For E-sys you don’t need it to be activated with a token, that’s only used for coding, to generate the FCS file I just used E-sys, NOT E-sys Launcher like the first post says, this worked for me.

You must use the provide software to format the drive as FAT32, exFAT32 does not work.

I tried to move the zip file in to the FAT32 formatted 128gb stick and had an error ‘file too large’ So had to unzip the files first and then move them over.

During the update the car would go into sleep mode and the update would stop, so I ran the engine for 45min-1hr for the update to complete,
I suspect you can drive around while its updating, but you just can’t use the navi
Thanks for the info.

1. Edited 1st post & removed E-Sys Launcher.

2. FAT32 will not accept a file larger than 4GB.

3. You can buckle the driver side seatbelt. I always have a battery charger connected during map updates or coding. Don't recall the iDrive going to sleep.
