INFORMATION
The Car Information Computer (on Computer CIC) began replacing the Car Communication Computer (CCC) on vehicles with option 609 back in September of 2008. This change will affect the navigation system road map data support process and the Warranty spare parts processes for the CIC.
For the US market, all vehicles will come preloaded from the factory with the latest navigation system road map database version that was available at the time of vehicle production.

Therefore, there will be no physical copy of the navigation system road map data media DVD set placed in these vehicles at the VDC.

Additionally, all replacement CIC parts come with a preloaded version of the current available navigation system road map database installed.

As a backup to this process, HU-DVD set copies of the navigation system road map database are shipped to all BMW centers through the Automatic Tool Shipment program with each release of a navigation system road map database. With this HU-DVD set, it is possible to download the navigation
system road map data from the CIC drive directly to the hard disc drive integrated in the CIC.

In case the HU-DVD set is lost or damaged, a back-up set can be ordered.

Please note that the HU-DVD is for workshop use only, and should not be left in customer vehicles.

Additionally, please take special care to archive the HU DVD sets, because as new versions become available, the ISIS will not have the storage capacity to store every version of the map media that will be released. Additionally, customers will only be allowed to restore the original version that was preloaded on their vehicles, or any subsequent versions they have purchased as map updates.

Please refer to the Aftersales Business Development & Marketing BMW Dealer Bulletin PB650109 (AttachmentA) for information on the CIC repair process and HU-DVD storage advice.
