How many steering wheel clicks needed for garage door open?

[Donald Stanfield]

One brief press followed by waiting a couple seconds.

short click, long click....no guarantees in my case. Might work the first time but also not till the third try. After two attempts, I usually revert to the button on the large screen which in my case appears to function reliably. This is particularly true in the morning, while trying to drive out of the garage.

i have to click the right button on steering wheel twice to open or close my garage door but it works…doesn’t seem like one click to me but much better than what we had b4…is this the way it is suppose to work?

once, then wait, initially I was hitting it a few times, then realized, I was being impatient.

You can see the Yellow square acknowledge the button press if you look at it while pressing the button (to ensure you're button's not faulty)

Boy I wish I could get mine to work. I have the old-fashioned method where the garage door is at the top of the display. That one requires pressing the garage symbol then selecting the door and a pressing on it. I have a gravel driveway so it's hard to be steady enough to press the right door. We do have 5 doors, so will the new method take that into account?

Can we get Alexa to open for us?

I only do it once but have learned it has to be a quick light press... if held too long it doesn't work for me... more of a tap ONLY, then I can get it in 1 tap and not multiple

Are you on 2023.30?

The truck asks you if you want to store the location the first time you use a door. You could go into the garage settings and do that manually. I have two doors programmed at home but only use the one regularly, so don't even have the location set for the other one. If I need to use it, I'll dig through the center display popup menu instead of fighting with the scroll wheel.

So far it's worked great for doors at multiple locations, pop-up happens when I need it.

the scroll wheel allows you to select which registered door you want to open. of note, you have to go through the menu to activate this feature for each door.

Mine I only have to click once to open and once to close. This is a great step for Rivian in the right direction. Next step is to add geofencing so that like the Tesla when you get within a predetermined number of feet it either opens or closes the garage door AND closes or opens the mirror at you home. This is the difference between control and automation. I liked automation a lot better. But still happy that they've added this.

Tap it, don't press it and it seems to work for me...

Yes, I do have the latest update and for some reason it only has one door that pops up. Unfortunately, it's not the door we regularly use for the Riv and I can't seem to add the others now.

@Feetdry if you use your garage icon and pick, I think it'll sync it with the current location. Once it's location aware, you should be able to use the right scroll wheel to switch between options.

Once, Not sure how long it needs to be down but anything from ~100 ms to 500 ms has been fine. It takes a moment to actually start moving the door, but I don't think the timing is any longer than it was from the display.

With the previous method using the center display, the button triggered a spinning circle that let me know the command was being executed while the new steering wheel method gives no feed back that the command was executed leading me to repeatedly push the button as the door now takes almost 45 seconds to respond.

The button on the driver's display that corresponds with the button on the steering wheel blinks when it works. Mine is only a 2-3 second delay.
