  2. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Very helpful and interesting post. From 2017 to 2021 I drove a Honda Clarity hydrogen fuel cell car (my first modern, electric -motor, high-tech vehicle). It had a (somewhat clunky) Garmin GPS-navigation system and the option of using CarPlay, I believe. I don't recall all the details, but I...
  3. California For Sale: Miscellaneous R1 Accessories & Parts

    Followup Number 3: Today (6/4/26) I visited the Rivian Service Center in West Sacramento, California.* I brought them two Rivian Key Bands I am selling in to be evaluated. Using the Key Band ID numbers (on the bands) and the Rivian computer system staff there determined: Both ZZ____ numbered...
  4. Will an Original Rivian Key Band Work with a Gen 2 R1 Vehicle?

    Hmm. Too bad. Instead of writing on the car :) maybe one of those little adhesive dots you used to be able to buy at stationary stores? (Do stationary stores still exist?) Maybe in tasteful Rivian yellow?
  5. Will an Original Rivian Key Band Work with a Gen 2 R1 Vehicle?

    That doesn't seem right. Rivian should be able to rectify the situation. I wonder if the original owners would want them back (for $)?
  6. Will an Original Rivian Key Band Work with a Gen 2 R1 Vehicle?

    I know that this is an old issue that has been discussed in these Forums. However, confusion and misunderstandings about these devices clearly persist. What We Think We Know Rivian Key Bands were first issued with Launch Vehicles in 2022-23. Key Bands can be successfully paired with other Gen...
  7. California For Sale: Miscellaneous R1 Accessories & Parts

    Followup Number 2: Here are more photos of the Amazon no-drill front license plate mount. Thanks to assistance from @Robot Overlord it makes more sense, now. Correct Assembly suggested by @Robot Overlord Front Back (Note padding on lower surface of mount.)...
  8. California For Sale: Miscellaneous R1 Accessories & Parts

    Followup Number 1: Here is more information about the 3-D printed front license plate mount. It is actually quite clever. A. The mount is made of two pieces of 3D-printed plastic. They fit together (using bolts and nuts not supplied), clamping around a front tow hook. B. The mount...
  9. California For Sale: Miscellaneous R1 Accessories & Parts

    Thanks for writing. Just for the record, I paid $250 plus tax for each fob. Sent directly from Rivian. Never used; never programmed. One is still in the unopened Rivian mailing package. So my fob price is firm--still a savings for a potential buyer. Cheers.
  10. California For Sale: Miscellaneous R1 Accessories & Parts

    My understanding is that the Gen 2 key fob button will work with either a Gen 2 R1S hatchback or a Gen 2 R1T tonneau cover. But, I have not confirmed that personally.
  11. California For Sale: Miscellaneous R1 Accessories & Parts

    Here are mostly new and some lightly-used parts for Rivian R1S and R1T (and maybe R2?). Items include: Photo #2 Key A. SOLD B. Rivian first aid kit (like new) C. Yellow silicone front tow hook covers (new) (one pair SOLD)* D. Rivian front trunk (frunk) cargo net (never used) E. Hat / lapel...
  12. R1S / R1T Outdoor Car Cover now in Rivian Gear Shop (May 2026)

    IF you regularly park a car outside, a cover can reduce damage from sun, bird droppings, hail, sand, and other small debris. It is also arguably a minor theft/vandalism deterrent (in some areas; in others, not so much). Is it worth $500 (say for a $100,000 vehicle)? That's up to the individual...
  13. R1S / R1T Outdoor Car Cover now in Rivian Gear Shop (May 2026)

    I was curious if and when Rivian would offer a branded car cover for their R1 vehicles. I can't be sure, but they look similar in design and materials to the kind built for and sold by Tesla for Model X, et cetera. They were expensive also, like $450 at the time (less now, I believe). R1s are...
  14. Range Against the Machine¹ - Rivian OEM Wheels, Tires, and Range Considered

    The Administrator recovered an earlier (May 5) version of the OP. And I have access to the table function again. (Can't live without tables.) So things seem to be OK again.
  15. Range Against the Machine¹ - Rivian OEM Wheels, Tires, and Range Considered

    I received a swift reply from the Administrator. He is working on correcting the issue and will try to recover my lost tables. You might share with him (again) your issues. They may be related to my problem, or not.
