  1. Adventure Pilot using Comma AI - review by Out of Spec

    I have the standard OpenPilot harness. I've been running Sunnylink since I got my Comma 4. Today I installed the mr version of AdventurePilot. It contains additional MADS modifications. Once I've had a chance to drive on it, I'll post some feedback. I also swapped to the Darksoulsv2 model...
  2. Common Myths About CarPlay

    I agree that Rivian Assistant has made EVPlay even better. I can use EVPlay / CarPlay to put Waze on the big screen for traffic alerts, use Rivian navigation on the drivers screen, and use Rivian Assistant to do mode changes, texting, etc. Integrated CarPlay would be better, but EVPlay is good...
  3. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    I have been surprised in a good way by RA so far. It's done everything I asked and even what my wife asked. It's dramatically better than Alexa ever was for me. I love being able to change ride height and modes by voice instead of having to do a bunch of touching around. The texting features...
  4. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    Comma harness = steering control only. The Rivian does its own speed control. I like this quite a bit. Xnor harness lets the Comma do lateral and longitudinal. You can always start with the Comma harness and upgrade later if you prefer everything to be done via Comma.
  5. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    I’m using mine with a radar detector. It probably blocks some coverage and ma limit a bit of range since my radar detector is mounted to the rear view mirror stalk. With that said, the detector is still working. I can post a picture tomorrow.
  6. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    I'm running a Comma 4 on Sunnypilot Dev. Using the Rivian longitudinal control and Comma lateral control. This seems to be the best of both worlds. I'm happy with the stock longitudinal, the display behind the steering wheel for the factory controls, and the improved...
  7. 🔥 EVPLAY : Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are Finally Here | EVPLAY Install, Setup, Initial Impressions ⚡

    Are you doing CarPlay wired or Wifi? I decided that I only wanted mine wired to prevent it from automatically connecting and to reduce lag.
  8. 🔥 EVPLAY : Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are Finally Here | EVPLAY Install, Setup, Initial Impressions ⚡

    Mine was also in an early batch and has this issue. The latest software changes didn't help. I'll have to disassemble my dash one more time to do the hardware mod. Hopefully that finally fixes it because I don't want to keep disassembling my lower dash every time it fails to work.
  9. RJ on CarPlay (Autoblog Post / Stratechery Interview)

    I'm a strong believer in "Yes and...". The latest OS makes using EVPlay (CarPlay) 50/50 for me. SiriusXM finally works (I have a subscription but it wouldn't connect before), is relatively easy to use/stable (other than arranging favorites which fails every single time...), and sounds better...
  10. Glad to have a Gen 1

    Front bench seat in the R1T, 800 V charging with 350 kW+ max, real 400 mile range at 75 mph, Meridian or equal stereo (CarPlay would be a bonus) and I would upgrade today... R1S also needs 2nd row bucket seats. The Scout has a lot of this, but other aspects aren't as good as my G1 R1T.
  11. OMG The freaking OG 180kWh Max Pack was actually made!!!!

    If the new Quads came with 800 V charging and 180 kWh batteries, I'd upgrade in a heartbeat. As it is, not enough benefit over Gen1 Quad.
  12. Upgrading Gen 2 with Meridian speakers...?

    I'd love to see a replacement subwoofer. Especially if Rivian offered it in the Gear Shop and had it fully integrated with the factory OS. Imagine on-screen control of subwoofer level. Otherwise, you need to fix the factory signal and then add EQ / level control.
  13. When will Rivian get CarPlay? Need better Nav and hands free text

    At this point, EVPlay makes the add-on screens a bit redundant. It works pretty well. You can flip back and forth between Rivian systems and CarPlay/AA nearly instantly. It also has built in Android with Google Play store to run native apps. I have been switching between Rivian's UI and...
