How do I turn off Ads from appearing on my Driver Display when listening to the radio?

That's probably just what the RDS system is broadcasting. This is just like when a new song comes on.

Maybe then leave the Driver Display for driving information and the Center Display for advertisements. Since there is no escaping ads, ever.

Yeap, it's a clever (but crappy) implementation of live RDS data changes. My Sierra and my Q7 both did the same thing.

Complain to the radio station is about the only thing you can do, but I doubt it helps.

Electrical tape.

You must want to see and hear ads if you are listening to the radio.

Almost all, if not all, radio stations are software-driven, so the ad message you see is the title/tagline of the ad as it appears in the station's log.

That's not Rivian's ad, it's the station you're listening to. Don't want to see those ads, buy a music subscription like Spotify, Tidal or Apple Music.

To turn off ads, use a service that you pay for and is not ad funded. That seems obvious?

Then don't listen to FM? You're really blaming this on Rivian? Sounds like you don't want any audio track info on that screen, which fine, but that's a different ask.

That is easy. Turn off audio. No audio track info. I mostly do this now. I think it is an aging effect.

My husband listens to the local pop station on his Tesla. It always shows the ad in the "butterfly" on the screen, and also on the phone app. With Apple Music, all you get is what song is playing.

Well, back in the day, my solution to ads was to simply change the channel....
