I am taking delivery of my R1T soon (yeah). I umpire baseball I currently leave my wallet and keys in my car and take my key fob with me. Is there an issue if I have the NFC Card in my wallet and leave it in the truck or leave the Key fob in the truck? Can I still lock it with the phone app? Will the truck still think its on?

not a problem no. The NFC card has to be tapped against two specific points on the door (one inside, one out). I've never had a problem keeping the vehicle secured with the NFC card inside.


If you manage to get a wristband,(they're backordered) that'll be perfect foryou.

I would strongly advise against relying solely on the phone key. Mine has stopped working several times, once requiring a service center visit to resolve and once learning my wife stranded. It is strictly a convenience feature and you should always have a backup.

Why can't someone come out with a NFC keychain ? Maybe similar size to the Apple airtag.

I don't want to carry around the fob makes me feel like a knob.

I want someone to make something that slips onto a watch band.

The wrist band is not in the gear shop. Can you order and wait for one?

Hmmm...I have little use for the wrist band but it sure would be nice to have that capability built into an Apple Watch band.

Exactly.

If I didn't wear an Apple Watch, I'd consider the Rivian wristband... But wearing both seems silly/annoying. But something that slips onto an existing watch band (doesn't matter if you wear an Apple Watch, Android, FitBit, or old-school Rolex) would be appreciated.

If you have a Launch Edition and did not receive your wristband key, you are entitled to one once the next batch is manufactured (due in August). To make sure you are in the queue for one, you should contact Rivian Service and have a service ticket opened up for the missing wristband (if they don’t already have one open for you) as this is how they track it.
