Where to get BMW activation code?
Sat nav looking for an activation code on my BMW 2016 4 series. Where do I find that code ?
Our answer:
Hi Aiden,
We asked BMW about this one and this is what we were told:
"It would be very unusual for someone with a 2016 model to need this code now. Recommendation is to bring it to their local Retailer who will be able to order/review initial codes, but if the head unit has been manipulated there may be something else wrong with it."
