Hey guys I need a quick response. I took my car in for standard oil service and convinced them to do a software upgrade. Now they are claiming i'm at the latest software, is there anyone who can confirm? I'm pretty sure I'm not.

F010-14-03-502

Any idea's?

Thanks,
Josh

 

If your I-Step Current (not I-Step Shipment) is F010-14-03-502, there have been 4 newer versions since then:

F010-14-03-502
F010-14-03-503
F010-14-07-503
F010-14-07-504
F010-14-07-505

 

Disregard, dealer said they have an update and will let me know what it is shortly.

On another note I have a nice 535D loaner. Pretty fun and nice car. Too bad no manual was ever available.

 

Thanks, I wonder if I can trust the dealer or if I need to bring my PC and cable

Any chance this would give me Idrive 4.2 ?

 

If you have NBT, you would get iDrive 4.2 firmware. But, you would not get iDrive 4.2 Coding unless you VO Code NBT afterwards with >= 0713 build date.

 

Okay so in theory this upgrade give me 4.2 idrive and I can open up new coding options if I code the different build date. Did I understand that correctly?

 

Yes.

Your car has 606 Business Navigation instead of 609 Professional Navigaiton. I do not know if BMW Apps will work for it.

 

Hi Shawn,
Could you please help me with a good supplyer of a 6NR FSC (Now when spotify is integrated )

Thanks in advance

"Hi Shawn, just read through all the posts and am very impressed with what you are doing here. Cheers..

I'm from Australia and BMW Apps (6NR) is not a factory option here (well at least for e84 X1). Hence, BMW AU won't do this retrofit. Came across Bimmer Retrofit but the amount they are asking is quite a lot than your source. So, I'm wondering if that price from your source is for OEM retrofit only (meaning those vehicles who could factory fit the option through dealer as well). And the ultimate question is, would those FSC codes work for me as well?

After going through all the posts here I had the impression that importing fsc codes using e-sys is not too hard. Would it be any different in my case? Do I need to do anything extra to activate apart from just importing fsc codes?

Are these fsc codes reusable? Like ECU coding can I set them back to the initial state and have them back when needed? This is so that BMW Service don't notice this so that I won't be in trouble coz I'm just 6 mths into my 3 yrs warranty & 4 yrs free servicing.

Thanks in advance.."

Sorry for the double post I don't know how this happened

 

The 6NR FSC Code is OEM, as in ordered from and issued by BMW AG for your VIN. If you have CIC and Combox, there is no reason it would not work for you.

Since you have Exx car, Importing and Activating is more difficult for you. You need a copy FSTool, which is near impossible to find, and difficult to use if you can, so your best bet is using ISTA/P, or having someone with FSTool do it remotely for you.

It is not reusable. Once it is imported in the Head Unit, it is there forever.

BTW, does e-sys work with e84 series as well?

 

Oh ok.. so does that mean I could get the fsc codes of your source and if I could find a way to import them I could use them fine? If so plz PM me their details will ask them if they do remote importation/activation as well coz official ISTA/P licence download price is insensible for personal use. Also, is there a way to code them so that BMW service can't get them wiped out? BTW, I have 6NS base plate so do I have any chance that I already have video capability? I don't have 6NF though. These 6NF, 6NH, 6NS etc etc options are making me scratch my brains out.. should you require my vin is vx38204. Thanks heaps..

 

First see if you can get the FSC Code. If so, Apps can be coded to work PM sent.

FSC Code source will not do any work on your car though.

If you get FSC Code, contact user cn555ic:

https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/member.php?u=270700

He can do this remotely on Exx car for you.

Your base plate will not have analog video connection. BMW added the FBAS Video Lines from the Base Plate to the CIC only when 6NR was added to the build sheet.

 

How about then get the 6NR fsc codes frm your source then buy 6NF base plate separately and have them remotely imported/activated? USB/AV in the armrest requires cutting to make place coz X1 has USB/AUX in the dashboard underneath radio and not in the centre armrest. Bimmer retrofit also confirmed that for me even the USB/AV option will only play iPhone videos. I just want to retain OEM look without any cables hanging around I didn't like this idea and this way BMW service as well won't be able to tell straight away tat there's sth fishy going on

 

But your 6NR FSC Code will still likely be cancelled by ISTA/P.

 

Then I guess for now I'll be better off buying a portable CD/DVD drive to convert videos to DVD in my Surface Pro rather than a 6NR/6NF retrofit Maybe after warranty expires then look into retrofitting what will be available then..

Also, I was told that depending on how BMW wipes the fsc code it could be not as easy to import fsc codes later. Is there possibility for them to make it impossible to re-import again?

 

Thanks Shawn for all your help. I guess I should just wait, save and do the complete NBT retrofit

 

So it is not possible to play videos from iphone 5/5s with CIC and 6NR? Can this aftermarket video port be used to play video from other sources, or does it require iphone plugged in?

 

No, it won't work. You need the 4th generation Apple device with iOS.

 

6nr question

What I would have to do to get 6NR in my 2011 f25 with navi pro and combox? (11/2011)

 

What I would have to do to get 6NR in my 2011 f25 with navi pro and combox? (11/2011)

I believe this thread already explains it all, but in summary, BMW Apps requires adding 6NR to VO, obtaining a 9C FSC Code issued by BMW AG for your VIN, Importing and Activating the FSC Code in Head Unit, and Coding, all of which can be done with E-Sys. With CiC, you will get all of BMW Apps except you will still not have Video and iPod out GUI functions as there is no FBAS Video Connection from the 6NF Base Plate if present nor the Center Armrest USB Port to back of CIC.

 

How to add 6nr to VO and where can I get Fsc code?

Where do I Enter FSC code in this proces and do I have to do changes to hardware of my car ( usb cable) in order to get BMW apps to work.

 

What you ask is already explained in this very thread.

See my Post #7 regarding FSC Import and Activation:

http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7645433&postcount=7

And as I wrote above, you only need to add hardware if you want Video / iPod Out function, as that requires FBAS Video lines run from 6NF Baseplate or modification of the 6FL USB Port.

 

guys, whats the code to activate the visual volume on the idrive?

 

HU_NBT => VOLUME_POPUP_DISPLAY = aktiv

But how is that relevant to the subject of this thread "All BMWs Guide for, how to import FSC 9C code, 6NR"? :dunno:

 

thank you

 

Guys
Sorry if I missed this but a question.

I have F010-11-03-510 i level on my CIC. It allowed me to activate 6NR without FSC code.

However, I have updated the whole car and wondering if there is a way to generate FSC code for 6NR or get it without spending silly prices just to update CIC.


It will be very illogical for me to update CIC and then spend good amount of money to have bmw applications?

or Shall I forget updating CIC?

Because you have F10, only clever options are:
1. Don't update CIC
2. Update CIC and buy 9C FSC-code that costs a bit under 200 euros.

 

l'd be interested in the $233 FSC for F10 NBT

Shawn,
What is the FSC import procedure for Exx cars, ESYS its not a option isn't?

 

Must use FSTool, which is difficult to get, or ISTA/P.

 

Hi.
Please tell me where I can buy 9c FSC codes for NBT
thx
