The only things lost, as far as I can see (not really used R-Link properly - been using the smartphone) is Air con display, battery display, and some graphics. All when I am on the South Circular in traffic in the cold rain. I'll be tuning into Live Jazz in New Orleans with three taps on the screen, talk radio from France, Test Match Special (but let's not talk about the Cricket.ahem). So my big win is streaming audio from my home server - ALL my music, my playlists, and my radio stations from UK, France and USA. I can navigate to where I need to go easily (three taps?), find a charge point and/or pay for parking - all from a big screen on the console - and while I'm traveling, listen to what I want including any podcast, radio, DAB station or my music. R-Link, even when it was new did not do all of these things (and none well then), and as it's 8 years, old does none of these things anymore.
Proper Navigation (Waze - no map updates needed and integrated with real-time traffic), DAB+, podcasts, PlugShare (Charge Points - updated), Ringo (parking payment ), as well as access to weather, and video (um err). All to be replaced in other ways by new, up to date software, a much bigger screen, and CarPlay - giving access to the apps I need. Click to expand.I expect to loose all R-Link functionality (as it won't be there anymore ).
