Yes.
Buy the 3 disk DVD set, then find someone to sell you the FSC activation code- do it yourself. The FSC code is purchased from a BMW dealer or someone with access to the BMW system. Usually the parts guys order it and give it to the techs. THe FSC code is a digital convolution of the map SWID number with your specific VIN. So the FSC code will only work to load THAT map on THAT car. I purchased the map DVDs for just under $10. Yes, ten. I've been quoted 100 to 200 for the FSC code. Still working on it. A |

$400-450 seems to be what I've been hearing.
BMW has been sending out emails about the 2011 update, with $199 pricing, but when you actually inquire and they discover it is a CIC hard drive, they tell you to call the dealership. |

Sorry, I forget.. Is CIC the older unit and CCC the newer unit?
(and what does it stand for?) |

CIC is the newer (computer in car perhaps?)
CCC is the older 'dedicated DVD drive in the dash' system. |

OK, so why do they care if it's newer?
When we started the actual car delivery, they hadn't received the code yet so the dealer gave it to me and said I may need to enter it. Shortly before we finished, however, they received the code and entered it for me. So it's not like - at least at my dealer - they OBJECT to an owner doing it themselves.. Strange. Well, the roads change so often here I'll probably be looking at an update late this year. May I be so bold as to ask where you're trying to negotiate for your code? |

The code you are talking about may be one of several codes...most notable is the FSC code to active Sirius service- this is supposed to be done at the dealer since it also starts the subscription. The maps are preloaded and only need new codes for new maps. I am guessing my source is not in the USA, and may or may not be a "bmw dealer". They may work at a dealer.... We shall see.... |
