Version 9.0.35.50x is a reliability patch that makes R-Link 2 tolerable for daily driving, especially if you use Bluetooth audio or built-in navigation. However, the underlying system remains dated (resistive screen, slow processor). If you’re technically inclined, consider aftermarket solutions (e.g., CarPlay retrofit boxes) for a modern experience.
Best for: Renault Clio IV, Megane IV, Captur, Kadjar, Dacia Duster II (pre-2022).
Not compatible with: R-Link 1, R-Link 2 with navigation hardware version lower than HW4.
Would you like a step-by-step update procedure or a list of known VIN ranges that received this OTA?
One of the most immediate changes users notice upon installing 9.0.35.50x is the improved boot sequence. The startup time of the navigation system is significantly reduced compared to earlier versions (such as 7.x or 8.x). The interface is more fluid, with reduced lag when switching between menus (Media, Navigation, Phone).
