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.×

My newly replaced Rlink with V7 is the same, when iPhone is paired, the voice control button activates iPhone Siri. When iphone's BT off, the control button returns to Rlink robot. Hence I am guessing V3.3's new functions are identical to V7. I wonder if this factory manufactured Rlink V7 head unit has the new USB port to support carplay? or does it require to change the physical USB hub under Rlink head unit?

Hi Michael, the problem with mine is that even though it triggers the prompt to speak into it with bluetooth on, I was not able to invoke a response from Siri. Have you not tried car play on your head unit yet?

BTW: Why was your rlink headunit replaced? My Kadjar (Singaporean, june 16, 2.2 version) has this issue with the fader sound resetting by itself after the car is turned off. For example, I can set the fader to full rear, but after I start the car the sound will be faded to the center (all 4 speakers) again. When I go the fader settings after restarting the car, the fader is a full rear based on graphic but the sound is in the center. Only when I adjust the fader do the sound correspond to the setting. Was this the same issue you faced? Or any idea if anyone else have the same issue?

Hi HL, big congrats on your successful update and I believe you are the first to have 3.3 in Singapore! Yes with current V7, I can use Siri on Rlink however this is not carplay, no mirror screen from my iPhone, just usual siri voice commands with default siri graphic on Rlink screen which I find it useless and pretty much the same functions as Rlink robot to play musics, making calls..etc

Regarding Rlink replacement, I had numerous issues after my first service from Wearns such as TA was gone, paired iPhone became silent, touch screen sensitivity and delays, Rlink auto resetting by itself, reverse cam image distortion, rear speakers spoiled with broken sounds..etc I have been sending my car back to Wearns for diagnosing issues 6 times in 6 months after they concluded it is deem for replacement under warranty. I am not sure about the sound fader function as it has always stayed as center as default. I will try to adjust to front or rear these few nights.

Regards,

Downgrading is basically made the same way as upgrading. The guys in Germany as usual are thinking one step forward and did not want to upgrade until there's a solution for downgrading, just in case. The files can be found on their site. I can share them here if needed, but I bet it would not be necessary  :) Version 3 is the same in hardware as Version 7. Only the software is slightly different, but I bet no one could name the differences.
 In Singapore should be sold cars manufactured in China, as for Europe is responsible the Spanish factory, so there might be minor differences in cars.
