    Get in touch with Germaniks here on boards. He does all that kind of thing and I'd say for a lot less than €170.

    What type of idrive do you have? Is the Sat Nav DVD based or CIC/NBT?

    You can buy the DVD based maps off the net for about €25 or if CIC/NBT then you can download the files for free but would need to buy a generated FSC code based on the car's VIN from someone on one of the BMW forums for about €50, to decript the maps.

    $18 for a lifetime fsc

    Getting maps for free is time consuming.

    Might just pay €5 for 48hr access to fast download

    Last time I saw him he was working in Belfast (November). He usually comes back on Saturdays to a garage in near Rathcoole. May have changed since then though.

    Why do you need map updates, they've hardly opened a new motorway here since the crash?

    The maps cover more than just this country.

    Other countries have built roads.
