Renault has become the first car brand to provide the Waze application directly integrated into the vehicle’s multimedia system.

How to access the application?About Renault

Renault is the first car brand to offer Waze directly on the vehicle’s multimedia screen, without activating the smartphone. We are convinced that the large number of Waze users will appreciate this new feature when they drive the Nouvel Austral or the Mégane E-Tech electric. This is clearly in line with our strategy to offer our customers an intuitive, immersive and connected driving experience.

Jérôme SEROR, Director of Digital Customer Experience, Renault

Waze is a navigation application broadly used by motorists, with 20 million active users monthly in France.

The integration of Waze into the OpenR Link multimedia system, also housing Google integration, naturally provides drivers greater comfort and safety. 

Without a smartphone, the driver can access real-time traffic information, favorite routes, and saved destinations on the eye-level screen. 

Other vehicle features and music are still accessible, even if Waze is activated. According to the press release, there would be no need to worry about your USB cable or smartphone. 

Waze is in more places than just your phone. Waze is now available on the built-in display of Renault's new Austral and Megane E-Tech, which means millions of friendly drivers helping you get the best route.

This new experience with Waze is open in European countries for all Mégane E-Tech and Nouvel Austral electric consumers with the OpenR Link interface with integrated Google and the OpenR screen.

How to access the application?

Consumers could download and install the Waze app for OpenR Link from their My Renault mobile app or from Google Play via the OpenR Link interface in their vehicle. 

Then, customers could create a Waze account or use an existing account for safe driving, free of charge.

As more and more Waze users join us on in-car platforms and as this type of technology continues to evolve, it is important that we provide them with the best driving experiences. That’s why we are pleased and proud to announce our partnership with Renault. The integration of Waze’s real-time routes, navigation and alerts into the screen of Renault’s next generation vehicles offers a smoother and more streamlined driving experience. We look forward to bringing this all-new driving experience to as many users around the world as possible in 2023.

Aron DI CASTRO, Director of Marketing and Partnerships at Waze
