One-Touch Garage Door Opener, Nav Enhancements, Text Address Sharing From Phone To Vehicle, EVgo Autocharge+ Support, and Additional Improvements


One-Touch Garage Door Opener
You now have a quicker and easier way to open or close a garage door. After you set a location for a garage, a prompt appears on the driver display when you approach or leave that garage. You can then press the right thumb control button on the right side of the steering wheel to open or close the garage door. If you have multiple paired garages at the same location, use the thumbwheel to scroll and then select the appropriate garage.

Before you begin, park near and in front of the garage when you set the location.

• For an existing paired garage, the next time you open or close that garage door, you will be prompted to set the location of the garage on the center display. You can also set the location of an existing garage by going to Settings > Connect > Garages.
• When pairing a new garage, you will have the option to set the location at the end of the pairing process.

NOTES

• When you enter a vehicle that is parked at a set location, press the brake pedal to enable the steering wheel controls.
• You can still choose the Garages button in the status bar on the center display to open or close a garage door.

Navigation Enhancements
We’ve made it more convenient to plan trips and get on the road:

• Search results for places now include the drive times next to the results as you type. Choose the drive time to go straight to navigation. You can still choose a result on the list to view details and a preview of the route before you start your trip.
• Charging stops that are part of your trip now appear with pins that show the planned charging time and charger speed – the faster the speed, the greater the number of lightning bolt icons. Tap the charger pin to view details about the charger’s network, availability, and speed.
• When you arrive at a charging stop that is part of your trip, you see the target charge level under the arrival message. This tells you how much you’re supposed to charge during the stop.

New Text Address Sharing From Smartphone To Vehicle Navigation
You can now share text addresses from your smartphone to your vehicle navigation, including addresses in text, emails, calendars, notes, and other apps.

On your smartphone, for any address in text that you can highlight or long-press, choose Share, and then choose the Rivian mobile app to send it to your vehicle navigation. The Share option is also supported for Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Yelp.

EVgo Autocharge+ Support
With EVgo Autocharge+ support, you can start charging your vehicle by plugging into a DC fast charger from EVgo. The EVgo network automatically detects your vehicle and associates its charging with your EVgo account. To enroll in Autocharge+ in the EVgo app, go to Vehicle Autocharge+, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Additional Improvements

• Locking and unlocking:
  • Improved the responsiveness of proximity and active unlocking with any key, when the vehicle is asleep.
  • Added independent lock and unlock options to the center display. These options let you know when the vehicle is partially unlocked and provide a quick way to fully lock or unlock the vehicle.
• DC fast charging:
  • Improved DC fast charging speed, by up to 2.5 minutes, at high battery temperatures. Thanks to Kyle, Out of Spec, for your videos!
  • Reduced battery cooling noise during DC fast charging, at high battery temperatures.
• Driver+:
  • Added a chime that sounds when Adaptive Cruise Control disengages.
  • Added a message that appears on the driver display before the vehicle reaches the maximum speed allowed for Highway Assist and disengages Highway Assist.
  • Fixed a rare issue in which the driver display indicated that Adaptive Cruise Control was active when it actually wasn’t.
• Alexa:
  • Added commands so you can turn the third-row vents on or off and control their fan speed. For example, you can say, “Alexa, turn on the third-row vents,” or “Alexa, set the third-row fan to maximum.”
  • Fixed a rare issue in which Alexa acknowledged but didn’t play a requested Amazon Music Podcast.
  • Fixed a rare issue in which Alexa didn’t respond after you asked Alexa to perform a car control command when you weren’t logged into Alexa and you changed the units of measurement for the temperature settings.
• Added a control to allow you to disconnect your smartphone from Bluetooth.
• Fixed a rare issue in which Bluetooth audio or the Phone app disconnected after you updated or restarted the software.
• Fixed an issue in which multiple phones weren’t properly displayed on the Drivers and Keys screen if they were paired to the same profile.
• Fixed a rare issue in which part of the driver display remained in day mode when you switched the displays from day to night mode.

Text Address Sharing From Phone To Vehicle is pretty useful.

The app change made it consistent with the truck and now this change in the trucks makes it inconsistent with the app, lol

VERY excited about one touch garage

i didn't realize my truck could be "partially unlocked" until just now

Cool updates. Looking forward to receiving them.

Still patiently waiting for the clock to be closer to the driver.

Driver's door can be set up to be the only door to unlock automatically.

Can you even read anything on the dashboard?

Beat me to it

The garage door thing will be nice. I'm really waiting for the side view camera thing when using turn signals, that's the number one thing on my wish list. I do have to say though it's pretty cool that every single month we seem to get something useful in software on this truck and the UX design is really intuitive.

I think for all that people rag on them Rivian has some pretty great software developers and the software makes this unlike any other vehicle I've ever owned in a good way.

 

[RWerksman]

All of these are good, but I can't help feeling that Rivian keeps just nibbling around the edges. Still no messaging, Driver+ improvements, and streaming apps that were talked about in the meeting with owners months ago.

I was really hoping for them to ship something neat with this update.

Seems like they knock out at least one thing I'd like to see fixed every four weeks. Polestar has been decent at improvements but a lot of their focus doesn't correlate with things I care about so much.

UGH, when are we getting the blind spot camera view when signaling and entertainment apps... They said coming this summer... I guess they have 1 more month technically, lol.

One-touch garage will be great!

Still waiting for a couple things I think are key for me:
-Text message integration
-Lane change capabilities when using Driver+

Reading texts will get there, I waited 3+ years to get it on my Tesla.

I’m pretty happy with the OTA cadence and focus. Seems like each one has a new/better feature to play with and lots of refinements and issue resolutions.

Sure would be nice to see some of the bigger wants that people have but based on how complex software development/testing is, people really have to be impressed with pace and quality of what is being released.
