Update: I received 3 units from Rivian, with more on order still. All 3 are spoken for and will be shipping out asap. Rivian has now added an "out of stock" notice when you order these from them. They don't give any kind of ETA though.
Yeah general disclaimer. Im embarrassed to say this but I had no idea the Rivian didn’t have AM but I haven’t used AM radio in a decade so not surprised I didn’t find out. Ford’s wireless chargers will adapt if using AM radio to reduce interference so I thought it was possible Rivians would too...
Update: They seem to maybe have gone on backorder again as they haven't shipped my most recent order. Too bad they don't give any info about it. I am trying to stock ~5 units to have so they can ship quickly in the future.
Just FYI to all, these do appear to be in stock now with Rivian. I am fulfilling all orders I currently have for it this week and should have more in stock ready to ship later this week/early next week.
In my testing it is a 20W charging pad. I did not test two phones simultaneously to see if it could do 40W combined. This is 20W before losses though. I would expect more like 15W into the phone. I kind of prefer this to higher power ratings due to heat. If I need to charge faster than that I...
It seems Rivian already got more stock of the chargers if anyone was waiting. They’ve shipped me 4/6 that I’ve ordered already. Not sure when more will ship but their September estimate was very long luckily.
Edit: Right after I posted this I checked my email and they shipped the last 2 units...
I missed this question. I did not hook up the CAN lines to it so there's no communication with the vehicle to that function. I don't even think it'll necessarily consume any additional power. The charger works great with only power and ground hooked up. I have a lot of experience with Ford...
Personally I don't like my phone mounted on the dash and don't do it in any of my vehicles. It either stays in my pocket or goes on the charger. This is a convenience thing for me over using a cable which is what I have done until I installed this. Really not a requirement, just nice to have and...
I got on a deep dive and decided to try to make the Qi2 charger work In a gen 1. I had hoped the only barricade would be the plug being wrong and it was. I have designed many wiring harnesses as part of my business so I thought I may as well try to do it for this. It is very simple. Rivian has...
Reading this is crazy to me. I have had nothing but good things to say about the Hazelwood service center. The only bad thing that happened was after my first apt ever they damaged my a pillar speaker grilles but they fixed that with a mobile service appointment.
Good luck to you man!
