Aren’t we all supposed to be hands free and watching the road? (Or the big Center screen at times?)
I just don’t understand why there is no option to have music more accessible.
Unless I memorize the names of 400 Amazon music stations/ playlists (assuming Alexa doesn’t send me to FM every time I say “radio”), I have to browse on my phone for a station/playlist or podcast that fits the mood. Or search on my phone for a playlist in iTunes.
Shouldn’t there be some way to browse on the infotainment screen? And why do I have to stare at the message to ask Alexa to do stuff in between 2 pictures of what’s playing? Enough already. Got the message day one.
Even the Alexa integration is sub-par. What I wouldn’t give for CarPlay or a real Amazon Music app etc! I even tried three different screen options and none were recognized via Bluetooth.
I feel dirty looking down into my crotch every time I want to browse music channels. At least the driver assist will stop me from ramming the dump truck ahead
Rivian… Please please make this easier and safer for all of us on the road!
