Version 2023.06.00 "Internal Beta" Software Update Notes

[RivianTrackr]

Version 2023.06.00

New Proximity Locking and Unlocking via Key Fob
Proximity locking and unlocking is now available via your key fob. To turn on his feature, go to Settings > Vehicle > Access. You can also view the battery level of the key fob on the center display.

We’ve also improved proximity locking experience for both phones and key fob: locking is more consistent, and we’ve decreased the number of unintended locking occurrences.

Navigation Improvements
We’ve introduced the following new features in navigation:

• Place search is now powered by Google Maps™
• You can now easily switch between charger status pins on the map to preview information. Choose a charger. Then choose Start to begin a new route to that charger.
• We’ve enhanced detection of your vehicle’s arrival at its destination. The Navigation app now ends your trip when you park your vehicle near the destination.

Enhanced Front Camera View
We’ve improved the front camera view on the center display:

• Increased the horizontal and vertical fields of view for the front camera to provide a better perspective of the bumper relative to any obstacles.
• Improved the image quality of the front camera and increased the number of usable pixels by 50%.

Additional Improvements

• Driver+ Improvements
  • Increased the Highway Assist hands-off warning time period from 10 to 20 seconds for your convenience.
  • Your vehicle now notifies you that rear Park Assist warnings aren’t available while the Rear accessory setting is enabled.
  • Reduce the time window from 2 seconds to 1 second to engage Highway Assist when you push the drive stalk twice. This enhances usability when you initiate Adaptive Cruise Control with the first push of the drive stalk, accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed, and then push the drive stalk again to set the higher speed.
• You vehicle now retains calibration for the windows, seats, and steering wheel after loss of 12 V battery power.
• Fixed a rare issue that briefly triggered limited performance mode when you started driving in cold ambient temperatures.
• Fixed a rare issue when quickly turning defrost on or off changed the set temperature to the maximum.
• Media Improvements
  • In Spotify, added a progress bar for podcast episodes or audiobooks.
  • In Spotify and TIDAL, added a notification to confirm when a song is added to a queue.
  • Fixed an issue where the FM radio channel frequency wasn’t displayed properly.
  • Choosing the logo of a media sources now goes to the Home tab of that app.
  • Fixed a rare issue when the Bluetooth media art wasn’t displayed properly if you quickly switched between media sources.
• Bluetooth audio is now transferred from your phone to the vehicle only when you open either of the front doors.
• Fixed a rare issue when the paired phone didn’t appear in the Bluetooth panel.
• Fixed a rare issue with loss of cellular connectivity in Canada after the vehicle woke from sleeping.
• Fixed a rare issue with Gear Guard videos not being properly saved to USB external storage drives.

The limited performance message when it’s cold will be a welcome fix. I get that a lot. No fix for the “fixed” tow mode problems though.

Nice updates, but I’m really waiting for more meaningful updates that improve the driver+ performance. Fewer drop outs, more available roads and better lane centering.

Interesting use of the word "rare". This happens to me literally every time.

Nice batch of improvements in this update. No huge features, but polishing and bug squashing is always appreciated IMHO

passive/proximity keyfob will be appreciated
google maps for nav is a plus
looks like a solid update

Pretty sure the "fix" is called spring.

Bluetooth transfer only when open doors, hopefully means no more me getting on a call and later figuring out the car decided to grab it, 50' away.

Looks like yet another OTA that won't fix Alexa with Tidal. Ugh.

I hope with the front camera view improvement, it will be easier to see front bumper vertical plane better, but can only do so much with the camera mounted back a bit.

It's "rare" if you live in southern California.

I’m guessing this may be a precursor to the dash cam feature.

How frequently are you quickly turn defrost on and off again?

I thought that was a feature … and quite handy living in a blizzard for the last week or so … : )

I hope the dashcam uses the camera in the windshield (currently not exposed via Gear Guard)
