The entertainment chip in the R2 will not change when the RAP1 and LiDAR comes - so not a new generation overall. Only impact is autonomy - hence why people who are not so bothered by that can by the R2 now with certainty.
That isn’t true. The new RAP processor takes over the infotainment. At least the customer experience for it.

From what I read they will push the app update because it’s tied to your profile. So if you have multiple rivians it will adjust to your settings when you get in like teslas do.

Turn off Rivian Assistant and go back to Alexa, the Amazon Music app supposedly pops back up.

I just switched back to Alexa, until they add a amazon music app, I'll just keep the rivian assistant disabled.

Agreed. I tried toggling back and forth, but every time one turns off the Rivian Assistant, when one turns it back on, it requires going through the whole string of permissions again.

The lack of Amazon music is a HUGE miss by Rivian, especially considering that it was practically native to every R1 since day-dot.

Another huge miss: the calendar integration is so limited it’s basically worthless. It supports one account, and it better be a Google account.

I have like 5 Google accounts (for different businesses I’m involved with) plus my personal family calendars in Apple iCloud, including a bunch of iCal subscriptions for kids sports teams and stuff in iCloud. I’m not going to try to funnel all that through a single Google account just to make it work on Rivian Assistant. Tesla’s implementation has worked with multiple calendars for YEARS and was very convenient, always picking up the next destination from all my various calendars.

Good information here if you are still waiting on your update! At least you know all connect plus subscribers will get it by tomorrow.

It's good info but I'm not sure where Jose got the actual info. If Rivian is using the Android DPC (Device Policy Controller) or have EMM setup, it will functionally be the same as updating Android other devices.

Rivian Roamer isn't Jose, I believe (unless there's some super secret double-life thing going on....). Jose runs RivianTrackr.

That being said, both sites have connections with Rivian for confirming much of their info.
