Yeah general disclaimer. Im embarrassed to say this but I had no idea the Rivian didn’t have AM but I haven’t used AM radio in a decade so not surprised I didn’t find out. Ford’s wireless chargers will adapt if using AM radio to reduce interference so I thought it was possible Rivians would too...
Update: They seem to maybe have gone on backorder again as they haven't shipped my most recent order. Too bad they don't give any info about it. I am trying to stock ~5 units to have so they can ship quickly in the future.
Just FYI to all, these do appear to be in stock now with Rivian. I am fulfilling all orders I currently have for it this week and should have more in stock ready to ship later this week/early next week.
In my testing it is a 20W charging pad. I did not test two phones simultaneously to see if it could do 40W combined. This is 20W before losses though. I would expect more like 15W into the phone. I kind of prefer this to higher power ratings due to heat. If I need to charge faster than that I...
It seems Rivian already got more stock of the chargers if anyone was waiting. They’ve shipped me 4/6 that I’ve ordered already. Not sure when more will ship but their September estimate was very long luckily.
Edit: Right after I posted this I checked my email and they shipped the last 2 units...
I missed this question. I did not hook up the CAN lines to it so there's no communication with the vehicle to that function. I don't even think it'll necessarily consume any additional power. The charger works great with only power and ground hooked up. I have a lot of experience with Ford...
Personally I don't like my phone mounted on the dash and don't do it in any of my vehicles. It either stays in my pocket or goes on the charger. This is a convenience thing for me over using a cable which is what I have done until I installed this. Really not a requirement, just nice to have and...
I got on a deep dive and decided to try to make the Qi2 charger work In a gen 1. I had hoped the only barricade would be the plug being wrong and it was. I have designed many wiring harnesses as part of my business so I thought I may as well try to do it for this. It is very simple. Rivian has...
Reading this is crazy to me. I have had nothing but good things to say about the Hazelwood service center. The only bad thing that happened was after my first apt ever they damaged my a pillar speaker grilles but they fixed that with a mobile service appointment.
Good luck to you man!
Got mine on. Happy with it! I put Pirelli scorpion ATR on-road all terrains. I wanted minimal road noise and maximum range for an all terrain plus I don't go off road at all basically. They were also late 2021 production on clearance for $650 for the set of 4. Couldn't pass it up! We'll see how...
Convection plays a huge factor. If you are driving 70mph with a head wind of 20mph you have 90mph worth of air going across the car. I drove in -4ÂşF the other day and found that when I was driving into the wind the cabin got a little cold for comfort, but when I drove the other direction with...
When setting it to HI sometimes the fan goes to full blast or nearly full blast. When it is really cold outside this can cause you to actually cool the cabin off because you're sucking in more cold air than can be heated. I recommend never setting the temperature above 80ÂşF as there really is no...
You know I noticed this too. It has only once bothered me. I don't know if it's from 2023.50.1 but I did notice on one drive the cruise was really almost making the car shake with acceleration up and down. Though I haven't noticed it since.
