FSC Activation Code

niko14 · Feb 6, 2013

ok i have a Sirius FSC activation code for my F10 M5. How do i go about activating it ?

Assuming i do the following: Esys comfort mode and use upgrade FSC ??? what VO do i specify ?

Any direction appreciated.

Well, that is the basic idea, but only the tip of the iceberg.

When you got your SAT Radio FSC Code, you should have received 3 files:

e.g. xxxxxxx_006F0001.xml
e.g. xxxxxxx_006F0001.der (FSC Code Certificate)
e.g. xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc (FSC Code)

E-Sys => Options => Settings => FSC Tab => Certificate Field:

Load FSC Code Certificate (e.g. xxxxxxx_006F0001.der)

E-Sys => Comfort Mode => FSC => FSC Field:

Load FSC Code (e.g. xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc. The FSC Code file must first be Base 64 Decoded or else E-Sys can not read it. (Use B64Dec for Decoding - http://4mhz.de/b64dec.html).

FA Field: Select "Read FA" to use cars current VO.

Parameter Fields: (Example for Sat Radio FSC Code and CIC):

Diagnostic Address (hex) = 63 (99 in Decimal for HU_CIC; I think the same for HU_NBT)
Application Number (dec) = 111 (6F in Hexidecimal - In FSC File Name, e.g xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc)
Base Variant = HU_CIC (CIC module name, e.g. HU_CIC, HU_NBT, etc.)
Upgrade Index = 1 (In FSC File Name, e.g xxxxxxx_006F0001.fsc))

Select "Upgrade FSC" to Import and Activate FSC Code.

Select "Check FSC Status", and you should see:

----------
AppID 111
UpgradeIndex 1
SWTType SWTclassic full
FSCStatus accepted
FSCCertStatus accepted
----------

My 216 FSC has arrived in the form of 3 files of xxxxxxx_00830001.xxx.

Its AppID is deduced as HEX 83 (DEC 131).

. is Base Variant EPS? Diagnostic address?

. upgrade index will be "1". since there is no prior 216 FSC in the car before, for this initial importation, do I still use "Upgrade FSC" instead of "Write FSC" or "Update FSC"?

. when do we use "Write FSC" , "Update FSC"

. when do we use the .xml file?

thanks in advance!

I'm not sure why E-Sys just don't use the XML file though, as it contains both the FSC and the certificate

shawnsheridan · Nov 1, 2013

True, but that's just how it is. It can only process the .fsc file Base 64 Decoded.

izen · Nov 1, 2013

glad to report the 216 fsc import and activation was just done.

added VO 216 first and then fsc check, DME[?] and EPS showed up missing FSC along with retrofit HU_NBT.

after fsc upgrade, in EPS, FSCStatus accepted, but FSCCertStatus unknown.

started engine, the steering became very light at low speed. that should be the feel of servotronic. [my previous car was e46, guess no servotronic with it so i can't really tell the difference.]

rechecked fsc, EPS gone, leaving only retrofit HU_NBT there.

Thanks Shawn and others here for the help. This has essentially saved me eur 200 activation fee as the local dealer insists only to sell the fsc code to me with the bundled activation service.

The local dealer was still telling me yesterday they were negotiating with Munich, trying to bend the rule for me after I protested. While frustrated, I just decided to buy the code from another dealer from Germany and it arrived today.

shawnsheridan · Nov 1, 2013

Glad it worked for you.

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

What is the fsc code?

shawnsheridan · Nov 25, 2013

FSC Code for what? I don't understand your question.

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

are there many fsc code? for example if i'd like add 6NK or another option in FA......do i need the FSC code?

shawnsheridan · Nov 25, 2013

Yes, there are many FSC Codes, but Bluetooth does not have one, so you do not have to worry about it.

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

how many FSC code? thanks i'd like study about coding

shawnsheridan · Nov 25, 2013

Way too many to list, but the primary ones you are most likely to encounter are Navigation Application, Navigation Enabler, Navigation Map, Voice Control, Satellite Radio, BMW Apps, Speed Limit Information, and Night Vision.

We discussed the BMW Apps one already...

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

mmm....navigation map and BMW Apps are important for me. what are speed limit information and night vision?

shawnsheridan · Nov 25, 2013

Vehicle Options:

S611A BMW Night Vision
S8THA SPEED LIMIT INFO

You can read about them on BMW's website.

to activate active beam what i need?

shawnsheridan · Nov 25, 2013

What "beam"?

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

when the xeno light turn with the car

shawnsheridan · Nov 25, 2013

excuse me, i wrong......BMW Adaptive Light

S524A Adaptive Headlights requires no FSC Code. So, add the AHL Hardware and code the car if you want.

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

excuse me, i wrong......BMW Adaptive Light

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

many thanks for your support.....it's very important for me. write you later for another option. thanks

Seaisfreedom · Nov 25, 2013

in new price guide of bmw f20 there is write new option 6NS and there isn't 6NK. do you know it?

economi$t · Dec 16, 2013

who knows how to activate the Navi cic to e series with fsc code files without ista

vince59 · Dec 18, 2013

Shawn, I found different parameters settings for esys when extracting the "file" for FSC and I am a little bit confused. Can you please confirm the following are the correct ones for the HU_NBT in a f25 coded with data 50.4?

diagnostic address: 63 (0x63)
application number: DE (0xDE)
base variant: HU_NBT
upgrade index: 1 (0x01)

Thanks

shawnsheridan · Dec 19, 2013

Yes, those are correct for NBT Head Unit. The Base Variant is different and the App ID in the case of this feature which is Navi Enabler.

I'm trying to understand how the generator works FSC to update maps navigation. The program FSCToolKit taken on a Chinese website. However, it throws an error that I did not understand. How can you translate it?
P.S. This is the Google translation. I don't know English.

vince59 · Dec 21, 2013

Hi many of us are trying to decode the FSC...some have it (vladim from russia) but they are selling for a lot of money. I respect the effort by others but I do not accept when they keep the price too high to avoid the diffusion of the program and to be the only to have this. It will come the day someone else will be able...
I am not expert to the point of being able to develop by myself but I will cooperate as much as I can. If you want to share your software to do some studies I am available. You can contact me at hotspot47@hotmail.com.

Hi. I still don't understand, but the code FSC to update the maps of 3 parts. Further information for my navigation ( Europe NAVIPROF CIC ). 1 part 19 of the code, the second part of the file 1B of the CIC and 3 part SWID.

1 and part 2 are unchanged for code generation one machine changes only 3 part.

You do not need FSC Code for 6UH Traffiic,

FYI. Those FSC Codes are SDARS (Sat Radio), BNW Apps, and Arabic Language.

stealth98 · Jan 19, 2014

Thank you, Ive added 6UH to the VO and wrote the VO to the car. After that I set TI_TPEG , TI_CA_TPEG to active, but RTTi is not appearing in the services list. How can i make use of RTTI (6UH).

does my car have Sat radio, BMW apps present and can both be enabled?

shawnsheridan · Jan 19, 2014

I don't know why your RTTi isnt working. Is HU_XXX => TI_CA_TMC = aktiv?

You cant enable 6NR Apps without a working AppID 156(0x9C) FSC Enabling Code, and even then, if you have CIC, you will not get Video nor iPod Out functions.

stealth98 · Jan 20, 2014

TI_CA_TMC and TPEG_TAP are also active, but still no RTTI.....

Is it possible that RTTI is blocked by BMW? I have a valid ConnectionDrive subscription, and BMW online and internet is working through the combox.

shawnsheridan · Jan 20, 2014

Yes. I believe RTTi is comes from BMW Assist account, and VIN in CMB_ECALL must be white-listed on BMW portal. You should see Traffic as a service under iDrive services if VIN is allowed.

stealth98 · Jan 20, 2014

Dear Shawn, thanks again. :thumbup:

Just to be sure, I've written de new VO with 6UH to HU_CIC, CMB_ECALL and CMB_MEDIA. Are these the only modules involved for 6UH?

Is it possible to use a donor VIN which has option code 6UH in CMB_ECALL ? How is the VIN calculated. I see hex codes and don't want to make a mistake.

shawnsheridan · Jan 20, 2014

Not possible. Because it is a calculated value, it will change itself back to real VIN.

stealth98 · Jan 28, 2014

I've changed the VIN in CMB_ECALL with a VIN which has option 6UH from factory enabled. The value was not changed back to the orginial value. Even after 1 night the donor VIN was still present in CMB_ECALL. RTTI didn't appear in the ConnectedDrive services list, but I lost myInfo.

After changing back to the original VIN myInfo was restored and messages appeared again.

It seems that ConnectedDrive uses another VIN value somewhere stored to determine the available ConnectedDrive services.

Hi,

I would linke to extract the DE FSC to generate the latest Map FSC, but somehow the size is not 319 Bytes when using ESYS.

I do select
diagnostic address: 63 (0x63)
application number: DE (0xDE) actually 169, since my version of esys is asking for a Dec code here.
base variant: HU_NBT
upgrade index: 1 (0x01)

StoreFSC - press read, start, write - but then I would expect 319 Bytes of binary data - but only get a short text.

Any hint on where I am going wrong?

Thanks,

Frank

vince59 · Feb 7, 2014

did you solve it?

TheBigDog · Jan 29, 2014

I didn't think there was a generator for NBT....

Dr.Frankenstein · Feb 7, 2014

Yes,

I updated to ESYS 3.23, and used DE as Application it - this gives me the Hex form of the FSC.

I also foud SWID_Reader today to actually use with NBT, which basically reads the 00DE0001.fsc as easy as with CIC.

I am happy to attach it, if someone is interested...

Frank

g4movtpt · Mar 24, 2014

Hi guy, i am with the same issue you are. Would you mind to send me the software for generate my own code for map. for my NBT ?
I think i already know how to read my DE file.
Here you have my EMAIL: SERGIOLIBERTO@TERRA.COM
thanks a lot my friend.
