Tom Tom Carminat (Renault) how to install onto blank SD Card
Thought A reformat and a fresh install would be a viable option (How wrong was I) having searched the internet for answers on how to reinstall tomtom onto my SD Card I'm drawing a blank everytime I open my TomTom home it reports that no device is connected yet I have my SD card plugged into the system.
any advice would be greatly appreciated. Have put the SD card into the car switched on left for 30 seconds switched off car and put back into my computer but still no joy.

Many thanks for the prompt reply
So, to recap and confirm....
1. You HAVE previously used TomTom Home to update THAT card.
2. It is not now recognised by TT Home.
3. When you looked at the card it said the card is full, but did not show any files on the card.
You have now formatted the card, then put it into the car and switched on for 30 seconds, then taken the card out and TT Home says no device connected.
So I'm stumped. Formatting and putting into the car should have initialised the card for use with Home. Do you have on your PC a backup copy of the card (did Home ever do a backup)?
Probably the EASIEST way is to buy a new card from the dealership because dealing with Renault direct is a nightmare. Although I don't expect they'll have it in stock so they'll have to order it and it WILL cost an absolute fortune.
The R-Link uses software called R-Link Toolbox and you need to have the car registered (by its VIN number) on the R-Link Store.

Haven spoken with them they also informed me that its possible the R Link software corrupted the card and that I should be able to have a replacement card sourced foc from Renault
When you do get a replacement card, you should consider making backup copies (I actually run mine from a backup card so that I keep the Renault one safe. I have often had a map update corrupt the card when I buy and download a map update. But there goes another story - I haven't been able to buy a recent map for many months!
I lost my Rlink SD card. Then I bought a new blank SD card. I want to use this one on Rlink. I need the files that the original one includes. Can anybody share the TOMTOM.000,001... files with me.
