    Hi @cliffbowl

    Welcome to the community! The map has been activated for your device. Please remove the existing map first and download a fresh version offered as a download in TomTm HOME.

    This map should get your device back to working condition, however, the version is really old and might be missing several road changes over the years.

    If you wish to update the maps then you need to have an active subscription for map update services, you can order it on our webshop

    For the best navigation experience, TomTom advises driving with the latest maps....

    Thanks, Vikram

    Hi @cliffbowl

    You need to use your PC with the Tomtom Home software running.

    Hi @cliffbowl

    @VikramK says he has activated a map for you so I would expect that it is there for you to load on the Card.

    Hello a Renault Grand scenic. from 2016. It is the R-Link 2 GPS which is installed on your vehicle. You have to buy a new SD card from a Renault dealership.

    The car is not the new 2016 mk4 shape.
    It is the late mk3 2015-2016
    Still no joy with maps :(

    Hi @cliffbowl
    I have asked my team to refresh your TomTom account in our backend systems.
    Could you check for updates again, please?

    Regards, Vikram
