TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): SI B65 25 22, Date of Issue:  December 22, 2022
BMW: All Models in the US Market

SITUATION

For new vehicles in-stock, prior to the first delivery, the automatic activation of the Navigation System fails during QC1 (aka PDI).

The following message is displayed in ISTA:

"Activation of the navigation map without a manual order process could not be carried out successfully." 

CAUSE

ISTA is unable to access the BMW backend to generate or download the Navigation Enabling Code (FSC Enabling Code).

CORRECTION

If ISTA is unable to either request or install the Enabling Code  on the first attempt, a second attempt should be performed after the ISTA machine has been restarted.

If the second attempt fails, a manual process is available to order the INITIAL NAV enabling code and install it in the vehicle.

PROCEDURE

On the second attempt to automatically activate the Navigation system of the vehicle, please follow these steps:

  1. Shut down and restart the ISTA machine being used.
  2. Connect the battery charger to the vehicle.
  3. Connect the diagnosis system to the vehicle (ISTA 4).
  4. Run either of the following test plans:
    1. "ABL-DIT-AS6100_TRAMODE_RESET - Delete Transport Mode"
    2. "ABL-WAR-AS6100_SWT_UDS_AUTO - Automatically Enabling the Navigation"
  5. Clear all faults in the vehicle.
  6. Perform a function test of the Navigation System.

    If the second attempt to automatically activate the Navigation system fails, follow these steps to manually create and download the INITIAL Nav Map enabling code:

    1. Order the INITIAL NAV enabling code for the vehicle through your parts department. After the order is processed, it can take up to an hour to become available for download.
    2. Access the Enabling Code Service (ENCS) in the Dealer Universal Portal.
      G15351129
    3. For the INITIAL NAV enabling code, choose "Download". Only after a successful download of the initial Nav Map enabling code will it become available in the "Repair Kit" for the vehicle.
      G15351130
    4. Input the business number (dealer number) as seen in the area marked "1". Input the VIN as seen in the area marked "2" then press "Search". Once available, the Nav Map enabling code will appear below in the area marked as "3".
    5. Once downloaded, the Nav Map enabling code can be loaded onto a USB Drive and uploaded to the vehicle. Reference SIB 65 13 12 for more detailed instructions of this process.
