Keeping your BMW navigation system up-to-date is crucial for smooth journeys, and if you’re driving with an older map, you’re missing out! This guide will walk you through updating your BMW’s navigation system to the latest BMW Road Map NORTHERN AFRICA NEXT 2022 using a USB drive. This method is tailored for BMWs equipped with the PROFESSIONAL Navigation system and CIC iDrive interface.
Before you begin, it’s essential to verify that your BMW has the correct system. This update process is specifically for vehicles with PROFESSIONAL Navigation and the CIC iDrive system. You can usually check your current navigation version within the iDrive menu itself or by using your car’s VIN on a BMW VIN decoder website to view your car’s original specifications. This method was successfully tested on a 2011 528i with Pro Nav and CIC iDrive, confirming its compatibility.
To proceed with the update to the BMW Road Map NORTHERN AFRICA NEXT 2022, you will need to acquire the map data. While specific download links can become outdated quickly, a good starting point is to search BMW forums. Websites like Bimmer-Tech offer valuable information regarding CIC navigation updates and can point you towards relevant resources. Similarly, forums such as e90post often host discussions and links to map updates provided by other users. Look for threads discussing “BMW Road Map NORTHERN AFRICA NEXT 2022” downloads for CIC systems.
Once you’ve located the download, you’ll likely receive the map data in RAR files. Use a program like WinRar to extract these files. The extracted data will be in folders, typically labeled as USB_DVD_01
, USB_DVD_02
, and so on. For the update process, you’ll need to copy the contents of these folders onto separate USB drives, starting with USB_DVD_01
for the first USB drive.
The navigation update process via USB can take around 50 minutes. It’s crucial to ensure a stable power supply to your BMW throughout the update. Either keep your engine running or, ideally, connect a battery tender to prevent battery drain during the update. With the map data prepared on your USB drive and a stable power supply, you’ll be ready to update your BMW CIC Navigation to the BMW Road Map NORTHERN AFRICA NEXT 2022 and enjoy the latest maps for your travels in Northern Africa.
