I believe it is confirmed there will be CarPlay support.Totally see the benefit of what Rivian is working on from an infotainment perspective. Just hoping we will have the option for CarPlay in some way. One example is having access to Waze or other advanced integrations with iPhones.
I've heard, multiple times, that there will not be CarPlay support. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.I believe it is confirmed there will be CarPlay support.
I have confirmed with CR more than once that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto WILL NOT be present.I've heard, multiple times, that there will not be CarPlay support. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
If you haven’t already, please email Rivian [email protected] or call them atThis is pretty much THE thing that has stopped me from putting down a deposit. Don't think I can go back to having a car without CarPlay.
Super annoying. I will not be paying for a data plan for my car, and so much functionality is left on the table by all OE systems (notifications of police locations via waze, A better route planner for better EV route planning, etc).
I don't really understand how it benefits Rivian to not support CarPlay.
Done.If you haven’t already, please email Rivian [email protected] or call them at

Let them know that the lack of CarPlay is preventing you from ordering.
They know that some of us (raising my hand) want CarPlay. A lot.
They also know we are buying a Rivian anyway so it may not carry as much weight as losing a potential customer, like you.
I’ve certainly written enough already about how it would benefit Rivian and customers to offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay so I won’t repeat myself.
Please let them know this is an absolute requirement for some shoppers and maybe they will change their course on this.
Thanks!
Maybe it won’t make a difference but it can’t hurt. Thanks for giving them official feedback!Done.
... doubt it'll make any difference.
Rivian plans to give away zero business. Zero. Why send people to Apple, when they’re developing their own vehicle? Why let Android collect the data on listening habits and then sell products to YOUR customers in your own vehicle?I know Rivian has said not happening, not happening at laugh , maybe later, or screen is too big for it...Or any other number of things but just wanted to share this image. This is the Mach-E screen, which is really large running CarPlay. It can be done it is all about software, I think it is a miss by Rivian, especially since Lucid support CarPlay as well. I hope they deliver it later, but it won't stop me from getting my R1S. Just food for thought.
Your argument goes right out the window with the integration of Amazon Alexa.Rivian plans to give away zero business. Zero. Why send people to Apple, when they’re developing their own vehicle?

Rivian will be the source for all sales in their vehicle. Since Spotify and Amazon aren’t building their own car, Rivian has sweetheart deals with both. No competitor’s product will come within spitting distance of incorporation inside a Rivian. The only possible caveat would be if the customer will pay Rivian for the privilege. And if that would annoy customers then better to not offer it at all.
