No dice - smart turn signal is still missing in action.
The smart signals, IIRC, are part of Driver+ or UHF. There was a bug in the last update where the privacy settings were all deselected and so Driver+ and UHF weren't working properly because the permissions weren't selected. Go back into settings and re-enable the location permissions and it should work. Mine had the same issue and now its back.

Thanks, the permissions were deselected. I turned them back on so hopefully all is well tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

Me: “Text Jennifer” (wife’s name is Jenn)
RA: “I can’t find a Jennifer”.
Me: “Seriously? Text Jenn”
RA: “Should I text Jane, Jenn, or John?”
Me: “I waited 3.5yrs for this?”

FFS! Garbage.

I told it "remember that my wife is [Name]" and now I can "text my wife" and it works every time,

Text my wife.
RA: I don’t know your wife.
me: my wife is Jenn
RA: okay, I’ll remember your wife is Jenn.

15sec later..

Me: text my wife
RA: I don’t know any personally identifying information about your contacts.
Me: WTF?

I assume you are saying the precise name in your contracts? It works for me too. My current issue is my phone contacts do not sync correctly. I’m not sure if it’s an iPhone thing or a Rivian thing but not all of my contacts sync for reasons I cannot figure out.

IDK if we’re burning down the world using data centers, do I really need to spell out the person’s name? Dumb ass Siri has been able to recognize that Jennifer and Jenn are the same for a decade now.

and yes, saying her name EXACTLY results in “do I text Jenn, John, or Jane?”. Its ridiculous. Maybe it farmed out the name to Gemini or xAI instead of one of the good ones?

this should not be hard. In RA’s defense, she calculated the parallel resistor value I needed to use for my guitar - all verbally. And knew the escape velocity of the moon.

But Jenn = Jennifer - powned!

I fought with it at first because the “sync contacts” settings were both on my phone AND somewhere in the Rivian menus, but the helpful guided directions only mentioned the phone. That was 10min of cursing.

After applying the latest update/hot fix, now my garage door and passive entry are not working. And yes, I’ve rebooted 3 times and tuned off/on settings. Even though “home” is set for no action, my watch keeps triggering lock and unlock as I walk through the house. I previously never had any issues, even though others had. I get software development is difficult (I am an IT Director), but come on Devs…really need to QA your stuff on something this impacting.

same thing is happening with us, even I get to the truck first, it will switch two her as she comes up on the passenger side. annoying, didn’t do this before the last update. Hotfix installed last night haven’t tested yet. remote control via the app seems better and no longer timing out.
It’s still doing it for me.

This is why I always wait a few weeks before applying updates. I have yet to install the hotfix. I'm not seeing any real issues with the original update, and I'm reading lots of issues after the hotfix here and on reddit. There have been comments here in the past that it is stupid to wait to apply the updates. I'm perfectly fine being called stupid. My stupidity comes from 30+ years of various roles in hardware firmware updates, software development and project management, lol. I've experienced plenty of problematic updates, and it's been fairly clear for a while that regression testing has a lot to be desired at Rivian.

I more meant the last name (along with first) so it knew which contact to match up - I also of course don't know how you have her in your contacts. I don't have this issue so I was curious.
