Prefaced with the fact that I am NOT an audiophile:Congratulations on your new R1S. It looks great and as you say, acceleration is a lot of fun, especially when you take out folks who are not expecting to have their necks snapped back.
On the Meridien sound system, how is it in the R1S? I love it in the R1T and would be curious if it sounds as great in the R1S given the extra open space. I believe R1S has more speakers to account for the third row space. Have a white R1S on order, but not expecting it until late in 2023.
So far, so good. It's on par with if not better than the Meridian system I had in the Range Rover Sport - which is ever so slightly less cavernous than the Rivian; however it had less speakers as well. It definitely gets loud, and there is a significant range when tweaking the sound scape with the EQ, along with options for 3D and Enhanced. I don't think I've turned it louder than 18 yet, but might have to after the concert I'm going to tonight.
Honestly, it'll take a good while for me to tune it. I jump started it with the thread on the EQ settings by Gsxr150 here:
OMG! Meridian audio system is amazing (EQ Share)
I'm having a little learning curve with the Spotify and getting things connected and playlists/artists to sync from phone app to Rivian app, so I haven't jammed out too much with specfically chosen songs, but even the base playlist I started listening to sounded pretty good to me.
Finding that the Alexa integration worked great on first drive, but hence does not - and only brings up the FM every time I tell her to play my music. So gotta work through that as well.
Hoping those are user error.
*** Edit Update ****
After the OTA update to 2022.35.3 -
* Alexa integration working again, pulls up specific songs and requests, and plays games, etc.
* Spotify working, all playlists, artists and settings from App Synced properly to Rivian App.
* PAAK still worked, didn't need to do anything.
Have not looked at anything else yet.
