Hi All,

Getting close to my August / Sept estimated delivery date. I was curious for an existing owner or if anyone has seen in depth videos about how you use your phone apps with the Rivian SW and are there any other third party apps integrated other than Spotify?

I know there is no Carplay or Android Auto so when you connect via Bluetooth how does that work and look? Is it only an audio link or more integration? How does it look when you get a phone call and how do you accept it? All these questions and more. I don't recall seeing a video on this and appreciate any pointers.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

it works like any other bluetooth only connection. You get album art when playing off your phone. you have basic playback control (play, pause, ff, re) but must choose the playlist etc from your phone.

You get a little overlay when getting a call that show caller id and contact avatar. you can dial via the dial pad or alexa.

imagine what the bare minimum is and that is what you get when interacting with bluetooth.
