  1. Carplay on Rivian Workaround

    That is the position I'm looking for too. Curious what display unit you chose, and what the mounting holes look like on the back. I'm planning to use friction hinges to allow folding it backwards when not in use.
  2. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    1 billion percent agreement. I have ordered some 'friction' hinges on Amazon which allow rotation, but kind-of 'stay' in place where you leave it. In the ideal world it'll fold backwards below the HVAC 180 degrees when I don't want to use it, and thus appear (almost) invisible. We'll...
  3. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    I'm going to give it a whirl... with a 10x4 cutout, just aft of the lower HVAC curvature, here's the positioning:
  4. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    Huh? When my cup holders are 'deployed', I can still easily reach things on the lower/center area.
  5. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    I have what may seemingly be an annoying question.... Has anyone tried to mount this specific unit below the center HVAC outlet, instead of up on the dash? I realize the mounting bracket is the 'secret sauce' of the kit... but I'm willing to drill and/or use VHB tape below the vent to achieve...
  6. Draining the *&@(#!*& doors

    I did my doors this week, and removed the full inner plastic piece -- to gain access to both rubber plugs. My advice? Let the SC do it. I cannot even begin to describe the pain and suffering to refit the 'larger' inner plastic piece onto the door. Getting the lip of the plastic piece to...
  7. Using a small generator and L1 power + in cabin heat

    D'oh! I ran an extension cord from the gear tunnel through the center access hatch, and plugged in the MacBook from there. Good to know there's a 120 inside the cabin :) Pre-Rivian, for my son's races, I used an inverter from my cigar lighter in a Subaru Outback while idling in the gas...
  8. Using a small generator and L1 power + in cabin heat

    What a nothing burger ! Arrived at race location with 82% charge. Sat in the truck with cabin heat + seat heat for 3 hours, using wifi hot-spot and gear-tunnel A/C for my laptop. Total consumption? 1% Outside temperature did not exceed 26dF, but I did park toward the sun... so I was...
  9. Using a small generator and L1 power + in cabin heat

    I like the reply from @Polar the best :) Am I wasting my time with the generator? I don't need to add to the battery pack, I just don't want it to be unnecessarily reduced by running the heat + accessories.
  10. Using a small generator and L1 power + in cabin heat

    Tomorrow morning I need to support my son who is running a 'very cold' marathon while rucking a 30 pound pack. The outside temps will be around 15F-20F the whole time. The location of the race is nowhere close to any L2 chargers, but I'm not worried about driving distance to or from the...
  11. Rivian Presents: The original Rivian road trip (Long Way Up)

    Fun video. It was indeed the "Long Way Up" series that turned my family from Rivian 'curious' into Rivian 'reserved' -- and now, Rivian 'owners'.
  12. 1,850 day wait with one major warning!

    I did a tire rotation on my R1T this week. I have a two post lift, pucks, and every tool imaginable. It was still a gigantic pain in the arse. Having done it myself now, I'd be be more than willing to pay $80 for Discount Tire to do it ! Yes, I'll take my pucks and help the shop raise...
  13. Ghetto method of powering the house with a Rivian

    No way, no day. I use two Westinghouse generators, with proper cables, and pushed though Reliance transfer switches. Do it right, do it once. Don't kill yourself (or somebody else)
  14. Master Thread: JEBINC’s installation tips and review of 1EV / EV Sportline CarPlay / Android Auto display kit

    Can anyone speak specifically to the use and experience of this device with AA only? I'm not a hater of Apple products but in my world, they only exists on my desktop. Everything in my pocket is Android.
  15. Would you try it? Thanksgiving + Family, R1T, NC>Florida 800 miles

    In my first post, I wrote: Boy oh boy was I off. And, glad we just took our Subaru Outback instead of the R1T. The drive from NC to Naples, on Wednesday before Thanksgiving took us.... (are you sitting down?) 19 hours. Literally we drove through heavy rain the entire route, and nearly...
  16. Christmas Eve: Discovered a screw embedded in my tire

    Protip? I carry a few sets of nitrile gloves in my plug kit, because those goobers get sticky gross (especially in the summer).
  17. Couldn’t Connect to Alexa, Help!

    Mine died this week too. The infotainment reboot didn't solve the issue --- but, related/unrelated, as soon as I enabled the vehicle hotspot, Alexa was suddenly 'accessible' again and I simply needed to sign in. Whatever...
