Lads I am a complete novice to everything I'm reading 😂😂 extracting unzipping I don't have a clue can someone run through the process and what to do. my maps on car are Evo and are on 2016-2.
There are a few steps to the map update process
Check what maps your car is running (it looks like you know this)
Find a site that will let you download the update for your maps
Download the maps to your computer
The maps will probably be in a compressed files format such as ZIP as they are very big files (30GB - 40GB)
Uncompress the files to the format your car needs them in using an app that can extract ZIP format files
Copy the uncompressed files to a USB stick/external drive (at least 64GB capacity)
Plug the device into your car (engine running)
Your car should recognise that the files on the device are an update for the files in your car and prompt you through the update steps
If your car is more than 3 years old (it looks like yours is) your will be asked for an FSC code before the update can proceed (unless a previous owner has entered one).
You can purchase 2 types of FSC code, a one time update or a lifetime code. They pretty much do what they say, let you perform 1 update or cover you for all update to that car (they are generated based on the VIN number). You can buy a code from various places online or your Mini dealer.
After entered a valid code the car will copy the files from the USB device, as the files are so big this can take up to an hour, just go for a nice drive while this take place.
When complete the sat nav will reboot and you can check the update is complete by looking your map version.
Disconnect your USB device
