How much do you pay for maps updates / fsc codes?

makkan00 · 05-17-2013, 01:23 PM

Hi
Just wonders how much forum members pay for cic map updates with fsc codes?
Trying to think if its worth of investing on this side?
What sort of price would you be happy to pay for maps update with insertion of fsc codes?
Thanks.

makkan00 · 05-17-2013, 01:27 PM

Forgot to mention that car has to be with me.
And just checking the interest.

When you try to update the maps, your car ask for code (fsc) and that can be bought from stealers.
There is a way around it and many people sell the codes.

60 Euro...

fulcrum · 05-17-2013, 02:48 PM

yep £60 euro plus the OEM maps at £22

gurpswoo1 · 05-17-2013, 03:14 PM

I paid €50 for my code, you should be able to get the disc on the forum for 2013 part 1 in the Classified section.

No way would I pay Stealer prices, they quoted me £275, something about needing the car and a wireless connection.

Thats just it though, you can get hold of the maps via bit torrent, from the dealers or there are a set of DVDs doing the rounds as it were. You pay your 50 Euros to a well known person for the code, they email you and its all done in your drive/work carpark in next to no time by yourself. That said, you are the coding guru!

Shamefully, I havent yet done it myself lol!

Good luck

Hi sam

I just updated my nav maps to europe premium map 2013-2 via usb

50 dollars that's 33 pounds.

USB update take about 40 mins you can drive the car around if you stop the maps update will just start up once you start the car again

were as the DVD set will take about 3 to 4 hours and you can't move the car until the update is finished

Stealer sell the DVD for 23 inc vat but getting the USB version is a nightmare and the FSC is 180 inc vat

Thats where it stops me. If people can do this in their own convenience, why would they come to me?

Only few members may be interested as they do not want to mess anything / not confident to do it.

Where did you get the usb version?

Thanks all of you who responded. Sounds like I should stay away.

xs2man · 05-18-2013, 02:13 AM

You can DL the USB version from tinterweb...

Hopeful · 05-18-2013, 03:27 AM

USB version is no different to DVD version (unless you're downloading iso images).

Ajerthan · 05-18-2013, 12:45 PM

£50 from eBay mate. Unless you can sell for cheaper I believe its not worth it.

MEGA · 05-19-2013, 04:37 AM

50 euros for the code and maps are free of Internet. I would not pay more than this.

It's not true about the dvd version you can continue using the car, even using the nav if you want. I updated mine over a few days. When you switch the car back on it will resume from where it was before you just have to cycle through the discs you've already used, it takes about 5 mins for the car to get back to where it was.

The process is very simple, if someone is so into their car that they post on a forum about it then they can do it themselves. The market is for people who just use their cars but the problem is they probably don't realise that the map is updateable or that you are capable of doing it.

If you were to offer the fsc codes on the forum then I bet you could make a few quid out of it as the maps are easy to get hold of but the code isn't something we can get without paying for it.

Pharodox · 06-09-2013, 01:41 PM

Do you have a link to the DVDs???

doughboy · 06-09-2013, 03:13 PM

DVD's or usb version all free on torrent sites. DVD's can be stop / start installed also.

FSC codes €50 online. Search on here.

Already cheap and easy IMO.
