Fix: Problem with Renault R-Link 2 audio streaming via bluetooth?

Introduction

I got my new Renault a couple of weeks ago. A really nice car. It was equipped with the R-Link 2 that allows bluetooth connection with your iPhone. Great for making telephone calls and audio streaming (e.g. audio books, Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music etc.).

However, the R-link system has a glitch that blocks audio streaming under certain circumstances! I think that it’s only an issue for iPhone users. Here’s how to fix the issue.

 

The problem

The problem was that bluetooth audio streaming didn’t work? The telephone connection for calls worked perfectly and in the telephone settings my iPhone was connected for both telephone and audio use (see picture). Still, I wasn’t allowed to stream my music.

When entering the menu system Multimedia -> Media I could see that the bluetooth symbol displayed correctly that my phone was connected but it was kind of “greyed out” and no music was allowed the be streamed.

 

Solution

The problem, it seemed, was an error in the Renault R-link2 firmware that do not allow iPhone users to stream music if there is no songs in the phones library (Music). You just need one song in your library then it will work.

The fastest way is to just buy a song in iTunes and then download it to the phone. It takes no more than a minute and your good to go. If you previously have bought an album etc then you may download for free again.

If you want to “save” the money, you may also connect your phone to your home computer and download a song that you synced with iTunes at home.

This is how it should look after you’ve fixed the issue:

Kort på dansk

Problemer med at streame musik fra din iPhone i din Renault? Det er et problem med software i dit R-link 2 system, der gør at du skal have et musiknummer på din telefon før du kan benytte streaming fra andre tjenester f.eks. lydbøger, Spotify, TDC Music, Apple Music, Tidal etc.

Løsningen er at købe/downloade et nummer fra “Musik” app’en på din iPhone. Når først du har 1 nummer liggende på telefonen, så fungerer bluetooth afspilningen super.

Jeg har prøvet at trykke “hent” i appen “Musik” på min iPhone med 2 sange men jeg kan stadig ikke streame musik over rlink. Bed du hvad jeg kan gøre?

Mvh

Hej, tusind tak for tippet, det løste problemet med at kunne afspille musik 🙂 Nu vil den dog kun afspille den sang vi købte i ‘Musik’-appen. Hver gang vi afspiller noget på en anden musik-app, afbryder ‘Musik’-appen og afspiller den sang vi købte. Er der nogle der ved hvordan man løser dette problem?

Hej
Jeg har en Talisman med Rlink min udfordring er at jeg bliver frakoblet Bluetooth og 20 sec. tilkoblet igen, så hvis jeg taler i mobil bliver den frakoblet, så jeg må tale i selve mobiltlf. Min mobil er en iPhone x med iOS 13

Hej Lars
Min kæreste og jeg har lige købt en Renault Megan fra 2017 med R-link(1 måske?) Jeg har også problemet hvor jeg ikke kan få lyden ud i højtalerne. Jeg har en iPhone X, kæresten har samme telefon, men har ingen problemer med at afspille. Jeg bed mærke i dit opslag da jeg er typen som sletter alle de apps som jeg ikke bruger, heriblandt “musik” og “itunes store” osv osv. Derfor prøvede jeg at installere dem igen for så at downloade en sang i “musik” som du beskriver. Det virker bare stadig ikke. Noget du har hørt om ? Jeg kunne tænke mig til at systemet måske kræver en opdatering, men så er det sjovt at kæresten ingen problemer har. Jeg håber du kan hjælpe. Hilsen Christian 🙂

Hi,

I have a similar issue, but just a tad different. We got the car today and Iphone pairs fine and indeed calling is no issue.

Streaming via youtube did not give any sound, so I found indeed the comment about one song. Adding it indeed gives sound now but…

When car starts that one song starts to play automatically (Still no issue), but when you start to stream it streams for like 2 seconds, pauses it and continues to play that song on the phone again.

My Samsung S8+ has no issues and all works as designed upon connection.

Greetings,

Reza

Hej Har afprøvet dette på min Kadjar med R Link 2 desværre uden resultat alt er stadig “Gråt” og ingen musik
Dette er sket efter den sidste opdatering som jeg måtte vente 8 uger på hos Renault (ikke imponeret)
Har kontaktet kundeservice Renault Danmark som siger at de arbejder på sagen men ikke kan hjælpe
En skam de ikke har mere styr på hvad de laver
