  • Improved “By File” and “By Date” workflows and input validation.
  • Faster FSC code checks and better error reporting.
  • UI polish and minor bug fixes for smoother operation.

How do I like a resource in order to download it ? I don't see a thumbs-up icon

Go to the first post in this thread (the resource overview post). Look at the bottom right corner of that specific post. You should see a "Like" link or button there.

Once you click it, refresh the page, and the download button at the top right of the resource page should unlock.

This is very common with these types of tools. Because of the nature of what they do (generating codes, interacting with system files, or sometimes just the way they are packed), antivirus heuristic scanning often flags them as generic threats.

If you want peace of mind, upload the specific EXE file to VirusTotal.com. You will likely see a few generic detections, but usually not specific threats from major engines.

Most of us have to create an exclusion/exception folder in our antivirus software and extract the tools there to use them.
 
When I unzip the BMW FSC GENERATOR 1.91 full vеrsiоn file I only see one .exe file, the FSC generator. I don't see the .exe file to read the information from my iDrive. Do I need to download another file ?

You are correct, they are two separate tools. The generator and the reader perform different functions.

  • The Reader (usually SWID_reader.exe) connects to your car via an ENET cable to download the 1B or DE file.
  • The Generator (BMW_CIC_FSC_Generator.exe) is a Windows application that uses the file from the reader to create the final activation code for your map update.

The SWID_reader.exe should be included in the main download package. Double-check the files you unzipped. Sometimes it's in a sub-folder. If you definitely don't have it, you may need to re-download the resource from the first post and ensure you extract everything from the archive.
 
I have downloaded the archive BMW FSC GENERATOR 1.91 again and tried extracting the contents with both WinRar and 7Zip but I still don't see SWID_reader.exe. I used the 'Find' facility in WinRar to search the archive but the file wasn't found.
Is the reader tool available elsewhere ?

Many thanks got the file now.
It looks like the default connection to the car is ethernet OBD adapter. I only have a Bluetooth or USB adapter. The config file seems to suggest PC Bluetooth can work but do I need additional software for this ? Or is easier to get a ethernet OBD adapter.

It depends on which car/head unit you are trying to read.

  • If you have an F-series (NBT/NBT Evo): You must use an ENET (Ethernet to OBD) cable. The SWID_reader tool works by connecting via TCP/IP network protocols, which Bluetooth adapters do not support in this context.
  • If you have an E-series (CIC): You typically use a K+DCAN USB cable. However, for E-series, the method is usually different (often using fsc.exe via command line with Ediabas, rather than the GUI SWID_reader).

Bluetooth adapters are generally designed for mobile apps (like BimmerCode or Torque) and do not handle the specific file transfer protocols required to pull the 1B/DE files on Windows.

I strongly recommend getting an ENET cable. They are very cheap (usually $10-$15) and are the standard tool for any coding or map updates on F-series cars. It will save you a lot of headaches compared to trying to configure a wireless connection.
