That’s fine. Except you used your interpretation to crap on their product announcement. So count yourself in that group with me

Oh no, that wasn’t my intention for sure. I was just providing my feedback.

Sorry if I offended anyone, most importantly EV Sportsline.

Rivian Nation, we've been working on this one for a while! Finally launched today just in time for Black Friday!

1 - plug and play (DIY install), no cutting or splicing or permanent mods!
2 - no tape or scewing mount to dash; patent pending design locks into factory dash!
3 - does not use any USB-C or cig lighter ports! plugs directly into fuse panel above driver feet / under dash
4 - full CarPlay (wireless) connection, run Waze, Google Maps, etc - and play music through Rivian audio

To the EVSportline crew - thanks for working so hard to build a business here and trying to find the white space to serve our market. We appreciate you.

Install looks pretty clean and great job making it not permanent! I’ve noticed all the screenshots show the main screen on the camping page; I’m curious what everyone will show on theirs once this is installed. Maps? Gauges?

I’m not a CarPlay fan, but this seems like a great option for those who want it. Rivian seems pretty adamant about their desire to keep all infotainment in house. Eventually someone will probably figure out how to use the main screen, but who knows when that will happen…

BTW, are you sure your spec is Bluetooth 4.0 and not Bluetooth 5.0?

I expect this would void your warranty for any claim related to electrical . . . on an Electric Vehicle.

Install seems to be reversible, so I probably would not be too concerned.

This seems like a good option for the CarPlay fans out there. From the pictures, the screen looks to be in the same style as the other OE screens in view, which is a good thing.

It looks like the supplied power adapter that hooks into the fuse box outputs usb-c. So I am guessing you could just hook to onboard usb-c to power the device.

Looking forward to user reviews once this becomes available

We opted for it to be carplay or android auto only. So for carplay, all carplay map opions work: Waze, Google Maps, Apple Maps...

1) Are these in stock and ready to ship? If not, when will these start shipping?

2) How does the audio work? Phone connects via Bluetooth to your display for wireless CarPlay/AA, then the display connects to the Rivian, also via Bluetooth or is there FM transmitting to the Rivian? Just trying to get a sense of ease of starting up this setup upon vehicle entry.

correct, you could use your own USB-C power cord, from the underdash cig lighter (if you have one) or center console, if desired. Ours plugs into the fuse panel, clean and simple.

Shipping in Dec -

2 - audio connects via bluetooth (carplay) directly to the Rivian (audio plays through the factory Rivian audio). Yes it has an FM transmitter as well, if desired, but I'd recommend carplay for the best audio.

Should not be the case. Federal law protects consumers from over zealous OEMs trying to void warranty. This unit has 1 wire that plugs into the fuse panel. The fuse panel is where power is tapped for the vehicle USB ports. This is a safe install. And if you dont want to use that, run a USB-C cable of your own, directly to the USB-C in the center console. If you have any issues from a warranty denial perspective, reach out and we're happy to get involved and help.
