Hmm, I don't remember that being the case, but I'll look when it's back from SC.
BTW - SC had to get to some part of the radio that was under my drawer. They are charging me for time to remove and re-install my set-up <sigh I knew that about rock sliders, but never considered them having to...
Another update on the 3rd row seat removal:
Because I disconnected the seat and seatbelt wiring, the car's sensors report that there is someone sitting in the 3rd row. Nice thing about that is that when my AC is on "auto" it automagically sends air to the 3rd row (cooling, but no warming). And...
Wifi HotSpot does stay on if in camp mode, you toggle managed energy to stay on.
But I think @JM. is right - take the Riv out of it completely and get a 3rd party device with it's own cell / data connection.
Sorry to have caused all the confusion!
Yep - I realized that later, but can't figure how to edit the title.
I was trying to connect the temp monitor via the car's hotspot (and I am a connect+ subscriber.) According to Rivian Support, it will not communicate to a 2.4GHz device (but they also told me it was only "5G".)
I could get...
A main reason I bought the Riv for its off road abilities and Pet Mode. I do love it (in theory), but I don't trust it.
I have had some experiences where the interior temp my app reads and the actual interior of the car are dramatically different. That made me nervous. But the last straw was...
Anyone know of a temp monitor (with a phone app / alarms) that will work in connect +'s 5G? Most seem to run on 2.4GhZ only.
(I am done trusting the Riv's internal temp and Pet Mode. Until it's more reliable, I want a back-up temp monitor for dogs in the car.)
Oh forget to mention for anyone considering this , the frame has a right-to-left center support and the plywood deck is two parts. So to get to the spare, I just pull out the drawer and pop out the rearmost piece of the deck.
I finally got the frame and gear drawer complete and installed. Removing the 3rd row allowed the few extra inches of height needed for the drawer. I am very excited to reach this functional stage!
Next, dog crates for the top of the platform!
It was easy! (Thank for inspiration from @FooF and guidance via details of 2nd row removal from @Mojave)
I used:
10mm standard depth socket, extension, and a ratchet
10mm wrench
13mm standard depth socket, ratchet, a 16” breaker bar. (I am sure pneumatic or impact drivers would help, but by...
I want a wide drawer to put my dog gear in and set my dog crates on top of. Something like this photo https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachments/7b96a33c-ad47-4ba3-8e1a-810f043d19ee-jpeg.3053158/ . Wheels and Feels makes some nice ones that also allow you to reach thru when the drawer is open to the...
I want some drawers from https://wheelsfeels.com, but they need a R1S in Houston to fit. Anyone in the area interested in drawers? (They also do kitchens, sleep platforms, etc.)
Attached example photo in a RAV4 for interest
Anyone have drawers for the rear area of an R1S with the 3rd row of seats down? I'm looking for 2 side-by-side drawers the same height as the 3rd row arm rests.
