So after much time searching online and doing bits by

myself, I've finally found out how to update your R Link.

(/forum/default.aspx? STEP 1:-

g=profile&u=46332&name=danny91) Go to gb.rlinkstore.com

STEP 2:-
Posts: 16 If you haven't yet registered for an account then do this
by selecting register (obviously lol).
You will need to enter your usual bits of info, plus your
car VIN (for those who don't know, this can be found on
your logbook or in the bottom right corner of your
windscreen), and your R Link serial number. (I found
this by going into the R Link in car, go to settings, then
onto status and version information. Then clicking on
TomTom version info).

1/21/2019 A step byAnd youonalso
step guide have
how to updateto choose
your a name
R Link device. for your car lol.

Register and then validate your email address.

STEP 3:-
When you log in to the R Link store on your PC, you
should be greeted with a message saying something
along the lines of "your car name" updates available.

STEP 4:-
Click on update. A new page should appear saying that
you need to download the R Link Toolbox.
Download it.

STEP 5:-
Take the memory card out of your car (don't just pull it
out though. Go into settings and go to remove SD
card).
Insert into your PC.
The R Link toolbox window should pop up and
eventually state that it is installing updates.
DONT REMOVE THE CARD UNTIL EVERYTHING HAS
FINISHED INSTALLING! IT MAY ALSO MAKE A
BACKUP COPY OF YOUR SD CARD! (MINE DID)

STEP 6:-
When installation has finished remove card and insert
back into your car.
IMPORTANT
TURN YOUR ENGINE ON SO THE R LINK DOESN'T
SWITCH ITSELF OFF DURING THE UPDATE!!
Let it do its thing and then you should be all up to date!

I was told very firmly to have the engine running during the
update or go for a drive! [20 to 30 minutes for one of them or
a map]
As if the ignition turns off, as it will, during the update it will

The R Link helpline does give out/send very precise detailed
guides/instructions. They have been brilliant in the past.

the SD card and let it update. The R Link didn't turn
itself off like it normally does if you have the radio on
without the ignition on.
It seems daft that you have to ring a bloody helpline
though to find out how to update. There should be clear
instructions somewhere online. But there isn't.

Is there any way to edit my post, as I probably should

put it in there as a precaution?
Cheers.

the car.
When you logged into the r link store on your laptop,
did it say that updates were available?

Hi Danny.
Yes it did say updates available.
So I went and got the SD card from the car ejecting it
properly.

Inserted it. Up came the R Link Toolbox and it said busy

After I ejected properly, as it was so quick I re inserted it and

after R Link toolbox came up it said busy then it was up to

You are correct a previous update was just as quick then

previous to that 20 minutes laptop and 20 minutes car!

I think something odd has occured.

I will try again and if anything different I will post

no probs Andy. I've been given some valuable advice

on these forums so it's good to know I'm able to give
something back.

This is Gold! Thanks a million Danny. What are the
benefits of updating rlink? Can I not update the map only
without doing this?

Yes, not a problem.
You are only downloading a file and storing it on the SD
card.
