Holy Bluetooth profiles batman!

[trez63]

I don't know if you guys have looked at how many separate Bluetooth connections the car maintains with your phone, but it's a crazy amount. And even though I'm a fair distance from the car while I'm at home, several of them stay connected long after I've left the car. In fact some of them never disconnect. Hopefully they address this soon cause the truck always seems to think I'm nearby. There are 6 separate profiles connected and there is yet another one not shown below for the removeable speaker. It's nuts!

I just have 1 RIVN and 1 Rivian Audio profile.

Hmmm! I wonder what the heck is happening with mine! I just got the truck yesterday and went through the setup process with the rep at the delivery center so I can't imagine I did something wrong here. I'll restart my phone and see if it gets better. It's possible your phone is somehow consolidating them into one? Dunno. But either way I think this could explain the phone battery usage issue that is posted in this forum.

I had a similar thing on my polestar. I unpaired and forgot all Bluetooth connections and reset the head unit… now I only have two. I assume one is for the digital key and the other is for phone and media.

I have one for the Camp Speaker too.

For me app battery issue was that it app was set to allow to use Location always. Changing that to "While Using" solved the issue. Phone uses bluetooth for lock and unlock so turning off location services does not affect the key function.

I took delivery yesterday too and was told the multiple connections would merge into one. My phone shows just one now but started out the same way yours did.

I deleted the only profile it would let me delete. which obviously disconnected the key as well. I had to then remove my phone key from the app and re-add it. once I did that I still saw several profiles, but then I turned bluetooth off and on (on my phone) and it reduced the number of connections to 2 + 1 for audio + 1 for the camp speaker. So I went from 7 to 4. That's an improvement for sure.

I also show 4 RIVN bluetooth connections plus Rivian Audio and Rivian Camp Speaker on my phone. iPhone 13 pro.

Okay! Glad I'm not the only one. See my previous comment. I reduced the number but still more than necessary IMO.

The location services is used so that your phone will keep the app alive to be able to proximity unlock.

No. It's for mapping charge stations. I've confirmed multiple times that PaaK works fine without location services enabled.

Same. But my PAAK on the polestar is glitchy.
