Dang, I was hoping it would work for others. Rivian in any case has dropped the ball!

Solution: delete app, re-install app, re-sync phone as key. Hope this works for others!

I’ll try the reset but not working atm on my gen 2 R1S. Bummer.

If Apple, turn off Sound Check under Settings (click the person icon). Makes a WORLD of difference. Also turn off Spatial Audio while there seems to weirdly flatten the sound stage. If you’d like to try my EQ settings that I think really help open things up: Dynamic Low on 63: +1 125: 0...

Also, my gosh, just discovered Sound Check is on by default in Apple Music - TURN IT OFF. It literally is night and day. The bass just turned on! Spread the word! CAREFUL: Volume will jump, turn down first. Go to settings (click the person icon) turn off Sound Check under Audio. You might also...

WOW this is awesome, thanks for posting!

My R1S was in the shop - the front doors were vibrating and rattling when music was playing, which they thankfully resolved! I had my first experience with the Meridian system on the loaner and boy is it better. At first listen with a flat eq curve I’d say the overall sound is more cohesive and...

It’s so variable! Moving the seats changes so much. Focals would be amazing for sure. I’d love to get your thoughts on the updated settings I just posted, you seem to have a great set of ears and am really enjoying your reference tracks!

Updated EQ settings I’ve grown to dislike the Dynamic Sound Adjustment, turned it off and spent some time running through various reference tracks to build an updated EQ curve if anyone wants to give it a try. My main goals are to tame the resonances and mid harshness while keeping the bass...

It’s obvious they didn’t do enough work to tune this system to the vehicle. The resonance buildup is terrible and EQ can only take it so far. The frustrating part for me is it’s so variable - I can EQ it and it will sound great for 5 tracks and then fall apart on the next unlike I’ve experienced...

You’re welcome. I still am not super happy with how the 4k band sounds in this vehicle and will set it to -3, -4 to let more transients through vs. the -7. Hope it’s a good starting point!

Yes, hold the EQ dot and drag up/down. You should notice it’s stepped and stops at defined intervals.

Thanks so much for the feedback, glad it’s made a difference! I think you are spot on with moving the balance to be just off the rear of the driver, really expands the stereo width out and away from the top center of the dash.

Just took delivery of a 2026 R1S with premium sound and was pretty darn disappointed comparing to the Tesla I was leaving behind. I produce and engineer music for a living and after a while was able to get a much better sound (Apple Music) after making cuts to remove harshness and reduce the...
