amazing how all over the map people's thoughts are on this... not sure if it's because im on a meridian r1t or what, but with some small tweaks to the EQ, disabling the 3d surround crap; and using Apple music (native).... I am experiencing some fantastic sound. Still not as good as our Model...
I have my truck's 3d surround set to off and the atmos works extremely well. Great song to test it on is Look at me now by chirs brown. When busta ryhmes breaks in the sounds are just coming from all over; very amazing experience.
The other side effect i'm noticing now is the bass response...
I'm guessing you don't use airpod pro's and listen to spatial audio much? Kinda the whole point of the atmos/spatial is that it's made to sound like you're practically on the stage and different sounds come from all over the place.
The good news for you is you can just switch off the atmos in...
I have a mount with my phone up to the left of the screen. When using Waze, the list of all the turns you have coming up show up on the cell phone and the ev1 screen shows the actual map. Personally love the dual screen setup that way so i can always know what turn is coming after the upcoming...
worked much better than I would have thought. Getting it to snap into place takes a little wiggling; but overall very solid. I really like having the turn by turn showing up on the cell phone with the map showing up on the carplay screen; felt informed at all times.
Originally I was going to...
This past weekend I added the ev1 smart dash screen to my truck so I could have "carplay" and it works very well. For anyone wanting carplay; I'd just recommend getting that instead of complaining since we know carplay won't ever come natively.
the amount of people complaining about connect+ cracks me up. If you don't want to pay for it, just use the hotspot on your phone for data... At no point did they ever say we were getting free LTE forever. Heck there is a page on their site that talks about it ending dec 31 2023... so in...
Curious to see who is the first to get this update since they just sent out that email. I did just notice the truck downloaded 1.17GB in the last 12 hours, so perhaps the update is queueing up on the trucks.
This^^ in an enterprise of their scale; they'll have a team devoted to just gui work, totally different skillset from the developers doing all the other coding / testing.
Being the pressure that our tires are on, hitting anything bigger than a nail can produce this.. I hit a scrap piece of metal doing 60 and the decompression was insanely fast. Good thing you have a spare! :D
Was a pretty substantial update btw... Just looked at my router and saw that for the Rivian it had 4.86GB of usage over 24 hours... So I would 100% think that being on Wifi helps. So far I've been in the first batch for every release except the one after they borked my nav screen with a few...
Pretty sure we'll see a fairly fast follow with Connect+ being enabled with the 2 month trial. I am sure they want to get to a point they can start collecting monthly money from us.
My favorite 3 items coming in that next release have got to be:
Apple Music
Google Cast and YouTube
Gear...
I personally find it so funny when people give me looks as I load up drywall or plywood in my R1T. It's like they just expect these things to be babied! Nope! It's a truck, use it as one. I see the small scratches from tree limbs as battle scars ;).
Aren't we all already on that to an extent? (speaking as one of the people who was impacted with the non-working screens after an update last year ;) )
