Hi Duracel, I didn't contact the Renault Connections Team, instead I used the Russian Website I found on these pages (only used it once, can't find the link). All one does is enter the ViN number and it shows you all the info you want (in English). My car was manufactured in March 2017.


That would certainly put it in the Cross Over Point as I seem to remember pre March 17 was not possible to update.

That's what I thought too, although there are members on here who have upgraded to version 3 whose cars were quite a bit older. If you haven't already done it, take the plunge.

As I know member Buder has one o the first Kadjars (2015 or 2016).
And as far as I understand upgrade to 3.3 is possible on all old devices, but only on certain devices in Scenic 4/Megane 4 CarPlay also works because hardware is newer than in old version. So you just need to enable it. AA works on all platforms.
And as I research, CarPlay needs advanced USB which first generations of R-Link2 devices does not have it. And because of that (except a SW tweak which will emulate right USB) CarPlay will not work.
I will soon upgrade mine R-Link2  (Kadjar is January 2016) and can report.

Results are positive  :)
What goes wrong after the update is the reverse camera (the guide lines are somehow missaligned) and the voice control button (when pressed, activates Google assistant, instead of RLINK robot stuff).
  All the live services and updates work and you can even have the option to downgrade to version 2.×
