TuneIn Has New Partnership With Nissan

Rich Stern says integration via Google built-in will "eliminate friction" for drivers

TuneIn’s radio stations and podcasts will now be available in some Nissan vehicles in the United States.

“Drivers will be able to access TuneIn through Nissan and Infiniti vehicles equipped with Google built-in,” it announced.

It quoted CEO Rich Stern: “Drivers want access to the audio they love the moment they start the car. By bringing the full TuneIn experience directly into Nissan’s infotainment system, we’re eliminating friction and giving listeners a safer, faster way to enjoy live sports, trusted news, music and podcasts on every drive.”

The company said listening features include live sports play by play; curated music and podcasts; access to TuneIn using voice commands via TuneIn’s App Driver Distraction Management System; and new left-side driver controls that the company says make it easier to play, pause or change audio.

TuneIn has partnerships with 14 automotive brands. In late 2025 it was acquired by Stingray, a connected streaming media company based in Canada, for up to $175 million (US) in cash.
