Stuj Posted 17, November 2022 Report Share Posted 17, November 2022 (edited) Hi All, I've been a long time French car owner (Peugeot) but please don't hold that against me. I've been the proud owner of a 2016 Megane GT now for over 4 years and I must say I love it. The only thing I’m not loving is the infotainment system. I'm on the Rlink 2.2 (19.300) branch and have the tesla style screen with the Bose sound system. The Bluetooth drops out quite a bit and I'm longing for Apple carplay. Does anyone here know how I could go about upgrading the system for me to get this. Software is out I've heard, is there either an official Renault head unit that I could upgrade to, or os there an after market unit I could buy ? Thanks in Advance.

Matt205 Posted 17, November 2022 Report Share Posted 17, November 2022 Would be doable via a software update most likely, getting it done if you're not a diy, semi tech savvy, might be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuj Posted 19, November 2022 Author Report Share Posted 19, November 2022 Thanks Matt, Yes I am a techie so have upgraded the software as far as I can by not going to a dealer. I’ve read if you take the car to a dealer it can be upgraded to v7 but that only lets you enable Android Auto via a secret developer menu, but not Apply CarPlay, due to some piece of required hardware not present in the 2016 Megane. If only I bought a 2017 model then all would have been good. That’s why I was asking about possible headunit options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caduceus Posted 19, November 2022 Report Share Posted 19, November 2022 My Daughter has a 2014 Megane and has been able to have Apple CarPlay and a reversing camera integrated into her OEM head-unit using DS-T Smartlink system. It was not a DIY job for us - we went through a car audio installer in Brisbane. If you send me a DM with your email address, I can forward you the whole email thread between us. It's several pages and will probably help you - the dude really knew his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
