  • the USB drive is not provided with the system.

To update the maps from your computer, go to https://renault-connect.renault.com then connect to your "My Renault" account.

The vehicle must be identified before the maps can be updated. The vehicle is identified using:

  • the VIN (vehicle identification number);
  • a virtual image of the vehicle using a USB flash drive.

Updates by the vehicle VIN

From your computer, log in to your "My Renault " account and download the Map Toolbox software, then enter the VIN of the vehicle to be updated.

  • "Complete update";
  • "Update available by country".

Note: only countries where an update is available for the selected vehicle are suggested in the list of "Updates available by country".

tip

User responsibility during updating. It is very important to follow the instructions carefully during updating. Failure to follow these instructions (removing the USB flash drive, etc.) may corrupt and cause irreversible damage to the data.

Select the updates you want to install on the multimedia system, then download the updates to the USB flash drive.

Once the data is downloaded to the USB flash drive, you can remove the USB flash drive from your computer, ejecting it before removing it, then go to your vehicle.

From your vehicle, insert the USB flash drive into your vehicle's USB port. The multimedia system detects new apps and offers to install them. Follow the instructions shown on the multimedia system screen.

This updating procedure must be carried out while the engine is running in the case of combustion vehicles and with the engine on in the case of hybrid and electric vehicles.

Note: once the USB flash drive has been inserted into your vehicle's USB port, do not carry out any operation on the multimedia system, its controls or on any vehicle devices (telephone, audio, navigation, etc.) to avoid interrupting the updating process.

When the update procedure is complete, you can remove the USB flash drive from your vehicle.

tip

From your vehicle, insert a USB drive which is FAT32 formatted and has a minimum capacity of 32 GB and a maximum capacity of 64 GB into your vehicle's USB port, then wait for 10 seconds (ensure that no other USB drive is connected).

The multimedia system then saves a virtual image of your vehicle to the USB drive, which will enable the Alliance CONNECT Toolbox software to identify the updates available for your navigation system.

After the virtual image has been taken, remove the USB flash drive from the USB flash drive of your vehicle, then go to your computer.

tip

Any new USB flash drive inserted is analysed and its image is stored in the multimedia system. Depending on the USB flash drive's capacity, the multimedia screen can be put on standby. Wait a few seconds. Only use USB flash drives that conform to the national requirements in force.

From your computer, download the Alliance CONNECT Toolbox software then insert the USB drive containing the virtual image of your vehicle.
