Hi all
I have just acquired a 2016 Kadjar and found this forum
I would like Android Auto on my car and so the firmware upgrade in the Unsanctioned Downloads section of this site is definitely of interest.
I would also be interested in updating the maps and the homebrew maps in the "Latest Maps" thread also look very interesting. However, the patches to allow installation seem to be for Rlink2 version 3.3.16.960 or 980
The unofficial software update is 3.3.16.961
Is it possible to do both? Has anyone successfully done this?
Whilst I am interested in these upgrades I am not terribly interested in bricking my new car!
Cheers all
Rob

Ignore the last digit. For Kadjars it ends at 1. There are patches both for 98* and for 96*. Use the one corresponding to yours. You should have 981 as it is the last official update. If not, check the easyconnect site and apply it. Then use the patch for 981.

I have the unofficial 3.3.16.961 firmware and the modified Here 2019Q2 maps also and all is working perfectly so is it worth updating to 3.3.16.981 firmware and would I have to re-install my maps? Advice appreciated, I too like to be latest and greatest but not if it will cause any problems.

The 981 updates some minor bugs in the RLink. What I've noticed is the album art info is already displayed properly for each song, not like before. Everything else is basically the same and moving to 981 causes no problems at all.

Thanks for that AOne I have had all the files for sometime now but thought I remember there being an issue with upgrading so I held back. I will do the upgrade today and see how we get on.
