Screwed up my F30 nav

I tried to update my EntryNav on 2014 F30 using FSC code generator. Didn't realise at the time that this doesn't work for Route maps so nothing was updated. Problem is the nav unit is now asking for a code each time I try and use it. Is there any way to revert it back to previous working config?

I would suggest you to buy a navigation update from BMW.
Use the FSC code you get from them.

Can’t see a reason why that wouldn’t work.

That's kinda what I'm trying to avoid, BMW charge big money for something I will rarely use.

Can't understand why it doesn't just revert to the old code it had, like I said, nothing was updated.

Try using ConnectedDrive navigation update feature. Doesn't cost that much?

Leave the car off for a few hours, should hopefully sort itself out. When i started doing map updates myself, the first time I generated the FSC code incorrectly and I had the same, left the car for a few hours and it sorted itself out.

It's been weeks now dude, still says "Enter activation code" every time I start the nav up.

I can see the factory map is still installed, can't understand why the factory code isn't being recognised?

You wiped out the old code.

How do you expect to get it back now?
