What’s New in Rivian Software 2025.38 Update (Now Rolling Out)

[Taco Corp]

FEATURE REQ: We need a way to rewind a song ~10 to ~15 to ~20 seconds. Ideally by simply holding in one of the left steering wheel buttons. Much easier to do this versus scrolling on the bar through the song pop out window. I’ve submitted this request a few times to Rivian feedback through the app.

I sent the same thing in, also asked about setting the skip ahead to 30 seconds. I keep using my phone for podcasts 99% because I can skip commercials with 1-2 clicks.

I received this today and while the Ionna filter is there, Ionna Chargers are not showing on the map yet. Also, EA charger status is not showing up either, they still say “unavailable” as status.

Perhaps Rivian still needs to enable it, but you would think that would have been done prior to pushing the update, particularly since the release notes with the update say that these are new features.

I see IONNA in mine and Electrify America status too

Did you try a soft reset (Infotainment Reset)?

No I did not but it obviously restarted after the update. I will try that and see if it is fixed.

 

[Jtg11]

Okay, just restarted infotainment and it did not fix it. I then did a whole car restart and still did not fix. Do you have a Gen 1 or Gen 2. I have Gen 1's. Maybe this update is for Gen 2 only?

It’s for both. I have a Gen 1 but I’m still waiting for the update. I believe @electrictaco a couple of threads back installed it and it’s working on his GEN 1.

We don't really know the technical details of how this is all architected. For example, it's possible (IMO likely) that the App has been updated and shows the filter, but their is a separate database of charging locations that still has to download independent of the software update. From a software architecture viewpoint, it would not make sense to embed the locations in the app. I suppose they could be loaded real-time, everytime OTA, but that would also be undesirable - what if you are out of cell service and need to find a station?

Give it a few hours or overnight and see if it has new locations. Patience is a virtue.

Glad to see a fix for this. I just ran into it this weekend and was shocked to find that for the first time ever I'd plugged in the truck the night before and it didn't charge. Tried plugging in after a drive and it refused to charge until midnight Monday morning despite the all-day on the weekends option selected via the "Off-Peak" charging option. So weird. I just hit the button that was something like start charging now and kind of ignored it, but still weird. It was as if the truck had no clue it was the weekend. Also realized the truck doesn't show the date anywhere, only the time.

I noticed this exact same issue. And when I tried the stupid off peak settings, it has the wrong electric plan for me. APS has 4 plans, but Rivian shows only one, and it is not the cheapest.

I have no intention of using the electric rate feature. Is there a way to hide/remove from the app?

This is all possible. @Jtg11 said please let us know if things change at some point.

Question: How soon until this release gets generally pushed out? Is it within a week? Is there a time of day that Rivian generally does the push? I do subscribe to Connect+.

Usually within a week or two of the initial deployment but some report longer. They seem to push out in the late afternoon/evening, in batches.

Maybe related... I realized my home wifi wasn't connected and went to reboot the entertainment center. Just as I pushed the buttons a message popped onto the screen that the navigation database would be updated on the background the next time I connect to wifi.

My R1T falls into the category of being a narcoleptic - it goes into a hard, deep sleep at the drop of a hat with my app showing "...not connected to Wi-Fi". I am in the truck, I walk away and less than two minutes later, it's locked and asleep, and it takes a good 20-30 seconds before it wakes up and unlocks the doors, even when I tell is not to lock at home.

I am going to try rebooting he entertainment center a little later today to see if that changes anything.
