Does the Rivian R2 have: SiriusXM and Walk-Away Lock

[DukeofArmchair]

I could forgive the lack of AM/FM/XM receivers if they didn't also get rid of the ability to use a suction cup mount to put a Starlink Mini dish under the sunroof. That works great in my Gen 1 R1S and I can often get 100 Mbps even while in motion. From what I understand it no longer works in the Gen 2 R1S or in R2 due to changes in the sunroof glass.

Are we sure it won’t work in the R2? Possibly the issue with the R1 is the Electrochromic glass?

It’s believed to be cause. But it’s an option. And the R1S’ third row roof glass is not a problem. The R2 does not have electrochromic roof option.

You might be right. It would be great if it works. I tried to research it online and it seemed like it was related to IR/UV coatings and not just the dynamic glass option. But I see now that there are varying reports. I'm tempted to schedule another demo drive just to test that without even taking the car off the lot.
