IOS 11 upgrade and Renault R-Link

After upgrading my iPhone SE to IOS 11 the bluetooth connection with my Renault R-Link does not work anymore. Connection the phone manually sometimes helps. But it used to connect automatically.

Take it to your local Renault dealer and they can update the software to the latest version. Having taken my car yesterday I can confirm that bluetooth connections are now working with iOS11 backlink gov. Getting the software updated also solved the long-standing issue with UK speed cameras displaying the km/h value as mp/h. It only took two years!

Dear anypats, please don't make defance for Apple... Everything was working with IOS 10.3.3 and Apple spoiled it with last update of the IOS. If someone damage something, he has to repair or find a solution. It is not my matter if any android has a problem... I had no problem and now I have a problem, because of Apple.... How can I scream more ?????

Apple has to understand us....

Apple should really review IOS 11 because it's everything but an enhancement. If I would be the only one experiencing problems I would say OK but unfortunately that's not the case. Based on my current experiences I wouldn't buy a new iPhone again, it is currently stopping me from doing my work. Phone calls are constantly dropped, customers try to call but no connection and when switching from wifi to Data there is no connection anymore.

Can we please go back to IOS 10 and please notify other customers not to upgrade to 11 because it is everything but an upgrade.

Most people running iOS 11 are having none of those issues.


In particular, using my iPhone as a phone has worked perfectly since release on first an iPhone 7 Plus and now an iPhone 8 Plus, and I have never had any issues moving from Wi-Fi to cellular data and back.


Perhaps your cellular service provider is having issues; regardless if these are all readily reproducible, I'd suggest taking your phone in to an Apple Store so they can run diagnostics to make sure you don't have hardware issues.

Guys we have to stop this conversation and close the subject. I have received an official call from Renault France based on my complain about the Bluetooth connection with my ios11 device.

The problem is in RLink NOT in the iOS. You have to go to your Renault dealer and ask to upgrade your RLink System. I did it and now there is NO PROBLEM.

You can check several posts above I have posted the new version.

Thank you.
