Bro thanks for these updates I’m definitely looking to purchase a rivian soon and this helps

This video and the horn video you did later are both spot on. Seeing the engineering that went into Rivian’s charger mat - that thing has to cost them $1,000 and you’re right - it has never worked for anyone. I bought the same TWraps charger mat the same week I picked up my R1S and it works grt but I also hate that both USB ports are filled. I’m not going to take the time to rewrite like you did but love that you’re showing us how to and calling attention to some Rivian changes for the future, ie the little pen holder slot in front of the charger pad???? It holds a few toothpicks in my car. ;) Solid videos!

Outstanding video! I have found that the factory charger only works with my iPhone 15 pro (with a cover) if I lay it parallel to the dash, rather than perpendicular. This should not be the case, but I just wanted to pass this along to those who want to use the factory charger. Keep up the videos Evan!

Totally agree and maybe they could have removed the wireless charger and leave the 500hz horn if they were looking to cut costs. I bought the hella dual tone horn and replaced it. I didn't even use the 400hz one that Rivian has. Search for the DT connector which plugs directly to the Rivian horn connector. Great video.

@Avionics_test_pilot 6 ай бұрын

I left the OE horn but I think it will sound better with it disconnected. You can still hear the 400hz horn “out of sync “. Here’s a link to the DT connector I used. 2 Set DT 2 Pin Male Female Wiring Harness for Car Fog Lights Work Driving Lights Bar Replacement Connectors a.co/d/8yJAegH

Phone charger works always everywhere on my iPhone, hence all the coils. This is how phone chargers work, needs all the coils to be able to sit anywhere on the surface

Didn't even realize the SUV version was out as I haven't seen one IRL yet. I see the pickups here & there - which is great. What do you mean the OEM wireless charger didn't work? It was, by design, not supplying power to the charger when the vehicle is in motion or your phone would just fall off so it didn't matter either way?

Does it have a security camera system similar to Tesla's? Does the heated steering wheel warm the entire wheel or just areas, like the 3 and 9 o'clock positions?

@Avionics_test_pilot 5 ай бұрын

The security system is very similar to Tesla. It records motion while the car is parked and if you want it to record while driving You have to plug in your own hard drive. The steering wheel heats the top half and the bottom but not the sides. It gets pretty warm.

Doesn't this unit serve another purpose when reprogramming or updating the key fobs? I think there was something about that which is why there is more complexity on the circuit board than would make sense for a charger alone.

@Avionics_test_pilot 6 ай бұрын

I don’t think it does but I’m not 100%. It is on the can bus and when I go into service mode the charger is now offline but I don’t get any faults. I am looking into it. Worse case I solder the connector back on and reinstall.

R1S owner here, also in blue, love the color -- my phone charger works fine while I'm driving... perhaps I have an more recent model or something? (iphone 11 pro)

@Avionics_test_pilot 3 ай бұрын

I have a IPhone SE and it worked when parked but would slide around when driving. I have a MagSafe case so the new charger holds the phone and charges. I have the only blue R1S in Little Rock but I have started to see a lot more around town. There were two white ones in the school pickup line the other day.

The phone chargers work well for our pixel phones. Gotta put them in the right spot which is really easy but my phone stays put. I've heard others having trouble with it as well.

@Avionics_test_pilot 6 ай бұрын

Maybe it’s a problem with apple phones. Glad to hear some phones can charge.

@kencheng2526 6 ай бұрын

I have a 4 years old pixel phone and the charger works pretty good. I wish I can turn the charger off some times because it always charge my phone and I don’t like that. I like to put the phone there but not charging.

@@Avionics_test_pilot it's definitely an apple problem. I've been able to charge a myriad of android models but iPhone will not sync at all. On my android phone it will charge if you hold it in the air half an inch above a charge pad. iPhone seems to require a closer connection
