It's not special. The only thing to be aware of is it won't work with USB-C power delivery chargers. I used a standard Anker USB-A to USB-C cable and an old small white iPhone power brick and it worked fine (just as a test to see if I really liked it before installing it in my R1S). However, It did not work with a USB-C PD charger and a standard USB-C to USB-C cable.
For the record I have tried:
BTW - Gaia GPS, onX Hunt do work with our Smart Screen (via CarPlay).
For the record I did send an email with a video and haven’t gotten a reply 4 days later. And a generic use what we provided (the most involved install method) even know you say can use the 12V outlet under the dash is garbage.
@jjswan33 First, @EV Sportline delivers a 100% working solution out of the box, but of course, some of us are tinkerers and like to "mod" everything, including myself (See below)! Next, look how quickly they released revised firmware to address forum member input - as compared to the cheap Chinese stuff you find on Amazon (that usually comes with units and translations issues) - I had one of these prior to getting the EV Sportline version.
Well it’s a good thing that @EV Sportline has someone providing support, I hope you’re getting a salary. Not trying to mod everything, I just wanted to plug it in under the dash to try this out rather than dealing with a full install. For the record I did try an 18W QC port as I mentioned already and got nothing.@jjswan33 First, @EV Sportline delivers a 100% working solution out of the box, but of course, some of us are tinkerers and like to "mod" everything, including myself (See below)!

Okay, the 12 dash plug use - You say you can't get it to work... the issue is with the charger you selected, and not the display.
I created a detailed thread on this and installation of the @EV Sportline display (that I use for CarPlay). Re powering the display from the 12v dash socket, see --

AND my subsequent posts - #46, 47 and most importantly, #52!
To each!
@jjswan33 Looks like @EV Sportline also sells this, for those not wanting to use the provided fuse box connection, and for those few that actually have a 12v dash socket! Thanks to Sandy "cheapening" Munro, Rivian deleted that a long time ago (along with many other things)!No salary!
The dash 12v solution works just fine, you can't use the USB-C port on those little aftermarket chargers, as noted in my links above.
Free Will: I have not had the same issues with this vendor as you, so not sure what's going on there.... But, as I said earlier, "To each"!
I seem to recall some friction regarding a jack puck but then they paid you offNo salary!

More or less that is what I recall as I also had pre-orders for jack pucks that were ’obsolete’ before they even shipped, I didn’t bother exchanging. I was joking when I said they paid you off, either way glad you are happy with their service.
