Ok. May have found a (temporary, hopefully) fix.
Iām on a road trip right now with lots of one night stays as drive back from our destination and sometimes unpin the Airstream to charge.
For my last 5 trailer hookups, Iāve had no camera issue.
What I do is turn on camp mode and lock the...
So this morning we changed site at the campground weāre at and I plugged in while the car was āoffā (doors locked and all). 7-way powered everything normally. Iāll continue testing. Hoping this is a reliable fix until the bug is ironed out.
Thanks for the post. Reassuring to know Iām not alone and points to an issue on the Rivian side of the equation.
Thought about it some more. Could it be happening only when we plug the 7-way in while the car is powered on, ie keys detected? Maybe Rivian interprets this as a short somehow and...
On a road trip right now so itāll have to wait but trying out another trailer is a good idea.
That said, I highly doubt itās a loose wire as it never happens while driving. Everything works fine when I disconnect but when I reconnect, it fails. The trailer was idle in between so nothing moved.
Nothing that I can see without opening up hidden junction boxes, but itās a good point. Iāll take a look at the one where the 7-way cable comes into the trailer.
That said, if it was a short, would it not happen randomly even while driving? For me it never does. Itās always when the R1T and...
Thatās a good hypothesis but if it were, would it not also be cutting off power to the trailer breaks and turn signals, which this bug isnāt. Itās only affecting the trailerās marker lights and BU camera. Itās like only a couple of wires in the 7-way are cut off from 12V power.
Hey all.
Odd behavior of the 7-Way connector on my gen 2 R1T. I tow an Airstream with it. For all of my first camping season with the Rivian last year, the 7-way connector worked flawlessly.
This year, all of a sudden, itāll stop powering my Airstream marker lights and backup camera. I notice...
Yep, got Connect+.
Iām unable to activate Rivian Assistant. Itās nowhere to be found in my UI set US English. Nothing under apps, no Rivian compass logo in the top bar.
So far, Iāve done one soft reset and three hard resets.
No expert on these matters but if you set the car UI to French, Rivian Assistant couldnāt be available in English only thatās for sure. If you set the car to English though, I would argue that you should then be able to get it IMO.
What is puzzling to me though is that Google Assistant, which...
Hey folks. Installed 2026.15 yesterday. No Rivian Assistant. Called tech support and they were baffled. Suggested it should work even in Quebec. No documentation Iāve seen says otherwise. Are we still geofenced out because itās only available in English?
Since many of us started noticing/reporting the overheating issue several months ago, they issued a fix for the problem. You hadn't heard? Here's how to activate it. When the car heats waaaaayyyyy past the set point, you simply turn off the AC and open the windows. Then when you start freezing...
Unfortunately, this a deep scratch. Goes right through to the white base coat. Iāve buffed my way out of scratches before but sadly, not this time Iām afraid.
Hey all. I deep scratched the rear right panel of my R1T while backing into my garage. See photo. The car rubbed against a camping chair hanging off the wall. Frustrating but it is what it is and I got no one to blame but myself. ;-) My questions for the group:
1) Is there a new method outhere...
Ok. Tx. I thought for some reason Goo Goo Gone couldnāt be used on painted aluminium. Iāll take a photo in the sunlight tomorrow when itās most visible and post. I see Acetone mentioned a lot when searching online.
Hi all. Had the new roll up tonneau cover installed on my R1T as the old got stuck. There is a 6 inch line that looks like sticky residue on the coverās aluminum finish.
Service advisor said a degreaser would get rid of it. It did not.
When I rub it with my finger dry it does come out a bit...
So I flagged this issue when the SC called me to move my PTC replacement. They said theyād look into it remotely. shortly after, I got a call from someone at head office saying my driver side mirror needed to be replaced for water intrusion.
Yesterday was my PTC replacement appointment...
