That’s something to emphasise: if your current software isn’t available, there’s no way back—at least not on your own.Yep, that's what motivated me to finding the Aussie version R05 so I could go back![]()
I’m not familiar with the Australian/New Zealand warranty policies, but showing up at a dealer with an unsupported software version might raise eyebrows.
For those still willing to upgrade to R38/R59 on Australasian models, be aware of the following:
European SE models don’t have reverse cameras, so R38 may not support them.
It is possible to install Australian maps on R59, but when I tried this, I encountered a localisation error with the maps. I’m not sure if this was due to my car being EU-spec or linked to the R59 release itself.
There may be glitches related to radio band differences. Here in Europe, FM range is 87.5 to 107.9, DAB frequencies may be different, and AM has fallen into disuse, so R38/R59 don’t even provide access to it.
