So true. I mean in all seriousness, it seems forum members have very strong opinions on AA/CP, and more recently, Connect+. Hopefully EV Play allows people on both sides of the aisle to get along.That would result in at least 90% fewer posts per day. I mean…some people here don’t even own a Rivian and will still create an account so they can bitch about the absence of CarPlay…
Thank you for that. I feel like all of us owners are innovators to some degree. Willing to take a chance on a startup and help pioneer the EV effort. It just seems lately that EV manufacturers, including Rivian, are in a race to the bottom with respect to price. For me, it has always been about value. I'm willing to pay more if the features stand out from the competition. I remember deciding between a Ram 1500 and a Ford F-150 back in my younger days. The Ram was cheaper but I went with the Ford mainly because the available aftermarket ecosystem was way stronger. Lifts, light bars, wheels, shift curve chips, etc. I'm hoping Rivian sees the light here because the preferred outcome is that we collaborate vs. play entering into a long cat & mouse game. I would also consider it a win if they implemented all these features natively.Irrespective of my personal level of interest in the product, the innovative character of it is really cool. I do wonder about the warranty implications even with whatever laws are out there in various states about making changes to vehicles. If I we’re Rivian I’d be giving you a phone call to express interest in the success of this. So bravo Alex!!
Thank you!I was expecting a third party solution to materialize to fill this gap with Rivian (as it did for Tesla) sooner or later, and wishing you the best of luck in getting it finalized and to market.
Hoot hoot.I'm confused. RJ, the world's smartest, most humble and nicest man, has repeatedly said that all the noise about Rivian not supporting CarPlay is overblown and that we don't need it. And as a Rivian fan boy (and owner) I believe everything he says, why on earth would anyone go to all this trouble to develop a work-around for it? Maybe the guy doing isn't aware of all the really cool lock sounds our vehicles can make?
