Hi all!

I was thinking about updating my rlink system to 7.x, since I believe it solves some annoying bugs and it probably also runs smoother, but is there any risk to updating it? Obviously through a dealership!

Also, I have contacted several renault dealerships around me (I live in Sweden), and they don't seem to know that they can update to version 7. All they know is through the website... Any advice?

One last question: I noticed in a thread that versions for Kadjars end in 1, e.g 3.3.16.981. Is this true? Because when I found download links for version 3, they all ended in 0 (e.g 3.3.16.980).

Help is appreciated!

I was rather thinking of just updating the device by going to the dealers and let them do it. Buying a whole new device can cost a lot, whereas the update itself should be, what, 50-100€?

Not sure if everywhere, but here you are told that any damage that might occur is on you and they don't take blame for it. So ... keep that in mind or ask before starting the process.

I asked Renault about any possible risks, and they did say if they follow the procedure correctly, there should be no risks of bricks or any other damage? So, if they do it incorrectly, I do believe they are liable. It is like someone doing, say, an engine swap incorrectly. They should of course be liable because they did not do the job properly
