Response time is roughly 20 min to get code/map link.

Thanks for the links! Got the map and code from this seller. Quick response with detailed instructions and tools needed for installation. No trouble updating the map.

I can't figure out what's wrong with my update this time. I tried 2 different UBC sticks (64GB and 128GB), formatted in either FAT32 and ExFAT as a MAC user, put all the 7 files in the root directory, but still my 2014 528 doesn't detect the USB drive. I got no prompt at all.

I had no problem updating the previous 2 maps with a lifetime code.

I was unable to make it work with Mac this time. Even with Windows-formatted drive, but files copied on Mac was not working for me. Used Windows machine - everything went smoothly.

Maybe there are some hidden files that need to be removed from a Windows machine. I don't have a Windows PC, so will need to find one somewhere.

Yes, hidden files from Mac needs to be removed. Try a windows machine from office or library.

There are several apps on the store that will clean offending files.

Where in the app is this ??

[alphaod]

Must be formatted MBR partition table with FAT32. Macs like to format with GPT by default.

In Windows get this app called Rufus to format. Extract directly from archive to the flash drive. Don’t copy to the desktop first or whatever.

Blue Harvest for Mac will clean up all the offending files in your USB thumb drive.

Can anyone help me with an FSC code?

When you say help you with it, is it:

A. You'd like to purchase one very cheap, perhaps a lifetime code for under $15 so you'll never have to buy one?

or

B. Looking for someone to help you remotely code with Esys to your VIN so you can get it for free?

[rheebro2]

Either one. Any suggestions?

Check page 3 of this thread, post 54 to be exact. I posted links to a seller on eBay that can get you a lifetime FSC code very quickly. I purchased one recently everything went smooth, don't have to worry about any future FSC code entries during map updates. Totally worth it, good luck.

Thank you for the link. Will these work for 2020-1 map update as well?
