Upgrading from Medianav 9.1.3 to 1.0.13.1 is highly recommended for 95% of users. The improvements in stability, speed, and smartphone compatibility are undeniable. It transforms a frustrating, laggy system into a reliable daily driver.
Do not upgrade if:
Pro Tip: Before starting, take a photo of your current system information screen (version 9.1.3). If anything goes wrong, a dealer can use that photo to re-flash your unit, though they may charge a fee.
Notes/assumptions: you want to update an in-vehicle MediaNav (Renault/Geely-style) unit from firmware/software version 9.1.3 to 1.0.13.1. This guide assumes you have access to the correct update package for your exact head unit model and region, a FAT32-formatted USB stick, and basic tools (USB, screwdriver if needed). Proceed at your own risk — a failed update can brick the unit.
WARNING: Confirm the update package exactly matches your unit model and region. Do NOT power off the car or remove the USB during the update. If unsure, get the official dealer or a professional to perform the upgrade.

Upgrading a Renault/Dacia MediaNav 9.1.3 (Evolution 1) to 1.0.13.1 (Evolution 3) is not possible via software, as the two versions operate on entirely different hardware architectures and operating systems. Achieving the upgrade requires physically replacing the head unit with an Evolution 3 model, which can then support features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
