Hi all

is there an easy way to reprogram fsc codes back to the cic?

I know of fs tool but I get errors when executing commands on it.

do you have to pre patch the cic before you do this? are there any step by step guides a pre requisites I'm missing?

I ran FSC TOOLS and got the attached screenshot and I guess this is why my sat nav is greyed out as it doesn't have a cert. I paid for a bunch of certs from someone on gps underground that matched my vin and was told to use fstool but as mentioned, I get errors when executing the commands such as store cert and check cert etc.

if anyone can help or even remotely access...I will happily pay. I'm pulling my hair out with this now and even wondering if it's worth replacing cic all together for an android unit or if an emulator would fix the issues I'm having?

please help

This is the best guide I've seen. I use this process. I don't use FSC Tools...

Thanks Sensible. Just tried replying to your PM but your inbox is full again LOL Your a popular man!

Ill check out that thread now and have read through.

Im guessing from the screenshot i uploaded, ill need to re-load my FSC codes back into CIC?

This was what i used first. the head unit patch wouldnt work using numerous USB sticks and i thought this is because my firmware is so old?

I got stuck at step7 where executing the commands didnt work and failed.

Did you try with FS-TOOL 2 or only with FSC Tools? I never used FSC Tools before...

[FunkyProtein]

tried with fs tools 2. Was a fiddle to get working with the java version and path it wanted. Then you have to run the batch file for car server and then the other batch file to run fs tool 2.

Does the patch matter or not before you try fstool 2?

Can you explain in steps exactly what you have done so far. And also exactly what is in this package someone made you? Thanks.

Hi Sensible

Ive attached the screenshot of the files i was sent and the PDF of the instructions i was sent to follow for the e90 as well.

however, the instructions i were sent are similar but not identical to the ones you posted if you see?

I couldnt patch my HU so i left that part out. Tried many sticks and no reboot.

FS Tool was set up correctly but i simply followed those instructions i was sent and failed to execute the first set of files, maybe because the files i was told to load in my instructions were different to what yours said?

thanks
Steve

FYI i paid for these codes from a guy on gps underground called D Conner

Ok, that package is for script activation. It's freely available...

This is not really a recommended method anymore. However there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

What USB are you using? Try using a 4gb one. Format in FAT32.

Also make sure that copie_scr.sh is in the root of the USB. Don't have it in any folder.

Also, you are putting it in the correct USB port? In glove box, not centre console?

Also, check script is like this:

#!/bin/ksh
set -A etc 17 18 19 1A 1B
while true ; do
for code in ${etc[@]}
do
swt="/mnt/HBpersistence/00"$code"0001.swt"
if [ ! -e $swt ]; then
touch $swt
fi
done
sleep 5;
done

Hi Sensible

Thanks for the advice. I had Nickco remote access my laptop last night while i was connected to the car. He did various checks and found FSC codes were fine but my CIC was indeen C09 which i beleive is very early CIC.

To be able to use the USB method, my CIC needs to be flashed to the latest version to enable this and for my Sat nav to become functional. I have found a supplier on ebay that will update my CIC to latest version and install latest maps for £100 and this I will go this route. Ill have to re-code the unit once back to put on my changes ive made but as long as I have the sat nav working, ill be happy!

Tested my vin on a decoder website and found that my CIC was fitted from factory with pro sat nav which explains the old version (car is registered in 2008).

So this leads me to think that how often do new firmware updates come out and is it worth staying up to date with the latest version? Or is CIC no longer updated as NBT is the latest idrive installment?

Thanks Again

Steve

Ok. I think I said this was the case in your first thread?

The best option for you is to send it off for the update.

The CIC is now obsolete. I doubt there will be any further updates...

you did indeed mate! I was just hoping that I had read it wrong or by some slim chance there was something that could be easily changed.

At least we got to the bottom of it now though.

thanks all for your help, I'll save this info in my ever growing coding folder.

Bumping this, I used fs tool 2 to put my retrofitted cic into "Check Fsc" in order to update maps.

Where can I get an FSC package for 6F (sirius) - is it only via dealer? curious if another way has been found after all of these years.

Did you change the VIN in your CIC? My CIC crashed and I replaced with used from different VIN. I used an emulator originally to restore navfunction but would like to do it ‘right’ if for no other reason than the challenge.

I Did not change the Vin in the cic, which is why I had to use the fs tool to update my maps

Nice, thanks for sharing

Hi all,

I am having issues with navigation being greyed out.

I retrofitted a 2010 E60 CIC headunit into my 2009 E61 and used an emulator a few years back. Generated map codes and updated them couple of times. Recently I thought it removing the emulator and doing script activation. Yesterday I removed the emulator and virginized cic using script method and then generated my own fsc files using fstool2 and uploaded them to CIC exactly as mentioned in the tutorial attached above. At each step, all jobs are excecated successfully. Generated navigation code and activated as well and it worked. Today morning, I went out to update maps to 2021 from 2020 and it said the dreaded message Navigation -> function currently not available.

Checked fsc status with FSC tools 2.18 and here are the results






Here is the link for all screenshots

I have been trying to get this resolved for few months now and couldnt get it to work. Even willing to pay someone to sort this out. I can give another try if someone can send me the fsc files for my VIN (its that magic archive that everyone mentions in tutorials to unpack for use with fstool2). Not sure if the ones that I am generating are any good.

thanks in advance for any help

Hello guys.
I want to back up all genuine fsc stored in cic from donor car. For instance backing them up in a seperate folder in my computer. How should I do that? I could't see a way to pull up fsc from cic. There's only info about checking fsc status and sending fsc to cic in many forums.
