My Sat Nav shows Eastern Europe

Post by B10BRW » Tue Jul 05, 2022 2:43 pm

Having searched for a long time for a Sat Nav update for my 2011 E93 and asked on various forums for help in finding same I had come up with zero.
Then I found “ Bimmernavi updates”, who I thought were based in the US, for 70 dollars they would send me a USB with a 2022 Western European update and forward me a BMW FSC code.
So far so good, then it all started to go wrong, I had to chase them several times before they finally sent me a USB from Slough!!.
When I downloaded the USB I found to my dismay they had sent a USB for Eastern Europe.
My screen shows:
ECE
BMW Group
411211.2.14
Road Map Europe East Premium (USB) 2022

Having asked repeatedly for the correct update, I was finally sent another USB, which was again for Eastern Europe :evil:
Any further attempts to get the correct USB has been met with lies and broken promises, I purchased the first USB nearly 3 months ago.
I have managed to get my money back via Paypal, but am left with a Sat Nav which is useless, unless I want to Navigate around Moscow :wall2
Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this problem would be appreciated.

I have tried to put the above post on the E90 forum on Facebook, but keep on getting declined anybody have any idea why :?

It is not a disc I need as my E93 has the CIC system, with the correct update on a USB (flash drive)it is done through a port in the Glove box.
The problem I am having is finding a USB with the correct update that does not cock up my Sat Nav system :(

Thanks to a very nice chap on the E90post forum, I now have a fully functioning up to date Western Europe Sat Nav :yahoo:

I sent him my useless USB and he was able to download the correct map for me, popped down today and he installed it for me and made sure it was working.
