An FSC (Freischaltcode) is a digital activation code required by BMW to unlock software updates and features. Codes are unique to your car’s VIN and required for navigation data to be installed.

We supply LIFETIME codes which permanently activate your head unit to accept all future updates without the need for another activation code! Free updates for the life of the vehicle.
