2024.27.1 and 2024.27.30 Update are rolling out for Gen1 and Gen2

[JeremyMKE]

Why do these updates come right before I take a road trip!!! Not a lament just laughing at life. Would love Apple Music for the trip.

To be clear I love the updates and frequency it has been a joy of R1T ownership.

With bluetooth, I have to put volume at 20. With Amazon Music, 15. The better and higher the bandwidth, the less you need to raise the volume, in my experience.

So no enhanced audio with Spotify, correct?

Spotify doesn't support it. Max 320kbps, the lowest quality streaming option out there.

Yeah, every so often I’ll go to charge at home and the truck refuses to initiate the charge. It will try like 4 or 5 times to start but will still fail. Only hard rebooting the truck will fix it. It only started with this last update. I have a SC appt scheduled for Monday but may postpone or cancel depending on if this fixes its

I suspect connector at charger. Mine did same about a year ago and it was getting pretty melted inside the connector.

Anyone know if Atmos tracks on Tidal are also enabled with this update?

It’s not the charger. I have another EV and it has no issue with that charger.

I have the exact opposite issue. The audio is a complete cluster now. For reference I listened on BT using Apple Music. I had my volume set at 17, Dynamic audio On (not enhanced). I cannot figure it out now. It doesn't even matter if its Apple Music or BT, I need to drop the volume.

When a Dolby Atmos song comes on a 10 sounds decent. If it's not Dolby Atmos a 10 is insanely high and I need to cut volume down all the way to a 5. This is with default or Rock setting, it doesn't matter.

A few other things I noticed too.

1. When playing Dolby Atmos I'm pretty sure the Dynamic audio is irrelevant. I changed these around and saw no sound difference. That might be by design, not sure.

2. I'm not sure Dynamic audio is working properly anyway though. Even if its a non-Dolby Atmos song Off and On sound EXACTLY the same, I saw no difference over multiple songs. Enhanced does sound like there is a difference.

3. Cover art basically never loads when using Apple Music.

4. Apple Music does not remember where I was. I get out and get back in and the app loads but if I was playing a playlist it doesn't remember it causing me to start over.

5. If I want to shuffle a playlist I have to do it EVERY time, it doesn't default to it. I feel like shuffle should be a default setting when choosing a playlist, but that's maybe just me.

Bottom line I'm not even sure I will use it which is a disappointment for me. I didn't care about Carplay, I just wanted Apple Music, but as petty as it sounds constantly scrolling volumes up and down and getting all sorts of different playback is a pretty bad experience thus far. I will play around with it more, but after 15 minutes I figured I would deal with it later.

Side note when I got in my Garage Door driver dash display was not there. A soft reset and toggle of the setting on and off fixed that. Just FYI for anyone else.

I too noticed that the volume control changed - I had Spotify at 15-16 for normal driving but now its so loud I had to change it down to 5 or 6. Oddly cell phone calls unchanged, still need to use 18 or 19 to hear calls.

Apple Music sounds incredible with Dolby Atmos. Goodbye Spotify

This is my first update cycle. I've been trying the scheduled update without any action yet. Just turned that off while I am awake. Does it make any difference since the update is a push request to the vehicle?
