I'll check on Alexa's truck/phone interaction to refresh my recollection on calling up an album/track. For sure the volume, next/previous track, and pause functions on the steering wheel work with the Bluetooth connection.
Not currently...there's been some talk about a future OTA upgrade. For quality and reliability, a cable solution beats streaming, for sure. Even satellite is a bit flakey the further north you go from the equator...
That said, the sound system via Bluetooth is really, really good. I wouldn't...
Coming up on the date mentioned in Rivian's Membership Bundle Is Gone, Owners To Pay Only for What They Want - autoevolution. Has anyone seen anything about what RAN and other currently bundled services are going to cost?
My key fob's basic functions work: opening the truck, locking the truck, opening the frunk, dropping the tailgate. At the same time, the driver/key section shows that the fob needs to be setup. I have tried to do that hoping that I would then have access to proximity unlocking from the fob...
Since the R1T manual clearly states that the truck is not designed for a slide-in camper, I'd be really careful and ask about voiding the warranty. Given the weight limitations (check your sticker, mine below), if you figure your weight, your passengers (including pets), clothing, bedding...
For my launch green truck...if you don't get the reference, download or ask your music service to play 'truckin' by the Grateful Dead...a different song reference comes to mind as well:
"Every time that wheel turn 'round,
Bound to cover just a little more ground."
Amazon and Google are better than frenemies...Amazon stuff (Alexa, Audible, shopping) works on Android and Amazon sells lots of Alphabet products (Nest, Fitbit, Chromebooks, etc.) not to mention that the Amazon tablets work off a version Android. There's actually more cooperation than competition.
I'm wondering if the variation might relate to the carrier you got it from since they all seem to load their phones with their own apps (crapware+). For what it's worth, got my S23Ultra via Xfinity (Comcast). Their wireless service is really cheap if you have them as your home internet provider.
I use adaptive cruise control regularly and have never tried driver+. Since I'd have to be ready to be in control at any moment, I just don't see the point. I am open to being educated. What's the advantage of driver+ over adaptive cruise control?
Boy, howdy, this is right on. Pretty obvious when it comes to chips; but also steel, glass, the other stuff that allowed us to be 'the arsenal of democracy' in the past...
I don't think this is just a Rivian thing. Talking to non-Rivian owners and looking to my own roughly 60 years driving experience, well, to use an old guy phrase, they just don't seem to make window glass as tough as it used to be. There may be reasons for this (heated windshield, maybe), but...
