2023, R1S Gen 1 LE - Single Batt+Capacitor OHMMU LiFEPO4 Firmware 2025.46.0 RiDE "Low Voltage Battery Service" did *NOT* clear the "12V Service" error Ohmmu's instructions suggested that you just needed to put it in drive and roll forward a bit, then back and it would clear. I tried rolling...

Yeah, that ain't what mine looks like. My app says "Exterior lights and sounds", which I guess is what's leading to my confusion. I've already moved on and lost interest at this point. I'm just happy to have the climate updates & improvements. I do like the bog frog.

Did it say that somewhere I missed, and even so, that seems like a single line of code: "If Gen1 then DON'T show external sound or motion options." So, at the very least, it's unnecessarily confusing. Also, how do we lack the hardware on Gen 1? We have the same speaker that plays the lock...

I'm super happy for the update, especially the enhancements to climate control. The Halloween freebee, however, seems mostly broken on my Gen 1 LE. Everything seems to work fine on the inside, (video & sounds, soundboard, LED lighting, etc.), but all of the external-related features are...

Good lord! Someone get that man a 5A fuse!

Who makes your Dashcam? Is there an FCCID listed on the thing?

Ideally, you'd decrease the fuse rating as you get closer towards the accessory. The hardware kit wasn't right-sized for the dashcam - it's just a generic 15 Amp solution "for most things". If they actually cared about the safety offered by that inline fuse, they would have determined what the...

BRILLIANT! I'll be sure to follow you for more recipes after I spend another 2 hours on the phone trying to understand why SXM's trying to milk us $25.10 for a $10 plan. You're the best!

After half-a-dozen calls to the Philippines customer service center, I finally got one of them to transfer me to a Canadian rep who transferred me to the same department that handles Tesla's "virtual" accounts. They've opened an investigation to sort out why the $9/mo streaming-only option...

...and you're paying for the data plan on top of that, too... This is starting to get expensive for what should have just been another variant of the already existing SXM streaming app...

That is what I was expecting to happen with my account, but my experience was completely different. None of my favorites were imported, and the free 30-day trial was "automatically" added to my account with a note telling me I'll be charged $25.10 at the end of the trial. So, the app knew who...

The new SiriusXM "App" in the R1 is a trap. Somehow, Rivian & SiriusXM managed to cough-up an app disguised as a Satellite Radio - complete with a horse-crap Radio ID, even though it's actually just a streaming app. As such, if you call SiriusXM and ask them about this, they want to charge you...

I wrote up a parts list for this mod a few months ago. See: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/tutorial-diy-guide-installing-12v-outlet-in-frunk.21045/post-429531

I had the moisture issue on my Gen 1 R1S, but just on the driver's side near the footrest. It took 2 service center visits to get it resolved, but on the second attempt they found the problem was due to water walking down wiring coming through the firewall. They sealed around the wires and...

No worries about that - you're tapping in before the circuit fuse for those other accessories, and none of that stuff should come close to eating 10 amps anyway. There's probably more like 50 amps in the box that supplies that 10 amp, if not more, and you're branching off of contacts rated at...
