Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
They have many times touted their ability to manage the entire software ecosystem, specifically mentioning the Camp Speaker on more than one occasion. Just because they haven't doesn't mean they can't. That said, this random connecting annoys the crap out of me.
Yeah well they also said they’re going to offer up a deep integration with our phones to rival Apple and Google, so I take what they say with a grain of salt. I can’t see how they’d update the camp speaker without a hardwired connection to a PC, but what do I know.
Wirelessly, the same way they have updated the keyfob firmware. And they have shown continuous improvement with every single OTA so far, I would expect that to continue. They are far from perfect, I agree, but they have proven that they are working forward and willing to admit mistakes (see the slow transition to Google maps).
Everyone has their take. I tend to be much more cynical. I got a new VW Atlas recently as my company car. Yes, I know it’s an apple to oranges comparison. But it was so incredibly delightful to get in the car for the first time and have my phone connect wirelessly and have a multitude of options for music and navigation. Not to mention the ability to text via voice. It just seems we’ve gone backwards with the Rivian UI and I think that’s a shame.
I get this too, it's operating in Bizarro World. Randomly connects when in the truck and not using, PITA to connect when I pull it out and want it on.
My latch works just fine in the tunnel, in fact I often have to manually disengage it to pull it out.
Isn’t that a feature?
