So I usually always keep an emergency kit in my vehicles as you never know when you’ll need a bandaid, pain medication, random scissors, etc And the Rivian kit comes with everything medical as well as survival tools. For $150 it doesn’t seem like a bad deal plus the nice way it integrates into the door pocket. I’m curious if anyone has purchased one. I would love to hear your thoughts on this before I purchase one.

So I recently discovered a little trick on Rivian Tracker that allows you to enjoy your infotainment apps without having to pay for Connect+.

Simply using the shortcuts app on iOS, you can set up a very simple automation to activate your iPhone hotspot for your Rivian.You only need to connect your Rivian to your hotspot once.

Once your Rivian is connected to your hotspot, it remembers it. This automation seems to re-activate the hotspot on your phone, and the Rivian automatically connects.

The action is set personal hotspot to “on". This will allow your infotainment apps to work normally without paying for Connect+. Hope someone finds this useful.
