I'd like to perform some updates to the Mini Connected software on our 2011 R56-S.

Two related questions:

Quesiton 1

• I've downloaded UPD01008.bin from the BMW website
• Freshly formatted a 32GB USB stick as FAT32
• Copied UPD01008.bin on to the USB stick
• Inserted the USB stick into the glovebox USB socket
• Navigated to Software Update on the Mini Connected display

The display reads "No USB device with software connected to the USB audio interface....."

I read somewhere that I should use the USB socket in the central armrest instead? Having looked closely at and inside the armrest I'm struggling to find anything that looks like a USB socket.

Question 2

• If I purchase a 2019 sat-nav update (USB rather than DVD) which USB socket should I be using?
• Assuming I can ever find the central one... ;-)

Thanks,

Steve

On my 2011 Cooper there is a USB socket just below the row of switches forward of the gear stick.

Incredible. I'd never had my head down that low to spot it. Many thanks!
