Action Button on iPhone can be set to lock / unlock the Rivian

[Explorer83]

Soo… I was today years old when I figured out that the action key on my Iphone 17 Pro Max could be set to lock and unlock the Rivian with the touch of a button while my phone is in my pocket! And it actually works !

Didn't notice that either! I've been using shortcuts this whole time for the action button to get it to do that. That is very helpful! Thank you for sharing.

Doesn’t the phone need to be unlocked?

Well yes apparently it does, must have been unlocked still the first time i tried it… still an improvement quick look at the screen and a quick button press. But yeah… come on Rivian needs to delete the phone unlock requirement .

... is... passive entry not working?

My passive entry never works first thing just because the truck is asleep. I almost always have to use the app at least once during the day. Thanks for this share.

Also works on my Apple Watch Ultra action button. Use it all the time

Hmm. Wondering if Android on my Samsung S25 Ultra might have a similar feature.

Thanks for this. With the Rivian in the garage I HATE proximity lock and un lock with my phone in my pocket. I prefer the key fob, but like to be able to lock and unlock at will with my phone!

Hopefully this gets fixed on the R2 and future models. Passive entry is an amazing feature when it works.

You can also use the little known back tap feature, that's what I do. Triple tap to unlock, and the shortcut also sets a timer in case I forget it's unlocked, or have done it accidentally. The watch button sets the AC on.

Sure if you don’t mind standing in front of the door staring at the door handle for more than eight seconds.
