This is the third or fourth time I’ve jumped in my truck and the dash states that I need to use a card key and my iPhone doesn’t allow me to drive my truck. I open the Rivian app on my phone, and still says no card key is detected?
Very irritating so any anybody else have this problem?
I’m in camping mode right now

But this has also happened to me at my house when I wasn’t in (Camping) mode

That occasionally happens to me, too. Turn the Bluetooth on your phone off and then back on and it works again.

Thanks
That worked
My phone allowed me to drive this time by cycling on and off the Bluetooth
It also did the ghost windshield wiper on a sunny FL day 🙈

Had same issue Saturday and again this morning. Key card did not work, but eventually the phone app did this morning.

This happened once to me in the 3 years I have had my R1S, I power cycled my phone and all was good.

I'm jealous! Everyone is doing a simple solution and their issue is resolved, however nothing works on my end and I've tried everything. And I have a service appt on Thursday to try and fix my issues that I'm being charged for! I've only had my car for less than 2 months and the digital key hasn't worked at all.
