Upgrading from 9.1.3 to 1.0.13.1 is not an official over-the-air update. It requires a USB stick, a specific file structure, and the guts to sit in your driveway praying the battery doesn't die.
The Golden Rule: You must go via an intermediate version (usually 8.0.5 or 2.0.2 depending on your hardware revision). Jumping directly from 9.1.3 to 1.0.13.1 will brick your unit. It turns into a paperweight. A sad, beige paperweight with a Renault logo on it.

Extract the Firmware: Unzip the Medianav_EVO_1.0.13.1.zip file. Inside, you should see a folder named _MedNav_update or similar, plus several files with extensions .upd, .bin, and .tar.
Copy Files Correctly: This is where most people fail. Do not copy the .zip file. Do not copy the containing folder.
Safely Eject: Right-click the USB drive in Explorer and select "Eject" before pulling it out.
The navigation logic is faster at calculating routes. The zooming in/out on maps becomes fluid rather than jerky. Crucially, this version supports updated map structures, meaning you can utilize newer road data that is incompatible with the older v9.x systems.
