I dont the exact specifics with the Renaul Media Nav, but when you do a firmware update ( on anything) that is a backward step to what is installed, you will be asked to confirm this is what you want to do before it will install it, but it should install it if that is what the user wants, its whether you can get you hands on a genuine version of the 8.0.5 firmware, the last you want is a dodgy copy which bricks your system.

 

In MN1 & MN2 there is possibility to downgrade without any problem using of course orginal firmwares.
I done this more then 50 times playing with these units.
Official is possible only to upgrade firmware.
Regarding sound is not true.
I upgtade all MN2 units to 9.1.3 as soon arrives to me and there no one have problems with sound in speakers.
Perhaps you play in settings.

Ive played with all the audio settings and equalisers, there is definately a volume block in the software of the upgrade🙈🙈

 

See if @NeeK pops on, he will be able to help and tell you about software updates and downgrades

 

Make me pictures with the settings where you play. Let's begin like this.

Hi,
Did you get anywhere with this? I updated 3 or 4 months ago & immediately noticed that the volume wasn't nearly as loud as it was before.I then restored to factory settings but the volume issue remains!

If anyone has a fix to this it would be much appreciated!

 

I play with a lot of units MN1 & MN2 and upgrade it almost all to last version. Never I notice a change in sound, moreover to diminuate it. I will observe imediately.

 

I upgraded mine to 9.1.3, it reduces the volume on tracks that have high bass. Looking for 8.0.5

 

It's possible to downgrade to 8.0.5, but perhaps you play with other parameters, because the upgrade at 9.1.3 bring better the system.

 

The system is better and the sound quality is better. But i want more control over equalizer than the computer doing it for me. I'll looked everyone with no luck for the 8.0.5 or 7 version

 

You didn't look where need or you didn't ask right person.
Here down you have:

MN2 Upgrade to fake 5.0.0 this is first step in dowgrade.

Dear friend!
This post is from 2020 so I have no idea if you will see this message.
But I would like to thank you immensely for your support.
I'm from Brazil, and here I tried to help even at Renault stores, I sent an email to the company... But nobody was able to help me.
I ended up finding this solution on a French forum, however, despite asking for the file, it was not granted.
And suddenly, I found this site through google and my salvation to recover my MN came up.
Thank you very much! Thank you very much! 😘

 

Thank you very much Neek🥳. I have downgraded to 7.0.5 and the system doesn't interfere with my volume anymore.

 

Hi
Just out of curiosity, was it a genuine Renault update that you installed or what is a free one from the Internet? I have same issue, volume nowhere near loud enough!

Thanks

 

It was a genuine renault update that I got free from this link that was messing with my volume (9.1.3).

Ah OK, sounds like we may have done the same thing.

I might pay for the upgrade from Renault (£70) & hope that works.

Cheers

 

9.1.3 the bass was for sure increased. But I agree, sound quality isn't on par with 8.0.5. @NeeK, it's down to sound preference. Everyone's hearing is different. Your not wrong and neither is poster.

I know for sure. If I connect my Samsung up while running 9.1.3. Samsung Dolby just over boosts the bass frequency. It makes the sound distorted.

However, while running 8.0.5. The frequency is lower and thus decreasing distortion.

On the flip side - yes, 9.1.3 runs better than 8.0.3. In reality, Renault's medianavs are sub-par at best. MediaNav will never stack up against the likes of Sony or Pioneer.

 

Hi, I just updated from 5.2.8 to 9.1.3 and I noticed that the sound is lifeless ever since.
To which version do I need to downgrade in order to get the good sound quality?
8.0.5 or 7.0.5?

8.0.5 Will restore your sound quality to its former quality

 

Quality changes from 8.0.5 Upwards. It is the same from 8.0.5 downwards. The difference I noticed between 7.0.5 and 8.0.5 was that it would reset my equalizer settings sometimes on 7.0.5, but it doesn't on 8.0.5

 

Thanks a lot for all these infos.

Last thing before I downgrade, I saw that when downgrading with fake 5.0.0 and upgrading to 8.0.5, two problems occurs.
First is the ITaskMng windows that pops up when the Media Nav is booting:

Second is a pop up telling that its impossible to use the navigation because of the map licence:

Can you confirm that the files provided by @NeeK in page 1 of this thread do not cause these problems?

 

clio974 alias RGMaster3 if I don't mistake.
The problems occur in your unit because of additional software what you had installed. In original units these doesn't exist.
And the problem of not opening navigation is because license is not recognizing the map files added in various ways, not official, or even license wrong. That is normal when you install a new firmware to put original files in the right places.

 

I just downgraded with @NeeK files from 9.1.3. to 8.0.5. and everything went fine.
Now I have the same quality as before.
The 9.1.3. is definitely not a good update if you care about sound quality because it applies a "lifeless" filter to the audio.

Thanks to @NeeK and @mavhungu for the help provided.

 

Hi guys, I recently moved from a 2017 trafic to a 2021 trafic and the medianav system turns the volume down past volume 19.. what the hell is going on? My old van used to have a banging sounds system and the new one looks like the same hardware but maybe software not allowing high levels of music? Can I do the downgrade with out bricking my unit and will the reversing camera still work?

 

You need to find your software version. If you have the latest 9.1.3, you should downgrade to 8.0.5 which is the last version to have the natural and loud sound settings.
But I'm reading that you got the 2021 Traffic and I don't think it's the same old Media Nav like us. If it is, just downgrade. Sorry if the English is not perfect, in French.

 

Hello,
I own a Dacia Duster (2016 model) with MediaNav Evolution, firmware version 5.2.8,
and I have some questions:
1)Should I upgrade to version 8.0.5? because I read 9.1.3 has issues with the sound quality.
2)What are the differences between 5.2.8 and 8.0.5?
3)Does 8.0.5 make the interface a bit faster and more responsive?
4)Is there a version that supports video playback? AVI or MP4?
5)I also found out about Menaco, an alternative to MediaNav Evolution. Has anyone tried this? Is it as good as it claims to be?
Thank you all in advance!

 

clio974 alias RGMaster3, wenn ich mich nicht irre.
Die Probleme treten in Ihrem Gerät aufgrund zusätzlicher Software auf, die Sie installiert haben. In Originaleinheiten gibt es diese nicht.
Und das Problem, dass die Navigation nicht geöffnet wird, liegt darin, dass die Lizenz die auf verschiedene Weise hinzugefügten Kartendateien nicht erkennt, nicht offiziell ist oder sogar die Lizenz falsch ist. Das ist normal, wenn Sie eine neue Firmware installieren, um die Originaldateien an den richtigen Stellen abzulegen.

Hallo Neek, ich habe auch dieses Problem, dass ich Navi nach Downgrade auf 8.0.5 nicht anwählen kann.
Hatte vorher die 9.1.3 Unleashed gedrückt und wollte zum Original zurück, da ich das Auto verkaufen will.

Kannst du mir helfen?

Wär super.

Vielen Dank im Vorraus.

Is there a way to get pure audio signal for subwoofer? I've got Speaker line -> RCA module, and amp + sub, but it seems that there is a cut-off for lower hz signal so the sub won't go very low. Or is only possibility to get an android audio multimedia unit?
