I believe āSpatial Audioā is Dolby Atmos. I couldnāt find a unique setting for Dolby.
When playing a song in Apple Music app on Rivian, the āDolby Atmosā badge would appear beneath the song title and it sounded awful. Once I disabled Spatial Audio, I no longer see the Dolby badge under song...
Good luck! After I made that change, it actually sounds great. Like speakers I thought werenāt working now suddenly are.
I went into Apple Music app settings on the Rivian screen (open Apple Music and tap person icon in top right) and disabled Spatial Audio.
I have Gen 2 with premium audio, by...
Thanks for sharing!
I forgot to update my own thread on this (I posted elsewhere), but turning off Spatial Audio in the Rivian sound settings made a 80% improvement in sound. Everything is so much better. Steer clear of that and Dolby Atmos, and then Apple Music app on Rivian screen sounds...
Not sure if anyone has said this (I havenāt read the entire thread) but Iāve been experiencing the same thing in my 5 months of ownership. I only just found the fix.
I went into Apple Music app settings on the Rivian screen (open Apple Music and tap person icon in top right) and disabled...
There is a NFC reader in there. I kinda wonder if one day theyāll build a feature that lets you pay there via Apple Pay for fast charging (non Rivian or Tesla) or something? Thatād be cool I guess.
My R1S was recently at the service center and they said thereās an active service campaign to check headlights because some are set too low (not sure if this was specific to Gen 2) so theyāll check and adjust for you. Just put in a ticket.
Yes, concur with above. I actually just asked Rivian support this very question because Apple Watch as a Key is in the ads. They confirmed that hasnāt been released yet and is coming later.
Sorry youāre experiencing the same issue, but itās a MASSIVE relief that itās not just me, which gives me hope itās a software issue and not hardware.
Iām hopeful for the update as well, but itās under the Apple Music heading so I wasnāt sure if the fix was specific to that app. I experience...
Oh interesting! Thanks for sharing. Curiously, I notice it when playing via Bluetooth, but itās even MORE noticeable if playing from Apple Music app in Dolby. Especially podcasts or someone speaking, sounds like theyāre talking from the front right speakers. Iām going to be taking it back and...
Hi, all! I have a Gen 2 R1S with the upgraded premium audio system.
Since delivery, itās almost like the balance/fade is off (itās definitely set to center in settings), with most of the sound coming from the front right of the vehicle. When sitting in driver seat, the left side is noticeably...
I went by today just to see if theyād release it, and coincidentally the part arrived last night and it was ready to pick up! So it all worked out after all!
Yeah, Iāll give it a try today. The loaner is a four seat sedan, which doesnāt exactly replace the R1S.
But at this point, itās been sitting in their lot longer than Iāve gotten to have it and Iām still paying for it.
For sure! I love Rivian, its mission and people, and am 100% behind the company and these cars! Donāt get me wrong, Iām a huge Rivian fan! Just a bummer to have problems day one after waiting for years. I know theyāll make it right, just a bit up in the air until they do.
With proximity...
Thatās exactly what Iāve been worried about! Especially since itās having all these issues so far. Iām supposed to hear back today on a time I could maybe drop it off.
Now proximity locking has gone haywire. I had it set to āLock onlyā at home but it was still unlocking when I approached. Iāve...
For what itās worth, they seem to have taken feedback and fixed this with Gen 2! The SOS button is now a series of two presses. You press the button first, which pops out to reveal itās just a plastic cover. You then flick the cover down and press the big tempting button inside. Itās very...
Thanks, all! Really appreciate the feedback and encouragement.
I did pour through the ownerās manual before it arrived, and after looking for steps yesterday. I did try the screen reset but that didnāt solve the issue.
I also tried the vehicle reset but couldnāt even perform that function...
