  1. When will Rivian get CarPlay? Need better Nav and hands free text

    That’s what I have set up and works without a hitch. I still use the native nav when searching for Tesla Supercharger but haven’t had any issues. Able to use Siri to text. You can read my setup in the signature and there are plenty of threads on this.
  2. New R1T, But Family is Too Tall/Large... R1S Any Better?

    One way to make more room (though I’m only 6’1) is to angle the seat cushion all the way back and straighten the seat back a bit more, and push the steering wheel as forward as possible. That helps when my 5’10 son sits behind me.
  3. 2024.35.0 Update Installing (Includes Live Camera View - Gear Guard Live)

    Ha ha, did the plastic tiles instead of epoxy paint when we moved in 4 years ago. Best decision ever, looks finished, does not fade and will probably last another 15 years.
  4. 2024.35.0 Update Installing (Includes Live Camera View - Gear Guard Live)

    Installed and Live view is pretty cool. 4 angles front, back, left and right. It’s at home in the garage and it’s set to be off but it can be woken up remotely.
  5. Unsuccessful using a2z adapter at Tesla supercharging station

    Make sure it shows as “Adapter needed” compatible charger of 250kW. The icon is lit up in the Rivian App and not grayed out. I had gotten the same issue/error because I went to a station that was not 250kW which won’t work.
  6. R2 Charge Port Location is Moving to Driver's Side Rear (on Production Model)! - Confirms Rivian VP

    Agreed that it's great for Supercharger compatibility. The few times I've used it, I always have to use the two end units so I don't block any Teslas. Not an issue when the chargers are mostly empty but will increasingly become an issue when there are more cars that need charging. However, we...
  7. My Tesla will remain my road trip car...sns

    I got the A2Z and drove from NJ to VA and back. Seemless charge at superchargers and can’t beat the space in the trunk/frunk/3rd row compared with a 4 door sedan. No brainer for me. We loved our trip and will continue to do so. Other than the occasional cruise control, I prefer to drive myself...
  8. My EV Sportline CarPlay Display Hidden Wires Install

    It should be. The CarPlay unit requires a decent amount of juice so the FuseTap definitely provides a decent amount compared with the other USB-C outlets in the car.
  9. R1S cameo on Ben Affleck and JLo rumors…

    Ben Affleck is seen driving R1S with Mom…. Good exposure for R1S ?
  10. Rear Trunk 12V Power

    Ok, when the car is awake ? “12V Power is always on when the vehicle is awake” as quoted from the manual
  11. Rear Trunk 12V Power

    I found in the manual that all 12V are activated by ignition. I assume that’s correct? So I may have found my answer. I think it’s correct that the 110V requires turning on from settings.
  12. Rear Trunk 12V Power

    Does anyone know if the rear 12V power outlet for the R1S is triggered by the ignition or is it always on or does it need to be turned on?
  13. Horn Upgrade (Passenger Side) by RealWheelsEV -- install instructions, before & after video sound clips

    Wow, I didn’t even know there are dual horn ones. Really interesting given I believe all the new ones have passenger side. I thought the main install video was quite good already and I just needed to add the passenger supplemental one. I suppose I could have done a full install video but would...
  14. Horn Upgrade (Passenger Side) by RealWheelsEV -- install instructions, before & after video sound clips

    It’s loud for sure! My 9 year old gets embarrassed when I use it. Could be intimidating if someone is not expecting it ?
