  2. California WTB Gen 1 Key Fob and Wristband

    I still have a Gen 1 Key Band that I was holding onto for a hoped for eventual Rivian R1S purchase. However, I now know that I will almost certainly not get a Gen 1 vehicle, so I would consider selling it. It is the desirable grey+yellow version (ZY3 _ _ _). Looks exactly like the stock photo...
  3. Advice Sought - Rivian Key Band

    Just some fob followup: Thanks for your helpful comments. For newbies: Rivian Gen 1 (2022-2025) and Gen 2 (2025-present) fobs are fairly easy to tell apart will a little practice and careful examination. Look for the little shackle-release button on one side of the fob body. If it is there...
  4. Advice Sought - Rivian Key Band

    For the record, I have a second similar (grey+yellow) original Rivian Key Band (ZY3_ _ _) that has been given a clean bill of health (i.e., it is unpaired) by Rivian Customer Service. I may eventually offer it for sale (for example, in the Rivian Forums classified area). If I do, I don't want...

  6. Advice Sought - Rivian Key Band

    In one conversation I had with seemingly knowledgeable and friendly service staff-person (Rocklin, California), he said that Rivian is rumored to be working on making the software changes necessary for Gen 1 vehicles to recognize and be able to use Gen 2 fobs. When will that be? Who knows...
  7. Advice Sought - Rivian Key Band

    This is a request for advice/help. In 2025 I purchased a Rivian Key Band (ZY4_ _ _) from the legitimate original owner whose Gen 1 vehicle had unfortunately been in an accident and was “totaled.” A few months later, in 2026, I took it in to my local Rivian service center and was told that it...

  10. California Genuine Rivian Key Band (wristband) For Sale

    Hmm. Strange. I have a bookmark in my browser with that web address that still takes me to the correct pdf page. So I just copied that web address verbatim.

    If you are looking at this, you probably know about these. Originally intended for Launch Edition R1 vehicles (in 2022-23), they should also work with all Gen 1 R1Ts and R1Ss. There is also anecdotal evidence from owners (and unofficially from Rivian staff) that they work with Gen 2 vehicles...

  13. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Very helpful and interesting post. From 2017 to 2021 I drove a Honda Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car (my first modern, electric -motor, high-tech vehicle). It had a (somewhat clunky) Garmin GPS-navigation system and the option of using CarPlay, I believe. I don't recall all the details, but I...

    Followup Number 3: Today (6/4/26) I visited the Rivian Service Center in West Sacramento, California.* I brought them two Rivian Key Bands I am selling in to be evaluated. Using the Key Band ID numbers (on the bands) and the Rivian computer system staff there determined: Both ZZ____ numbered...
  15. Will an Original Rivian Key Band Work with a Gen 2 R1 Vehicle?

    Hmm. Too bad. Instead of writing on the car :) maybe one of those little adhesive dots you used to be able to buy at stationary stores? (Do stationary stores still exist?) Maybe in tasteful Rivian yellow?
