I wish.

A lot of these upgrades are carrots on a stick. There has to be reasons to upgrade.

Unfortunately it's physically impossible. They changed the entire electrical architecture, removed hundreds of miles of wiring and relocated a few of the cameras on the body

You mean 1.6 miles

I'm pretty sure I was like a million, actually

There must be a way. Power communication it’s there. Just change the actual camera pixels.

I agree. Need to figure out the camera model, find a replacement model and try it out. If I had time, I may try; but time seems to only move forward. ?

Ohh there is. But finding a camera that fits in the hole the current ones live In is the easy part.

Because then you'll have to figure out how to hack into the car's operating to system to gain root access and replace the OS with a custom one that you wrote that won't crash when it receives the wrong number of pixels from that new camera.

And while you are at it you might as well whip up some carplay software too.

Yes but you would also have to upgrade from a Gen 1 vehicle to a Gen 2 vehicle. ?

 

[Donald Stanfield]

Yes, there is a way to do this. You can upgrade the cameras and everything else Rivian upgraded on Gen 2 all at the same time. Just trade your Gen 1 in for a Gen 2. You're welcome.

Physically impossible, I researched the parts database and service manual. They're entirely different plugs and wiring, definitely not able to splice and cross.
