  1. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    So you don't have an EVPlay but yet you "know" that it's not as good as an integrated CP solution from a car company that has a history of not only refusing to integrate it but an inability to implement basic features like text messaging. LMFAO. Move along swamp, not buying your brand here...
  2. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    I have no problems with my EVPlay that you allude to. Happy to walk you through the basics of proper installation or you could also involve Alex. Sounds like you need to figure out how to properly install your device.
  3. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    Oh Jesus Christ, stop with the hyperbole. Rivian can't even implement a functional Apple Music client. "could", "possibly", "truly" are all bullshit completely unrealistic happy words in this context. I've had 3 cars with CP (including Volvo) and they all glitch out periodically. There is no...
  4. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    As someone who vehemently argued that Rivian needs to allow AA/CP, I now wish all these posts would just go away. If you want AA/CP, get an EVPlay. The EVPlay is probably a better implementation than Rivian would do anyway.
  5. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    Mirror tap for RD here (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5JH9NCH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) I have the Janka Rivian specific slide mount so I can push it closer to the bottom of the Mobileye cover.
  6. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    I have that setup but put my RD as high as possible to the right (passenger side) of the Mobileye cover. I then put the comma 4 as tight as possible to the bottom of the cover (using a Janska slide mount). Not near my car right now but can take a picture later if you want.
  7. EV Friendly Camper - A different approach

    Seems that if you're okay with the concept of ICE that this would be a better use case to get a Scout with Range Extender and use that to power the RV without ICE, which would be much cheaper and lighter.
  8. Successful EVPLAY install with GPS antenna, custom button & mic mount (full install video)

    There is a 2-3 second pause switching between the 2 systems. I don't find myself switching much if at all. I made some scripts in Home Assistant in widgets in CarPlay so I can increase or decrease temperature and control the seat heater/steering wheel heater while still in CarPlay.
  9. Successful EVPLAY install with GPS antenna, custom button & mic mount (full install video)

    I was one of the first EVPlay customers and the unit is fantastic. I put the wireless USB module on a 6 inch extension cable and it just slightly pops out of one of the vents underneath the passenger footwell. It is the fastest CarPlay I've ever used with no unresponsiveness at all as long as...
  10. 20" Inch Toyo Open Country A/T III EV 275/65/20 116H tires review

    FYI this is another example that real life experience does not always agree with theoretical physics. I replaced the stock 20" Pirellis with the much heavier Toyo LT tire yet the LT has the same efficiency and also has much better lateral torque compared to the Pirelli (based upon open pilot...
  11. 20" Inch Toyo Open Country A/T III EV 275/65/20 116H tires review

    Physics is more than just weight, otherwise my Toyos that are "7 lbs more" would not have the exact same efficiency as the Pirellis. Rolling resistance being a huge factor. And weight isn't the only difference between the SL and LT as the SL is 0.5" more narrow. Nevertheless, I don't want to...
  12. 20" Inch Toyo Open Country A/T III EV 275/65/20 116H tires review

    I've got 15K miles on my LTs. I am satisfied as I off road quite a bit (Colorado). I considered the SLs but could not find any efficiency data on the SL tire that showed it is more efficient than the LT. AFAIK, the efficiency is about the same, which is counterintuitive given the weight...
  13. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    I tried to make it clear to you with multiple GREATER THAN signs, but alas, I cannot make it simple enough.
  14. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    No texting >>>>> Texting within line of sight (ie phone mount at dash level or CP/AA) > Texting while blind to road (phone in lap) Don't fool yourself about the importance of line of sight. I'm very familiar with the studies regarding safety of any distracted driving, including those of CP/AA...
  15. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    [ I have informed Rivian through the appropriate channels of my desire for consumer choice. But thanks for wasting YOUR time on this forum giving us your “pro” tip! Obviously you care, or you wouldn’t be telling us what to do.
  16. Apple CarPlay coming to rival Tesla

    There have been literally hundreds of these CP/AA threads on this forum, and they always devolve into 2 camps: those that want owners to have choice and those that do not want others to have choice because they don't like it. The lack of empathy in the latter group is insulting but not...

    not sure if you’re a native English speaker but your logic is crazy train insane.
