Without using a smartphone, the driver has access to real-time traffic information, favourite routes and saved destinations on the eye-level screen. Other vehicle features and music remain accessible, even if Waze is activated. No need to worry about your smartphone or USB cable!
This new experience with Waze is available in European countries for all Austral and Mégane E-Tech electric customers equipped with the OpenR screen and the OpenR Link interface with integrated Google.
The Waze app for OpenR Link can be downloaded and installed from either Google Play or the My Renault mobile app. Customers can use an existing account or create a new one to take advantage of all the features offered by the app, free of charge.
"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 All-new 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." Jérôme SEROR, Director of Digital Customer Experience, Renault.
Waze is a community-based navigation application that provides real-time, up-to-date information about road conditions and traffic to help users get from point A to point B faster. It also offers features such as voice guidance, suggested detours or alternative routes, automatic rerouting based on live traffic data, and the ability to share road alerts with other drivers.
The Waze app has numerous benefits, including reducing travel time and fuel consumption, improving traffic flow, and providing information on nearby points of interest. With the integration of Waze into Renault vehicles, drivers are now able to enjoy the convenience of using Waze without having to rely on their smartphones. This is sure to provide a more enjoyable and stress-free driving experience.
