Or at least bitch about the buggy Apple Music software that could easily be resolved WITH CARPLAY! ?
Well we did it - 6 of us now upgraded to Apple Family, on my end to get Apple Music for our R1S. And boy does Apple Music suck (at least on the Rivian). Back to the (somewhat less sucky) Spotify.

Imagine how useful an odometer and clock might be <sigh>
I, too, have been asking for these for years. I would have thought that these additions would be easy for the programmers. These are simply things that are already in the system, just not where you can see them without going through several screens.

I am here to entertain.

I'm a former Apple Developer, yet I find Amazon Music is pretty flawless in my R1T.

I find it flawless now. Was pretty buggy for the first year of ownership but that's somewhat to be expected for a new company. I am having fun creating Dolby Atmos playlists on my phone and then telling Alexa to play them in my truck.

Curious...what issues are you running into? Before I installed the tailgate pad I used my 1UP on my T. Enabled rear accessory mode but didn't see any behavior that wasn't disclosed in the manual.
If you plug in an accessory like brake lights, the vehicle is forced into tow mode and loses all Driver+ safety features like emergency braking. There's no way to override it and tell the vehicle it's just a rear accessory, even in rear accessory mode.

PLEASE rivian just fix rear accessory mode for the love of bike racks

For those of us that use a hitch bike rack with integral plug-in tail lights, it is frustrating that plugging in the bike rack disables all sensors. Many of us have been asking for a work-around option via OTA.

I kind of want to scream every time I get a text and can’t respond while driving in my R1T, while I can in my other vehicles. If no CarPlay they need an alternative! ?
There is already is an alternative.

Since you reference CarPlay I assume you have an iPhone. Simply enable Siri, works great.

I simply say Hey Siri, tell {recipient name} {my message}

Siri then responds over the vehicle speaker who the recipient is, what the message is, and ask if I want to send it.

Thanks for this. For a fleeting moment I thought maybe they need a part time Rivian tester/full time Firefighter in Maine to tell them all the stuff they’re doing wrong or the cool stuff i want to see. I didnt see that specific posting, but Ill keep checking back.
Haha, I would also take that role.

Gary has been injured since the last OTA version... I'd like to see the next update get him healthy again.

So what's coming in next update? YouTube and texts is all I am missing
SiriusXM release has essentially become a running joke (much like CarPlay).

We tried the free Spotify to compare to Apple Music, which is awesome in Atmos on the Meridian system. Spotify is not just shit audio quality, but hard to use.

No update for me yet, I seem to be in the last third for updates.

You and me both! Apple music quality and Meridian are super good! Just with they would fix the bugs....
