Can't locate the other USB
I have a 2016 640d Gran Coupe in the UK. I need to update the maps and the usb under the armrest isn't the one I need to use. I can't find any other one. There is none where the cupholders are and none in, around, or underneath the glovebox.
Does it have one? I'm sure others have managed to update their maps, so there has to be a way. Thanks. Last edited by TSV; 11-30-2021 at 04:33 PM.. |

Hopefully someone with a RHD model will chime in. Those of us with LHD models & early builds (pre facelift) w/NBT ID4 have the USB in the roof of the glovebox.
If you have a RHD model, the steering wheel is located on the side of the car where the DATA/USB is located…so I’ve never heard (or don’t remember) any RHD owners mention where the USB port is located. Our owners manual (LHD) tells us where it is located…is this info missing in the RHD owners manual? EDIT: did a search for previous threads on this topic…below are some quotes from other forum members from Europe (RHD & diesel) owners Quote:

...... as your car is a 2016 I'm assuming it's an LCI therefore it's definitely the one by the cup holders under the flap at the front of the centre console - I've update my maps using that port a number of times

Is there a way to get free map upgrades?

Not free, but $75 for lifetime updates is pretty good. I used this source when I updated my maps about a year ago. No glitches!

I had several BMW in the past. According my experience the CIC systems (up to 2013) have the USB for map and system update in the glove box opposite to the driver seat.
The newer NBT systems (after 2014) do NOT have any USB slot on the glove box, but there the update is done via the USB in the central compartment, the same USB used for playing MP3 via memory stick. |

Anyone had a luck to update to NA 2023-23 maps?
I'm wondering if anyone was able to update their F06 with NBT to North America 2023-2 maps?
The 2023 maps do not fit 32GB USB drive anymore and my 2026 640ix doesn't recognise 64GB drive. |

BTW…you may miss someone that just updated to the 2023-2 maps because you posted your question in a thread that is about a different topic. A forum member with the answer may not even click on this thread since it is about the location of the other USB port….and nothing to do with nav map updates. FYI…I see request about updating to the latest maps across multiple F chassis BMWs. So if they can get the latest NBT maps, so can the f10. Good luck…post back if you find the answer to your question so that other forum member looking to update to the latest maps will also know that it can be done. I updated my 2015 f06 that has the NBT iDrive version to the 2023-1 maps back when they came out with no issue. I purchased a thumb drive with the maps already downloaded along with a lifetime FSC code. You can see a screen capture below that verifies the nav map date:
