Updating Navigation Map Data

[Yuille36]

I'm new to the F80 M3, but have owned many other Bimmers in the past. I'm looking for a easy solution to updating my F80 maps to the most recent version. My car is a 2017, with the North America EVO 2016-2 map version, and my system is the NBTevo_Y232361
I went to Bimmer-Remote Coding, but been having all kinds of issue trying to install their software updates. A lot of emails going back and forth to them. Any advice from some of the smart people here would be greatly appreciated.

I have already reached out to your company, and they actually had a solution for my issue. They provided me with more detailed instructions, so I tested it and was able to get past my issue.
I plan to install it this weekend. Thank you for your response, it was very much appreciated.

For the first issue, I found was that the software wasn't connecting the data base to authenticate the code I was provided. Bimmer-Remote Coding provided me with a new code. I then installed the software, but then had the blue screen of death. Reached back out to Bimmer-Remote Coding again, and was advised to reinstall it. So, I reinstalled the software again, and thankfully it installed with no issues. Everything is working like it should, and I noticed a definite improvement with the Navigation software and the maps. It now shows roads the are congested in red.

This has been challenging, but I pushed thru and very happy with the update. Better than buying from Bimmer Tech for $160 and BMW wanted much more then $36 from Bimmer-Remote Coding.
