Definitely less so about carplay, moreso about allowing an easy capability for screen mirroring outside of a subscription, that's all. Everything else, super valid and fair ?

haha no I just want screen mirroring + everything else the rivian offers that's all

haha no just on behalf of myself. I clearly didn't do as much research as I should have but meh, whatcanyado

Valid! I was referencing that I had a standard feature that was taken away, and I was unaware that it would occur (completely my fault). I guess it was a silly assumption that i'd be able to use the massive 21" screen to control my music like what's standard on most other cars without a separate...

Ha nah I just came back to 8 pages of comments and was kinda baffled at the responses - very friendly group here!

Nah not at all - there's simply no need to pay for a separate data plan to mirror my phone audio to the car interface, as proven by android/apple car play for the past ~8 years. This should be free and available, AND if they want to have a subscription service for a data plan for other shit, so...

Super valid - and a very solid response. Thank you, you're right!

Yes, but this is the point. The phone has a data plan - correct! But the car doesn't, and it works!! If someone just acknowledge this part I feel like this thread could have ended super quickly ?

THANK YOU!! About time someone stated the obvious...nucking futs how people think I'm just annoyed over here about nothing

Thank you for pointing this out..this is exactly what I was saying.

Not sure how 90% of these comments missed the point except this one: "Rivian has announced at least 20 times by now they are not interested in phone mirroring which is what you're asking for. You CAN stream music over your phone and the skip track buttons do work when you do so. This wasn't a...

yes correct!

Luckily we only leased, and to be fair, we didn't know they'd remove this capability several months after leasing ??‍♂️ . I'm not upset that this isn't CarPlay, just annoyed that the capability to interact with an app doesn't work over bluetooth, but rather requires a separate subscription fee

I realize I'm being pedantic and that Hotspot is still an option, but also frustrated myself at this for a $90k car. I'm just venting on my behalf of my wife who is ready to pay out our lease just to get a different car haha

I don't need a separate data plan for CarPlay and I can still use Spotify in my 2016 4Runner and select songs from our touchscreen, playlists, etc. That's what I'm getting at.

Passengers can scroll through playlists and select songs via Apple CarPlay + Bluetooth. Not sure why data is needed for this?

Whoops meant to say that I know this is an option, but just seems like an annoying workaround for something that should be standard IMO

I love the infotainment screen in our '24 R1S, but I'm in disbelief that we can no longer use the Spotify/music apps on the infotainment screen unless we pay for Connect+. Now, you have to control the playlist, music etc on your phone (Yes, I know you can fast forward, rewind, etc on the screen...
