Project Overview
MediaNav MAXmade gives the original Renault and Dacia MediaNav a new chapter. What began as an upgrade guide has grown into a complete system-software and application update: Evolution software on the existing hardware, a redesigned dark interface, and ongoing work on Bluetooth, media playback, navigation, and everyday reliability.
Core Highlights
- Complete USB update containing system software and applications
- Dark Home, Radio, Media, and Phone interfaces with familiar control positions
- Bluetooth audio and connection improvements
- USB playback, resume, playlist, and metadata improvements
- Navigation corruption fix included in the update

Behind the dashboard
From upgrade guide to a complete project
Understand the system
Reverse engineering and address-linked source exports document how the original applications, Bluetooth stack, updater, and platform work.
Improve the daily drive
Interface work and targeted application patches focus on the things you use every day: music, phone connections, touch controls, and navigation.
Build the whole update
Reproducible tooling assembles complete LGU packages, with manifests, checksums, and verification fixtures that keep earlier work included.
Built in the open
Follow the development
MediaNav MAXmade is actively developed for first-generation Renault and Dacia MediaNav hardware. Factory Evolution units and later hardware generations are outside this project's scope. GitHub has the current downloads, installation guidance, compatibility notes, and known issues.
