SITUATION
After programming the head unit (HU-H2), activating the FSC (German word Freischaltcode) Enabling
Codes repeatedly fails.
CAUSE
The head unit (HU-H2) has been manipulated to activate unauthorized features, for example “Apple Car
Play”.
CORRECTION
New FSC Enabling codes must be generated by Technical Support.
PROCEDURE
With ISTA version 4.41.2x (available early May, 2023), a check for head unit manipulation occurs during the
of the calculation of the Measures Plan.
A pop-up will appear with the unauthorized FSC Enabling codes listed, as in the example below.

If the Measures Plan is carried out at this point, all FSC Enabling codes for the head unit will be
deactivated.
When FSC Enabling codes are lost for a vehicle due to manipulation, new codes will need to be generated
by Technical Service. Please create a TSARA case for assistance titled “HU-H2 – New FSC Enabling Codes
Required”.
After Technical Service reactivates the FSC Enabling codes, they can be imported to the vehicle through
ISTA.
NOTE: that only the AUTHORIZED codes for that vehicle will be reactivated. Any codes activated through
manipulation will not be reactivated, so the head unit will lose certain unauthorized functionalities.
NOTE: The loss of FSC Enabling Codes due to head unit manipulation is not covered under BMW warranty.
