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/
The amplifier should definitely have 90-degree connectors. As an EE, I was disturbed by the twisted coax.Pretty good for a first vehicle design, Rivian definitely took the safer over-design route.
I’m guessing the coax problem is a part substitution issue where the alternatives had longer coax cable length, so had to be taped up.
The amplifier wiring clearly was a battle between the electrical team and the body team for space, and body won.
The only unforgivable was the lack of abrasion protection on the one hardness pass through. I can understand the lack of a grommet because the gear tunnel is considered interior space, but it needs better pass through abrasion protection.
Why would that matter? It's still a 12V system.All in all, not bad execution. some odd serviceability choices they made but good job.
I do wonder if the double 12V battery leading to either side of the battery pack is how Rivian has futureproofed their architecture to make it 800V compatible? Yes, I know currently it's not enabled, nor is it something that can be via software per our many forum posts on the subject.
was going to say the same. Easy solution.The amplifier should definitely have 90-degree connectors. As an EE, I was disturbed by the twisted coax.
To me redundancy but why it controls Left/Right instead of F/R is odd.Why would that matter? It's still a 12V system.
The most logical explanation I've heard is packaging considerations.
yeah, I can't explain the L/R split. Will never happen, but I'd love to get a Rivian engineer drunk and hear all their stories.To me redundancy but why it controls Left/Right instead of F/R is odd.
The infotainment is probably that box mounted on the back of the IP.Informative. Does the R1T have a head unit, if so where is it located and how do the roof antenna leads connect to it?
You can get to this part of the harness easy by taking off the passenger side gear tunnel inner plastic pieces. I had the same thoughts as the video about it, but the harness itself is very rigid at that spot and mine wasn't actually contacting the metal. There's enough room that I could wrap it with some anti-abrasion tape, but I don't think it's at all necessary. It does sort of look like there is supposed to be something around that entire hole though.The only unforgivable was the lack of abrasion protection on the one hardness pass through.
