The frunk tub already has the mating connector you can use (to power the tub lights). You just need to pop out the water plug seals and put your wires into the appropriate positions. I am assuming Rivian hasn't yet tinkered with that side of the wiring harness and that 12V is still routed to...
Just to add to the fine details here - The frunk OEM connector used in question is a Sumitomo 6185-5181 that uses Sumitomo 8240-0265 Female Terminals. The wire plugs (water seals) you need will depend on the gauge of wire you end up using, obviously. Getting the seal size right with the wire...
The hot-motor phenomenon freaked me out the first time I caught it in action. As someone mentioned earlier, this is a case of TMI (Too Much Information) coupled with a poor knowledge of how Rivian designed the system. Rivian risked a lot by providing this kind of information, and while I LOVE...
Got my MIM Variocage Double (Large, $1434.99 after tax) from AdeoPets today. Here's some pics, sans the 2 Cardigan Welsh Corgi's that will occupy the doggie jail.
Sad note about that - I have a Theremin mini made by Moog. My wife got it for me about 6 months ago. I found out about a month ago that Moog was purchased by a shit company called InMusic that promptly laid most of the NC staff off and has plans to offshore production to Asia. Moog was in bad...
Ha! The joke's on you! CostCo's current Christmas offerings are for next year, not this year. You missed this years' Christmas offerings by ... uh... 9 months?
Seriously, though, the dead giveaway is all the Pumpkin-Spice crap that shows up everwhere...?
With the right parts (2 mating female pins for the Sumitomo frunk OEM connector, 2 silicone wire seals and a 12V marine-grade outlet), you can add a 12V connector in the frunk and hook it into the pre-wired OEM connector. They still run 12V to the mating connector on the driver-side socket, but...
I finally received LE VIN #13112 ordered 11/27/2018. After they damaged my first one (#7073) in shipping to Bellevue, WA in early May, they repaired that one then sold it to some other sucker while my guide tried to find me an 'undamaged' replacement. The second one that was "allegedly"...
There are a couple options for ODB-II based power:
Scosche Universal 5ft USB Hard Wire Kit with 18W USB-A QC 3.0 Port
Garmin Constant Power Cable
The Scosche part has a pass-through ODB-II plug design, but the Garmin does not. This means that you could plug the Garmin into the Scosche, and...
All these tiny cuts are adding up, too. "Death by a thousand cuts"... My 3-hour preorder for an R1S that's now due sometime late next year is starting to look and feel like more of a pain in the ass than it's going to be worth. There's going to be several other options available on the market...
Not sure which "rear 12V outlet" you popped, but the fuses for the 12V outlets are located on the Driver's side fuse panel as follows:
F46 = 12V Port #1
F51 = 12V Port #2
F54 = 12V Port #3 (GearGuard/Rear Tunnel)
F59 = 12V Port (R1T-GearGuard/R1S Luggage)
To hopefully abate some of the questions I know will likely come from posting this information:
I do not yet know what all of the signal names are for - there's still a lot here to learn and discover, but please don't hammer me with questions about signal names
I have not verified all of this...
The passenger fuse box is located forward of the air bag (the rubberized panel with multiple clips). You don't have to molest the air bag or air bag panel to get to the fuse box.
Yep. I ordered my R1S a few hours after the pre-order window opened. Order #1673 on November 11th, 2018. The latest meaningless guesstimate for my R1S is now July-September 2023. Red Canyon, Black Mountain.
I ordered my R1S 3 hours after pre-orders opened, and they just pushed me out to July-Sept 2023. I've had a guide assigned for a year, now. I live 17 miles from a operating service center. I have no idea WTF Rivian is up to, but I couldn't care less at this point. I am just worn out. I will...
I didn't see this one anywhere in the wish-list, so I must be the only one that lives near forest fires. The R1's desperately need a quickly accessible recirculate button on the front page/screen that can quickly be pressed as needed. Additionally, there needs to be a way to lock it so that...
Hey, folks -
I have an R1S reservation allegedly due sometime in Oct-Dec. I'm not holding my breath, however, since Rivian's moved that Window about 37 times now. Anyway, our house mate has an R1T, so we've had lots of opportunities to look at things that are common to both R1T and R1S, and...
