chooses to use very high numbers for the release code. For the european map (0x28), the code for 2025-2 is 0x86. They started at 0x00, then went on in small increments starting from 2008. In 2020, they started to make bigger steps. Why do I tell? Because back in 2012, everbody believed that a release value of, say, 0x80, would be a "lifetime" code, because it is higher than anything that was anticipated back then. With 0x86 needed for 2025-2, that "lifetime" code would need to be renewed.

Ask me how I know? After 13 years, I needed a new code just today...

IDK how to proceed from here - AFAIK, you cannot reprogram the nav unit because you need a - pricey - activation code from BMW. The price for that is more or less the price for the unit itself (I remember it was ~2400€ back then). This is the main reason why that path wasn't taken in the first place and a CAN bus blocker is most probably installed to keep the car from shutting down the nav unit because of the VIN mismatch.

So, you need to contact your guy...

WOW, you're not too lucky either by the looks of it. I won't pay that much for a code, I'm sure the car isn't worth that much ) seems like I'm stuck with the 2014 version unless the guy will actually reply, which is highly unlikely. Thanks again for your help, at least now i know where i stand

copie_scr.sh is ONLY for CIC Head Units, not your ENTRYNAV Head Unit, and FSC Generator cannot make working ROUTE FSC Codes.

Is there no way to generate the FSC code for my case?

My map version is too old (2016-4).
I would like to update it to the new version.
I recorded the new version on a USB, and the car displayed the message - 'Please connect the USB device with the correct activation code.'
What should I do and how can I resolve this?

Hey yall, seems like the right place to ask my question. My f10 navigation tab is blackened on my head unit and has been that way since i bought the car. Reading forums told me that i just needed my navigation updated. Though bimmer america, i bought the 2025 NBT/NEXT map update. Downloaded it to my USB, and plugged it in. Of course, they asked for the FSC code. Bimmer america "gave" me my code that associated with my vin#, but my cars saying its incorrect. Checking DTC's there's 0 head unit codes (they mentioned that could be the issue) and im fairly confident its the original head unit. I have no idea how all this works, can someone potentially dummy this down for me on what to do? I paid almost $120 for the maps, and would hate for it to go to waste. Also, I tried downloading this FSC generator on page 1 of the forum, and its saying its been inactive for too long? Im trying to follow the forum but im just lost...
Thank you!

They would not send incorrect code for your VIN. Something is wrong with your Head Unit. Need to check all FSC Code Status using ENET Cable and E-Sys/

[LordJesusOfPringles]

Appreciate the response. Been doing some digging I now DO believe my head unit was switched out (damn it!). Oh well, with that in mind if i got it correctly, i should be able to pull the fsc files using E-Sys, then input the file into the jagaer FSC code generator and if all goes well that should work? Stupid is written in my forehead but i wanna make sure i got everything understood.
Thanks!
